examples for analysing the background is of Hilton Hotels and its strategy to became the best
among the hotels.

and usually targets the luxurious or superior business class audience. The first Hilton Hotel was
founded in the year 1919 in Dallas, Texas. Today, the hotel is an extremely popular name and
has the current revenue of US$8.90 billion. However, later in the year 2013, the Hilton
Worldwide which is the parent company of Hilton Hotels raised their IPO and hence became a
public company.

Personal background: Conrad Hilton was the founder of the Hilton group of hotels and was the
first owner and beginner of the series of hotels that would turn out to be so luxurious in the
future. Initially intending to become a banker, the owner Mr Hilton instead decided to buy a
hotel and convert it into something more elite and polished with is brand name. This was the
beginning of acquisition and conversion of properties into various hotels which Conrad began
and it never ended until he died a natural death at the ripe age of 91 years.
Experience: It is extremely essential that as time passes, one gains more experience and
therefore, this need to be regularly incorporated in the operational activities. Hilton Hotel has
always based its expansion on this very concept and they have always incorporated newer
technologies and innovative ideas without getting redundant despite it being such an old hotel
franchisee. This has what led them to the top and made a huge name in the luxurious hotels
worldwide.

result in heavy losses to the enterprise. Similarly, as with Skills and education have close
connection. The education of the individual enhance the background of the enterprise through
their skills.

related to risk factor. In terms of Financial risk, every business has the specific budget to initiate
the project and expansion of business. For setting up a new venture finance is the major criteria
to deal with various products and services (Wapshott and Mallett, 2015). Company can grow
their structure or earn profit until they are financially stable. If Hilton hotel didn't have
investment to innovate new things in market such concept can be termed to be in a negative
aspect. The positive aspect is that of rewards. To motivate employees towards work the best way
to help them is promoting rewards in case of hard work and target achievement goal. Rewards
