With a fixed capacity, a highly disposable product and high fixed costs, hotels are a natural candidate for the application of revenue management. Originally developed by the airlines in the 1970s, these analytics-based techniques help predict consumer behavior at the hotel’s market level so that the hotel can sell each room each night at the optimum price.

Meilleurs avis pour THE FUNDAMENTALS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT: THE CORNERSTONE OF REVENUE STRATEGY
I'd like more practice questions throughout the coursing understanding when it makes sense to Yield or lower rates. The final quiz was complicated to understand.
Very good. Just a few minor draw backs, most of the online complimentary links for reading and videos are not working or require you to sign in to a third party account.
It has been a great learning experience. Learnt a lot of new things. Thank you Coursera, Essec Business School and Duetto for guiding me.
Have a wonderful day ahead!
Overall pretty clear and very informative. However a lot of the extra reading materials were links that no longer work. Otherwise, very concise introduction to this topic.
