摘要
En 中文
During the past couple of decades, many hotel chains in the U.S. have shifted in their business strategy: whittling down properties while expanding the management or franchising business. We labeled such strategic shift as an Asset-Light and Fee-Oriented (ALFO) strategy and examined the theoretical and empirical effectiveness of the strategy. Theoretically, resource-based view and corporate finance theory predict competing implications of the ALF strategy, calling for a study for validating the net benefits of the strategy. Our results indicate that expanding fee business and decreasing fixed asset intensity have a positive impact upon firm value. Using path analysis, we further verified the working mechanism of the ALF strategy. The strategy is effective in lifting profitability, mitigating earnings volatility, and thereby contributing to firm's market premium. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
