Um estudo exploratório sobre sistemas de controle gerencial em empresas hoteleiras do Brasil

Nesta pesquisa, o que se pretendeu foi conhecer o atual estágio dos sistemas de controle gerencial utilizados em cinco hotéis localizados no Estado do Espírito Santo, levando-se em conta as peculiaridades do ramo e suas características com relação à adaptação, se necessário, dos diversos conceitos já aplicados em outros tipos de atividades, notadamente no ramo de serviços. Para tanto, procedeu-se a uma revisão de literatura e dos fundamentos teóricos sobre controle gerencial, principalmente aqueles voltados para a ciência comportamental, que serviram de suporte para estabelecer o plano de referência utilizado nesta pesquisa. Por tratar-se de trabalho descritivo, com riqueza de detalhes, foi adotada a metodologia do estudo de caso por ser a mais aconselhável neste tipo de trabalho. Entrevistas, utilizando questionários que continham em sua maior parte perguntas abertas, possibilitaram descrever o processo de controle gerencial existente nos hotéis pesquisados. Os resultados obtidos permitiram análises sobre a natureza deles e o estudo dos sistemas de controle gerencial dos hotéis estudados. Finalmente, uma comparaçao entre os resultados obtidos no trabalho de campo e os fundamentos teóricos levantados na revisão da literatura possibilitaram se chegasse a algumas conclusões importantes, além de permitirem formular algumas recomendações e sugestões para futuras pesquisas.

Do tratamento das reclamações à gestão da insatisfação: o comportamento de empresas hoteleiras mediante a insatisfação de seus clientes

Consumer dissatisfaction, when properly handled, is a significant information source for the manager. Studies in this area allow broadening the understanding of certain customer attitudes and behaviors, such as loyalty, repurchase intention or satisfaction and trust increase. Above and beyond supporting consumer feedback, dissatisfaction can provide significant opportunities for organizational learning. Starting from dissatisfied customer information, companies can detect service flaws and develop new products. This work presents the results of an investigation on the behavior of businesses belonging to the hotel sector in Natal, RN, through the dissatisfaction of their customers. We have sought to map the main problems presented by customers to hotels, in the perception of managers and employees, as well as to understand both the process of dissatisfactionrelated data collection, analysis, and processing, and the utilization of such information by businesses. Beyond this, we have compared the habits of organizations to the company reaction approaches described in the literature: Complaint Handling, Complaint Management, and Dissatisfaction Management. The used methodology has been based on case study. Data was collected via indepth interviews with managers and employees in six hotels, two independent ones and four belonging to national and international hotel networks. We have also made use of documents provided by the organizations, such as guest complaint registers and reports from satisfaction surveys on which content analysis was subsequently performed. The results of the investigation point to a high level of awareness in the companies concerning the importance of consumer dissatisfaction. Even though the maximum grade in the procedure scale is not achieved, it has been observed that answer to dissatisfaction is given in planned and systematic form, geared towards consumer satisfaction and improvement of products and processes. Hotel businesses still have to look into other possibilities for mapping consumer dissatisfaction, which implies, among other aspects, articulation with a range of public and private organizations in such a way as to guarantee sustainability of touristic activities in the long term

A perspectiva do utilizador do Facebook relativamente à escolha de alojamento turístico

Atualmente assistimos a um aumento exponencial do uso dos social media como meio para planear as viagens lazer, bem como procurar por informações relativas a hotéis, restaurantes e outras empresas na indústria de turismo e viagens. Os social media criaram um novo canal de distribuição, tendo este influenciado e alterado a forma como os viajantes determinam o local onde vão ficar alojados. É importante que as empresas hoteleiras compreendam o comportamento dos consumidores face aos social media e, assim, determinar qual a forma de comunicação e que informações deverão disponibilizar nos seus sites. A título de exemplo, os hotéis conseguem interagir com os clientes através das redes sociais, como o Facebook, Instagram ou Youtube, partilhar diversos tipos de conteúdos informativos e prestar assistência a questões. O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o uso das redes sociais, apresentando-se um maior foco na rede social Facebook, na promoção de um estabelecimento hoteleiro e, com isto, determinar se a promoção dos serviços hoteleiros através deste meio, apresenta influência na tomada de decisão de escolha de alojamento turístico. Por outro lado, pretendese analisar o impacto das avaliações/recomendações realizadas pelos consumidores presentes no Facebook. Adotou-se uma metodologia quantitativa, através de um questionário online. Para analisar as hipóteses de estudo recorreu-se a diversos testes estatísticos. Os principais resultados demonstraram que são diversos os meios online e offline em que os consumidores se baseiam para fazer a sua decisão de escolha de alojamento, sendo um destes o Facebook, que apresenta uma grande representatividade. O word-of-mouth, contabilizado através das opiniões dos antigos clientes presentes em sites de avaliações e em redes sociais revela-se uma componente determinante no processo de recolha de informação sobre determinado alojamento e consequentemente influenciador na escolha de alojamento. Por último, verificou-se que o Facebook apresenta ter um papel decisivo no processo de decisão de escolha de alojamento turístico.

Importância da contabilidade de gestão na hotelaria : estudo de caso

A indústria hoteleira é altamente competitiva, principalmente, devido ao facto de acompanhar permanentemente as expetativas dos clientes. A concorrência existente, a crise atual e as constantes mudanças políticas e sociais, obrigam aos gestores hoteleiros a antecipar as necessidades dos clientes. Deste modo, é necessária a utilização de atuais ferramentas de gestão para que as empresas hoteleiras atinjam o sucesso. O presente estudo visa demonstrar a importância da contabilidade de gestão nos hotéis em Portugal, as suas finalidades e vantagens de utilização. Desta forma, pretende-se reunir diversa informação para fundamentar e apoiar a importância da contabilidade de gestão nos hotéis portugueses. Elaborou-se uma breve síntese da atividade turística e hoteleira e da contabilidade de gestão na hotelaria. Pretendeu-se evidenciar a contabilidade geral versus a contabilidade de gestão; apresentar as técnicas e métodos mais utilizados na medição da eficiência das operações correntes e para planear operações futuras; e, referenciar a utilização e vantagens do USALI. Com vista a fornecer aos gestores informação necessária para competirem num ambiente em constante mudança, evidencia-se a contabilidade de gestão como essencial na operação do hotel porque permite como, por exemplo, uma análise detalhada dos rendimentos e dos custos em cada departamento, uma análise de preços de venda e descontos, uma análise da rendibilidade do cliente, definição de estratégias, fixação de preços, entre outros. Optou-se por uma metodologia qualitativa, mais concretamente por um estudo de caso. Este foi elaborado com base em entrevistas realizadas a dois hotéis e com base em documentos disponibilizados. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, verificou-se que os dois hotéis utilizam tanto informação financeira como não financeira, realçando que a contabilidade de gestão é de extrema importância na gestão hoteleira. Contudo, os dois hotéis distinguem-se, na medida em que um utiliza o USALI, considerando que novas técnicas são de extrema importância, enquanto o segundo não utiliza o USALI, observando que as informações disponibilizadas pela contabilidade de gestão são suficientes.
