Makeover will further integrate Ritz-Carlton’s operations
Marriott International is undertaking a corporate makeover that will split it into four autonomous divisions around the globe and bring many formerly independent Ritz-Carlton brand operations into Marriott's corporate offices, Travel Weekly reports.
Marriott President Arne Sorenson told TW the idea is to decentralize power so that the regional presidents “have the resources necessary to make decisions and so those decisions can be faster, more efficient, more local.” However, Sorenson said that the change "as it relates to Ritz-Carlton will be entirely invisible to the guest. And we will still have the Ritz-Carlton president, who will make sure that the brand remains very focused."
Marriott is currently split into four divisions: Ritz-Carlton, which is a global operation; the company's global timeshare business; its international lodging group; and its U.S. and Canadian operations. When the reorganization is complete in 2011, it will consist of four divisions: the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with only the timeshare business operating outside the regional structure, Sorenson said.
