Abstract

The thrust of this study was to determine a plan for the implementation of an empowerment strategy, for resort hotels. The review of the literature failed to reveal a recipe for implementation of an empowerment plan the is comprehensive or designed for long term benefits. However, there are numerous articles and books which discuss components which, may in fact, be critical aspects to an overall strategy - The study analyzed successful empowerment strategies from a corporate department of quality, and three resort hotels regarded as leaders in total quality management. The study used the Delphi Method to obtain consensus of opinion with regard to the necessary ingredients to implement a successful empowerment strategy.
