SWOT Analysis
Marriott International Inc. is a leading firm in its industry. It is known for aiming to maintain its dominance in its position in the market. A SWOT analysis of Marriott shows the following;
Strength
Marriott has a track record that shows it has never failed in integrating complementary firms. It has always been successful to do all this through mergers and acquisition. It has done all this to ensure its operation are smooth and with less completion. Marriott is innovative and has hotels all over the world. They are innovative because they recently launched a mobile app. You can see advertisements about it on Facebook or other social media platforms. (Marriott corporate.2017). You no longer must use a key to get into your room. You just unlock it with your phone now. Not just that but you can do a mobile check-in and skip the front desk. Also, Marriott has its presence and reputation all over the world which makes them well-known in quality business.
Weakness
Marriott Inc. is well known for its desire need to expand. The business has expanded so much to the extent of failing to monitor and maintain the quality of their services throughout. I know this first hand all their hotels are not the same. Some may mention the fact that the Marriott is a family company and how this creates room for error. And it could. Understanding that family tradition and family opinions can offend others or promote an atmosphere that feels "stuck" can put a roadblock up for those future investors. (Marriott corporate.2017). Another weakness is even though they are expanding to many other countries, this could also lead to over population of the hotels and not further along other local companies or promote more of a diversity in the market.
Opportunity
The opportunities Marriott has been modernizing their hotels rooms to fit the trending market and more profitable emergence into new marketable areas. (Marriott International Inc.2017) For the interior design point, there is room to create more of a unique home familiar style within the walls of its rooms. This allows for a better experience for the loyal customer and to the old customer who thought they may have not liked the hotel franchise. The other opportunity of emerging into new markets creates a profitable growth for the company to expand their presence into new categories such as the technology market. Bringing in the google home or amazon Alexa experience or personalize the delights that customer have in their everyday home and bringing it into the hotel room will only further the experience. (Marriott International Inc. 2017)
Threat
Vulnerability to terror attacks- the travel industry is one that is highly targeted by terrorists. Especially 5 star rated properties. If it were to get attacked, the firm would lose its trust in their esteem clients. Threats to Marriott include more competition to enter the existing hotel industry and price freezing. As more and more innovative companies make a break through, there is more attraction to them and the idea to try something new in the customer's perspective, leaving Marriott to fend for themselves in the fight of hotel rooms. Also, as the market expands, the prices of other companies can tend to look better, especially if they offer the same amenities and rewards.
