This document summarizes a research study on the impact of IT-enabled customer experience management (CEM) on customer perceptions and business performance in the hotel industry. The study examined how allowing customers to personalize their stay through an online portal (Hoxell) affected: 1) The intensity and frequency of customer preference elicitation. 2) Customer satisfaction ratings. 3) The proportion of customers booking directly with the hotel on return visits. The results showed that IT-enabled personalization significantly increased both the intensity and frequency of preferences shared, as well as customer satisfaction ratings. It also increased the likelihood of customers booking directly with the hotel on subsequent visits.
