direction for Business Excellence. Here in Ritz-Carlton, strategic planning puts a stake of what

the hotel is hoping to achieve and also serves as a guide for workers to direct their time and

resources toward the goals and objectives that the company has adopted (Tammy Barton, 2019).

For example, using strategic planning we are able to rank the products and services very

important to our customers, the services that are rising in importance to our customers and

services and products that are poor comparatively to competitors.

mission, strategy, methods and foundation of the company. It also selects the company’s

strategic mandates and develops the company’s objectives and targets. These theories help in

governing Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s principles like the employees’ pride and joy of the company or
