【 摘 要 】

Harrah's Entertainment operates a highly diversified network of gambling facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom. This case introduces students to Harrah's use of price controls for hotel revenue management: how it works, how it integrates with Harrah's Total Rewards loyalty card, and how it might be changed. Within the context of a course on revenue management or service operations, the case can be used effectively to discuss principles of revenue management and to demonstrate the use of a number of quantitative analysis techniques to design and optimize revenue management systems. Case Teaching Note: Interested Instructors please see the Instructor Materials page for access to the restricted materials. To maintain the integrity and usefulness of cases published in ITE, unapproved distribution of the case teaching notes and other restricted materials to any other party is prohibited.
