What companies can do in the future to remain competitive(2020 Megatrends) • “Recognize that service will be the most important competitive differentiator in the future. 55% of respondents expect to compete on service in 2020, well ahead of quality (33%) and price (9%) • Track feedback and complaints. 48% more of those companies that provide excellent service have developed proper feedback and complaints systems in place. They're also more likely to use them for identifying service weaknesses. • Empower your employees. 76% of leading companies have devolved decision making to their staff, compared with 44% of the others. They prioritize training and defining service standards and goals over investing in standardized service processes. • Look at information-enabled customers rather than technological changes.

Green washing – consequences? “The notion of green washing was born from a critical view of companies’ environmental responsibility and focuses on why the public should be skeptical of companies’ green claims. The term was coined in the 1980s by Jay Westerveld who saw the inconsistency in hotels that didn’t have recycling programs but encouraged the reuse of towels (Romero, 2008). Westerveld accused hotels of making false claims about being environmentally responsible because hotels only adopted environmentally responsible practices that would reduce costs.” DervilleGallicano, Tiffany.
