Executive Summary
Effective communication is critical for the success of any organisation, particularly in the hospitality
industry (Deery et al., 2008). At the Junction Hotel, communication breakdowns have led to operational
2
, inefficiencies, low employee morale, and inconsistent customer service. This report evaluates these
challenges using Henri Fayol’s Classical Management Theory, Max Weber’s Bureaucratic Model, and
modern communication theories, including the Transactional Model and Media Richness Theory. Key
issues identified include unclear reporting lines, a lack of structured feedback mechanisms, minimal
staff involvement in decision-making processes, and ineffective communication channels. Survey data
reveals that 73% of employees feel that management communication is unclear, contributing to role
confusion and disengagement. The report recommends structured communication frameworks, AI-
powered digital tools, and participatory decision-making processes to resolve these issues.
Implementing these strategies will enhance internal coordination, improve employee engagement,
and elevate service quality, ensuring the Junction Hotel remains competitive in the hospitality industry.
