Miguel Baltazar is the co-author of “Overview of Hospitality Revenue Management,” a chapter for a low-cost textbook and certification targeting higher education undergraduate students studying this discipline. This is a Smith Travel Research edition co-authored with undergraduate professors from around the world, and is estimated to be published and available to students in 2022.

Miguel Baltazar and Pam Li co-authored an operations management book chapter titled “Inventory Management,” where they discuss operations inventory control extracted from the field of revenue management. Unlike manufacturing firms where the production of goods can be adjusted according to the demand of customers, hospitality firms do not have the ability to alter the capacity of the changing demand of guests in a short period of time. Given the relatively fixed capacity or supply, maximizing revenue through inventory control is essential for hospitality operations. The book was published by Emerald Publishing Limited in June 2021 in Kindle and hardcover editions.
