'Tourism Company's Values Profiles: The Case of a Russian Tour Operator’, written by me, Kira Reshetnikova and Marina Predvoditeleva is a result of our joint study, it is a product of the collaboration between our department and  the Master's Programme in Experience Economy: Hospitality and Tourism Management. Unfortunately, in Russia, HR management in hospitality and tourism is not as developed as in some other countries. The results of the study published in the book depict the values profile of a tour company and reveal significant differences in the value orientations of managers and employees.'

Kira Reshetnikova

'Hospitality and tourism industry is not a popular area of research for Russian scholars, in contrast to their international colleagues. We are trying to change this situation at HSE. The section on management in hospitality and tourism is a regular event at the ‘Contemporary Problems in Management: Exploring the Boundaries’ conference, organized annually by the School of Business Administration. The school lecturers also carry out interdisciplinary research on this topic.'

Marina Predvoditeleva

'It’s obvious that in sectors like hospitality and tourism,  theory and practice can’t work separately, without interacting.  I'm sure that since the crisis which occurred in the hospitality and tourism industry in 2014, and the following reset, we can say that the industry has experienced positive trends, and human resources management is a key issue in its development. This means that the cooperation between the Master's Programme in Experience Economy: Hospitality and Tourism Management and the Department of Human Resources Management has many promising opportunities that will lead to new interesting projects and publications.'
