This case study examines the Ardington Hotel, a UK-based establishment, through a comprehensive business analysis. It begins with an introduction to the hotel and its operations, followed by a detailed SWOT and PESTEL analysis to evaluate its internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats. The study then delves into different leadership styles, comparing and contrasting autocratic, democratic, free rein, and transformational approaches, with a recommendation for the most suitable styles for the hotel's growth. Furthermore, it explores the ethical and social responsibilities of the hotel, addressing issues such as employee theft and ethical conduct. The analysis considers political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors impacting the hotel's operations, and concludes with a reflection report summarizing key findings and recommendations for the hotel's future success within the dynamic UK business environment.
