Yeah read about that yesterday and wondered myself what the brand needs to have to create value.. Have no real idea how much its hotels and assets bring to the table globally..
Another thought was how its been the American century with so much pop culture coming from there and spreading round the world enhancing the HR brand.. Now will that continue into the future ?? Or will nieche type interests (asian film, globalized music, spread via net) erode that brand advantage..
