description Tässä Pro gradu tutkielmassa tarkastellaan kilpailua Suomen hotellitoimialalla. Tavoitteena on paljastaa Suomessa toimivien hotelliyritysen käyttämät kilpailutoimet (competitive actions) ja tutkia kuinka kansainvälisten hotelliyritysten markkinoille tulo vaikuttavaa alan kilpailuun. Tämä työ perustuu kilpailudynamiikan tutkimukseen ja kilpailutoimia koskevaan kirjallisuuteen. Tutkimuksessa käytetty tutkimuslähestymistapa noudattaa Gioia-metodologiaa, induktiivista tutkimusmenetelmää. Tutkimusstrategiana käytetään monimenetelmäisyyttä; eli tutkimuksessa käytetään sekä määrällistä että laadullista tietoa. Tiedot analysoidaan ja visualisoidaan kahden data struktuurin avulla. Tämä varmistaa tutkimusprosessin luotettavuuden ja läpinäkyvyyden. Tiedonkeruu tapahtuu kahdessa vaiheessa. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa käytetään määrällistä dataa, joka koostuu julkisista tiedotteista kilpailutoimista. Tätä määrällistä dataa käytetään rakentamaan kilpailutoimintaprofiilit jokaiselle kuudelle tutkitulle hotelli yritykselle. Toisessa vaiheessa, näiden profiilien perusteella, haastatellaan hotelli toimialan asiantuntijoita tarjoamaan syvällisiä näkemyksiä ei-julki- sesti tiedotetuista kilpailutoimista. Lisäksi haastatteluista pyritään saamaan perusteellinen käsitys hotellitoimialan taloudellisista ja kilpailullisista haasteista ja mahdollisuuksista. Hotelliyritysten havaitut kilpailutoimet Suomessa ovat 1) Tuotteen / palvelun parantaminen (teknologiset parannukset / innovaatiot); 2) Klusterit, verkostoituminen ja sijainti; 3) Revenue management / hinnoittelustrategiat; 4) Markkinoiden laajentaminen / markkinoille tulo; 5) Brändäys / tuotemerkkijärjestö / markkinointi / palkinnot; 6) Myynti; 7) Liiketoimintamalli ja strategia; 8) Asiakaspalvelu, palvelun laatu, asiakassuhteiden hallinta; ja 9) Työntekijöiden tyytyväisyys, työntekijöiden sitoutuminen. Haastattelujen laadulliset tiedot osoittavat, että hotelliyritykset toivottavat uudet kilpailijat tervetulleiksi toimialalle. Uudet kilpailijat parantavat toimialaa ja luovat uusia mahdollisuuksia, kuten korkeampia tuloksia RevPARissa. This study examines competition in the Finnish hotel industry. The aim is to reveal the competitive actions hotel companies in Finland focus on, and investigate how market en- tries of international hotel companies affect the competition in the industry. As such, this thesis builds on competitive dynamics research and competitive actions literature. The research approach used in this thesis follows the Gioia methodology, an inductive research method. The research is conducted using a mixed-methods approach; collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. The data is analysed and visualised in two data structures. This ensures rigor and transparency of the research process. The data collection occurs in two phases. In the first phase, quantitative data, consisting of public announcements about competitive actions, is used to allocate competitive action profiles to each of the six studied hotel companies. In the second phase, based on these profiles, interviews are conducted with hotel industry experts to provide insights into non-promoted competitive actions, as well as to gain an in-depth understanding of economic and competitive challenges and opportunities within the hotel industry. The found competitive actions used by hotel companies in Finland are 1) Improving product/service (Technological improvements/innovations); 2) Clustering, Networking and Locality; 3) Revenue management/pricing strategies; 4) Market expansion/market entry; 5) Branding /Brand Affiliation/Marketing/Awards; 6) Sales; 7) Business Model & Strat- egy; 8) Customer Service, Service Quality, Customer Relationship Management; and 9) Employee Satisfaction, Employee Engagement. The qualitative data from the interviews show that hotel companies welcome new entrants to the industry. New entrants are fore- seen to improve the industry since they could create new opportunities such as increased RevPAR.
