= Future of Airbnb?
Main external issues related to competitors. Airbnb is present in three different markets:
ISSUE 1 - Price:
1. Reduction of commission charged to guests
2. Apply management accounting techniques to reduce costs:
3. Implementing Costing System
ISSUE 2 - Conventional hotel chains entering the sharing economy market:
1. Breakfree is not competitive in price – no action required
2. Opportunity to lure landlords to swap site management for a reduced service fee.
The primary focus should be concentrated in the improvement of business processes which can be acquired by applying management accounting techniques such as:
TQM (Total Quality Management)
BPR (Business Process Reengineering)
Implementation of costing systems.
