Emotions and Affective Decisions in Hospitality Equity Investment

This innovative title is the first interdisciplinary volume to examine private equity investment in hospitality businesses through the lens of the socio-cultural concepts of affect and emotion.

In particular, this book explores the social and relational nature of hospitality investing, uncovering how connections between bodies engaged in investment are the site and source of these affective and emotional impingements. Shining a light on the activity of equity investment into hospitality businesses, this title examines how entrepreneurs relinquish part ownership to investor/s in return for funds, as well as the affective and emotional entanglements of hospitality investing and the implications in the decision making of the activity.

This work offers new social and relational understandings of equity investment in hospitality businesses and will be of pivotal interest to researchers, practitioners and students from fields such as hospitality studies, finance and economics, management, cultural studies and sociology.
