Discussion # 1
Should the Hampton by Hilton use the same competitive strategy that Motel 6 uses? Explain.
Use concepts from the course to make your case.
Note that the question is not whether Motel 6 should use the strategies that Hampton uses; it is
only the other way around. Note as well that the question is only about competitive
strategies (aka business-level), not corporate or functional strategies. Be sure to focus on the
correct level of strategies.
Respond to the discussion question by Wednesday at 11:59 pm CST, with a minimum of 250
words and 2 scholarly journal references from the library.
Respond to 2 classmates by Sunday at 11:59 pm CST with posts that are each at least 100
words long.
Responses to classmates should be substantive, and they should focus on the original
topic. Simply responding with “I agree,” “I enjoyed…” or “I disagree,” followed by brief
perfunctory statements is unacceptable. Your response needs to enrich and extend the
discussion.
Discussion #2
Considering all the concepts you have learned in this course, what would you consider one of
your most significant takeaways, and why? IMPORTANT: Although you may have several
significant takeaways, you should discuss only one of them. The point is to provide some depth
in one takeaway rather than providing shallow discussions of several concepts.
