Read and discuss the scenario of “Brunt Hotel Staffing”

Read the scenario of “Brunt Hotel Staffing” Background Information on the OrganizationBrunt Hotels, PLC, owns more than 60 hotels throughout the United Kingdom. They recently acquired a small hotel chain headquartered in France. Brunt’s chief executive decided that half of the new hotels in France would be retained and rebranded as part of the Brunt Hotels Group; the other half will be sold.This will support Brunt’s strategic objective of growing the organization slowly to make sure that new ventures are well supported and opened on time and on budget. Brunt’s hotels are considered budget accommodations; they are functional, clean and reasonably priced.Most guests stay for one to three nights and are a combination of business and leisure travelers. The hotels are typically situated in downtown locations that are easily accessible by mass transit. Tourists are attracted to these hotels in popular visitor destinations where the many local attractions mean thatthey will not be spending much time in their hotel rooms.The organization has decided to use an ethnocentric approach and send some of their existing UK-based managers to France to lead the changeover of the new hotels and then manage them after they reopen. If this new overseas venture is successful, Brunt may decide to acquire other small hotel groups inother European countries. The organization would like to own 150 hotels in the next five years. Their 10- year plan is to own 300 hotels across Europe. This is an ambitious target, so it is important that the organization finds an effective formula to operate successfully in other countries. Staffing ProblemThe organization has never owned hotels outside the UK before, and has hired a team of independent management consultants to advise them on how to proceed. They provided the consultants the following information during their initial meeting: A majority of their existing managers said n they would like a chance to work abroad. None of their existing managers speak French fluently. They will allow four weeks to rebrand the hotels. The new hotels must be ready to open afterthat time. They expect to recruit a large number of staff for the new French hotels, because more than 70percent of the employees from the acquired organization left. They will require their managers to be flexible and move between countries if any problemsarise.Discussion Question:Assuming you are one of the independent management consultants, the hotel management asked you if they should look only at internal candidates who are parent country nationals (PCNs) or recruit host country nationals (HCNs). What do you suggest about the pros and cons using PCNs and HCNs?
