• The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., Mitchell Dettloff December, 2010 If one name in hospitality epitomizes luxury, glamor, and a commitment to top-of-the-line service, it is The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. From its landmark Boston hotel to its facilities and resorts around the world, Ritz-Carlton sets the gold standard for the hospitality industry. Ritz-Carlton raised new expectations for lodging when it created a luxury hotel setting. Every room held a private bath, and staff dressed in formal attire; dining included a la carte choices of gourmet cuisines; and every guest enjoyed a personalized experience. Today, Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts remain some of the world’s top luxury destinations. Ritz-Carlton is also the only hotel company to twice receive the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. In addition, various Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts across the globe have been honored with AAA’s Five Diamond and Four Diamond Awards, Mobil’s Five Star and Four Star Awards, and places on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List and Travel and Leisure 500 World’s Best Hotels list. Beyond its commitment to customer happiness, Ritz-Carlton also devotes itself to improving the lives of individuals and communities around the world. Ritz-Carlton regularly partners with organizations and social enterprises to provide aid in impoverished places or for communities in need of emergency relief. Ritz-Carlton employees have served meals in homeless shelters, helped to renovate community facilities, built homes, and worked to help break the cycle of poverty around the world. The Ritz-Carlton Environmental Action Conservation Teams (REACT) also help reduce the company’s carbon footprint, protect endangered species, and clean up roads and beaches. Lastly, Ritz-Carlton has launched a Succeed through Service program to mentor young students in gaining life skills, exploring careers in hospitality, and receiving workplace training. Mitchell Dettloff served on the Ritz-Carlton team as a Training Director of the food and beverage staff. Mitchell Dettloff managed the hotel’s upscale Grille and Georgian Room dining rooms in Pasadena, California, as well.

• Mitchell Dettloff - The web Competition to Save newspapers, a1Articles October, 2009 When beleaguered middle management from top newspaper corporations met at a Chicago airport hotel in late May, they decided they required a savior – that is, a tech company to help them figure out methods to earn money on the internet. Letters inviting solutions went out to 10 companies, and in July the responses discreetly rolled in. Google’s offer accidentally showed up online Sept. Nine, sparking a sea of media reports about Google’s plan to save papers. Mitchell Dettloff But what of the other firms that gave ideas, ranging from established powers in the tech world like IBM and Microsoft to such up-and-comers as YouData and Journalism Online? Mitchell Dettloff ‘There’s actually a potential for one of these companies to become the most popular and rule the field, and that is’s particularly true if their technology and business model envisions some a multisite pass,’ says Rich Gordon, director of digital invention at the Medill school of Journalism. ( See the 10 biggest tech screw ups of the decade. ) Mitch Dettloff Google has an edge over the other contenders since it already has the technology available. Google’s latest proposal entails expanded use of its Checkout product, which currently lets users shop across the Web but sign in in one place. Its paper platform would include a similar single sign-on where users could peruse content from different paperspapers for one price . But Google’s relationship with newspapers is a bit stressed, typically because of the way Google reports now distributes paper content – effectively diverting readers away from individual reports sites by letting them scan press releases and story shorts without leaving Google. [**] on Sept. 16, Google attempted to mend fences with newspapers by launching Fast Flip, a free news center that permits readers to scan thru participating paperspapers, but gives those papers a share of the income from adverts placed round the site. ( See the best business deals of 2008. ) Another proposal comes from Journalism Online, a pay-for-news company whose founders include Steven Brill, the previous editor of Content, and L. Gordon Crovitz, a former publisher of the WSJ. The organization’s offer would provide an outlet for stories from many suppliers, but would allow them to choose which parts of their content should go behind a pay wall and how much to charge. Unlike Google Journalism Online’s platform remains in progress. Another suggestion from MyWire’s world stories Service, owned by Louis Borders ( the founding father of Borders Books ), would also organize content from participating papers behind a pay wall, but it uses existing technology. Microsoft, the other big-time company that, like Google, already has the technology available to put into effect a pay wall, also proposes totaling information from many news sources in one pay-to-play location. The firm’s suggestion emphasizes user preferences and hopes to make the content accessible from any device, both on- and off-line. Yahoo is said to be readying an idea as well , but hasn’t yet given any details. ( See the top ten magazine covers of 2008. ) So who will win? Randy Coats, VP of interactive for Scripps Howard newspapers, will make the choice for his thirteen newspapers. He believes that tech companies that base their suggestions on existing tools stand the best chance ; Google is the favourite, he adds, because of its proven history in monetizing online content. ‘This is way too important for us to be trusting vaporware.’ It is hard to tell what payoff would go to the winning technology provider, announces Gordon, nor is it even known who would own the content. There is also the problem of whether the diverse pay-for-content ideas would fly with clients. Google manager Eric Schmidt latterly told UK broadcasting managers that charging for online content will not work except for niche and specialist markets. Consumer surveys tend to support those doubts. A Belden Interactive survey released in mid-September revealed that computer users who said they’d pay for stories online would shell out an average of only $4.64 a month, while 47% of the group surveyed asserted they would not pay anything
