The challenge for the hospitality industry is knowing how best to utilize technological advances and when to either let go of a “traditional” model or refine it to be more efficient. One specific aspect is how technology enables selection and procurement in business-to-business relationships. Explore technology within purchasing in the hospitality or retail industry and discuss how the purchasing role or operations is or can be affected by decisions to implement or not implement new technology or processes. If using retail, be sure to compare to uses within a hospitality environment. A basis of comparison could be used with Radio Frequency IDs and how they affected inventory management. Identify the next step for purchasing technology in hospitality.
