Of course, Amazon can afford to slash prices to grow the grocer's market share, but clearly, Amazon must do something that makes Whole Foods' model more sustainable. There's no easy answer or there wouldn't be so much conversation; however, among the things Amazon can offer that Whole Foods didn't have before are large-scale efficiencies.

Analysis to Action: The Smart Way Independent Hotels Can Manage Distribution
Margaret Ady | November 21, 2017
By Margaret Ady You've surely heard before that the big brand investment in direct booking campaigns trickles down to independents (by way of travelers being more aware of the value of booking directly). Hotel brands have poured billions of dollars into direct booking campaigns, and a report by Hitwise in May of this year shows that for some of the major players, direct bookings are looking up.

No More Spaghetti: Where Hotel Technology Must Go in 2017
January 17, 2017
By Margaret Ady A fly on the wall of a conversation about hotels and technology will almost invariably hear the word silos. How are technology silos holding us back, for instance? Data silos are a barrier in any organization, but this term doesn't adequately convey the true mess that the hospitality finds itself in. The problem is that silos suggest order. Some logical grouping of like things. But this is hardly what we have in hospitality anymore. Enter, Exhibit A! The Spaghetti Chart! The spaghetti chart illustrates the reality of the situation.
