Hospitality: Introduction

Hospitality is a theme that can be researched from different perspectives. Every perspective or viewpoint has its own value. On top of that these viewpoints determine the research methodology and structure of academic articles to a great extent. For example, an article on commercial hospitality within the hospitality industry written from a business perspective offers a completely different approach than an article exploring the concept of hospitality from a philosophical perspective. Or think of the question how you can develop hospitality in an organization. The latter focuses much more on behavioral change in organizations and requires a psychological frame. On the other hand, the development of hospitality in society is a sociological question. Because of the multitude of academic approaches possible you find here databases and articles from diverse academic disciplines.
