Gregory Cross announces publication of 'Chasing Revenue'
LA QUINTA, Calif., Sep. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Author Gregory Cross, the founder of Hilton's revenue management discipline and also the first senior vice president of revenue management for Hyatt Hotels, documents the difficulty of reimagining hotel pricing and decision making in the late 20th century in his memoir "Chasing Revenue: The Birth of Revenue Management" (published by Archway Publishing).
The book is an autobiographical account of how business decisions, sales and management were transformed, within the hospitality industry, in the latter part of the 20th century by the introduction of database systems, voluminous data and the unforeseen impact of digital distribution when the Internet was still in its infancy. In "Chasing Revenue," Cross documents how wrangling these newfound distributors, predictive algorithms and intelligence into a useful business model was constantly challenged by an industry that did not want to change. And finally the author discusses how revenue management evolved from a buzzword to an essential business practice that revolutionized the hotel industry.
"'Chasing Revenue' is a human story filled with mistakes, wrong turns and seemingly insurmountable obstacles," Cross explains. "It will inspire the reader to better understand how to survive in the trenches of modern, corporate business."
"Chasing Revenue" is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Revenue-Birth-Management/dp/1665705922.

Shares of semiconductor specialist Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) — already one of the biggest names in video games — got a bit bigger this morning when the company announced it has landed a new partner for its Nvidia GeForce NOW online gaming service. In today's press release, Nvidia says Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) will make its "hit games" and Apex Legends available on Nvidia's cloud gaming service. This is good news for Nvidia, which last year lost multiple high-profile partners after it declined to strike revenue-sharing deals with them — and as some of its partners struck out on their own to develop independent online gaming systems.
