What would your suggestion be, if the management of HomeInn Limited determines that guests experience (primarily influenced by cleanliness of facilities and food service) is a very important critical success factor (CSF)?

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Where the management of HomeInn Limited determines that guests experience (primarily influenced by cleanliness of facilities and food service) is a very important critical success factor (CSF) it may choose not to outsource these activities to outside vendors. Quality control issues and poor customer service may wipe out any cost savings attributed to lower expenses from the outsourcing model. HomeInn Limited would then have to consider developing in-house departments that cater to cleanliness and food service. Control over factors such as input material used, the performance of service, equipment used, training of staff and other essential activities can ensure that the required service quality can be achieved. Better service enhances guest experience through these critical activities. Compared to outsourcing, this might be a costlier option. However, since the guests are ready to pay a premium for service quality, HomeInn Limited could choose to charge higher rates for its resort properties.
