Book Description

January 23, 2001 047134849X 978-0471348498 1
How hospitality managers prevent legal problems and avoid litigation

This comprehensive text prepares students and professionals in hospitality management to negotiate the industry's complex network of legal requirements and manage their operations in a way that will minimize the risk of a lawsuit. Hospitality Law combines relevant legal information about the industry with a series of interactive exercises that foster preventative legal management and effective decision-making.

Rather than poring over case law, students learn decision-making through active participation in critical thinking exercises, hypothetical situations, and team activities. By looking at how various parties made choices and how legal problems could have been avoided, students will learn to apply a practical legal awareness to their own actions. Classroom-tested to assure understanding and application, this fresh approach to teaching hospitality law:
* Stresses an interactive approach to learning and decision-making
* Emphasizes real-life situations rather than extensive legal citations
* Includes legal guidelines to help hospitality managers avoid litigation
* Covers safety and security requirements, disputes with customers, hiring and firing employees, liabilities associated with serving alcohol, and much more
* Familiarizes students with technology through Internet searches

Supplemented with numerous checklists, step-by-step procedures, and written forms to help students create legally compliant policies and respond to changing situations, Hospitality Law is destined to become an indispensable part of every hospitality manager's education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minimize legal difficulties, April 25, 2001
This review is from: Hospitality Law: Managing Legal Issues in the Hospitality Industry (Hardcover)
As President & CEO of the Texas Hotel and Motel Association, I have known Stephen Barth as a revered professor of hospitality law at the University of Houston's Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, as a tremendously popular seminar leader, and now, I am pleased to say, as an outstanding author.

His book, Hospitality Law, provides an up-to-date information source that can teach practicing hospitality managers and students how to avoid and minimize legal difficulties they might otherwise face in the running of lodging properties. The book is well written, easy to follow, and best of all, gives examples from the actual operations of lodging and restaurant establishments. Especially strong are the sections on contract law, safety and security, and employment issues.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the legal issues that arise in the everyday decisions that a lodging property professional must make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Law, Made it easy., June 21, 2001
By 
Keith C. Su, Bellagio Hotel & Casino (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hospitality Law: Managing Legal Issues in the Hospitality Industry (Hardcover)
The authors made the legal issues easy to understand. I was out there looking for a such book for a long long time, and this is the book. This book helpes me to be prepared for some potential legal matters that I may have to face in a complicated casino hotel environment. I had a great opportunity to meet with the author Stephen Barth at the New York Hotel Show one year. He was a keynote speaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great industry resource, April 11, 2001
By 
Chris Longstreet (Jenison, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hospitality Law: Managing Legal Issues in the Hospitality Industry (Hardcover)
Great industry resource for lodging and hospitality managers. This book is far more practical than others Ive used or reviewed. Mr. Barth makes the book usuable for students, yet extremely practical for those already in working in the field. We now promote and encourage the use of this book with all those we work with.
