Abstract

This article reports the progress of a study of the careers of hotel managers and draws comparisons with a previous study. In methodological terms, the use of age distribution is retested and the notion of career logics is introduced for the first time as a method of interpretation of a career sequence. As in the previous study, the prominence of food and beverage experience remains as does the role of assistant managers as the basic platform for a hotel management career.
