About the Course

With a fixed capacity, a highly disposable product and high fixed costs, hotels are a natural candidate for the application of revenue management. Originally developed by the airlines in the 1970s, these analytics-based techniques help predict consumer behavior at the hotel’s market level so that the hotel can sell each room each night at the optimum price. With modern-day rising acquisition costs and distribution complexities, revenue management techniques have increasingly been adopted by both small and large hotel companies, making a comprehensive understanding of segmentation, forecasting and pricing an essential requirement for today’s hospitality professionals. The purpose of this course is to provide a core understanding of the fundamentals of revenue management, which ties into the larger picture of revenue strategy. The course is structured to provide an insightful look into Revenue Management. Created in conjunction with Duetto, this course is hosted by a group of revenue management leaders in both theory and with hands-on experience at properties around the world. Upon completion of the course students should be empowered with industry best practices, which can be applied across the vast diversification the hotel industry to empower those to optimize profits. Duetto delivers powerful revenue strategy solutions to the world’s leading hotels and casinos, combining unparalleled expertise with world-class cloud-based technology.

This course is a bit repetitive and provides only a few real life examples. As well as this, the evaluation of this course is based on the result of a single quiz of 15 questions, which is not enough to prove any knowledge at all. I think it should focus on a more practice oriented course in order to master the price optimization process and see how it fluctuates in real life examples.

However, this course gives great insights and useful concepts that are of huge importance to the application of the revenue management activities.

Es una buena introducción al mundo de Revenue Management para el sector hotelero. La razón de mi puntuación se debe a la falta de actualización de muchas de las lecturas y soportes adicionales, que seguramente hubieran complementado mucho más el curso.

Interesting course as introduction to Revenue Management. It is really a shame that most additional readings and videos are no longer available. Also some of the written materials have basic grammar and spelling mistakes.

Los conceptos teóricos muy buenos. Falto aplicación practica. Sentí que las preguntas de los tests daban por supuestos conceptos y prácticas no desarrolladas. La gran mayoría de material de apoyo no estaban disponibles.

Good knowledge over all. Most of the suplementary readings did not work at all. That was a bummer. Also could not watch the videos as the guys were moving theirs hands like crazy people :) but the audio was ok.

Some good very good content and well strucutred. Shame that a lot of the additional reading/videos are not available. Also who told the presenters to use their hands like windmills - very off-putting.

A nice and lively presentation - thank you. It is however a complex topic and will demand additional reading, which is fine. The reason for the 3 stars - a slower pace would have been great.

While the course content and execution is great, having a pdf of the content at hand would be helpful during class. Also, the course is 5 years old and most links do not work anymore

The content was well delivered. But the additional resources links are expired or do not exist. They need to be updated. Final Exam questions quite a task

Tests and quizzes don't really ask the right things and the answers given are hard to understand. Bad quizzes but lectures informative.

This MOOC is a little hard to understand, perhaps dedicating more time to explain and unerstand terminology could be a great idea.

complementary reading items are not available and the segmentation part is quite vague to understand.
