The Ritz-Carlton Case Study Few brands attain such a high standard of customer service as the luxury hotel, The Ritz-Carlton.

Through this, they would polish their innate skill for servicing customers and prove to be the right fit for the job. The most important challenge that the company might have faced in my opinion would be the transition time between the “scripted approach” to “figure-it-out-yourself
