One of the world's largest providers of business software solutions, SAS, has joined the corporate partners program of Cornell's Center for Hospitality Research. A private corporation with over $2 billion in revenues based in North Carolina, SAS has installations at more than 45,000 business, government, and university sites in 113 countries. Steven Pinchuk, vice president, profit optimization systems, will join the center's advisory board as part of the corporate partners program agreement. As a member of the partner program, SAS will have a seat at all center roundtables and the opportunity to interact with Cornell faculty to learn about research in progress.
“Cornell's Center for Hospitality Research has built a well deserved reputation as the premier name in hospitality thought leadership, education, and training,” said Pinchuk. “SAS is honored to partner with the center to help identify current industry trends and address needs that will continue to benefit and improve the global hospitality market. As an existing member of Cornell's Revenue Management Advisory Committee in both the U.S. and in Singapore, I have had a long history of working with Cornell and I am delighted to further this relationship.” (Cornell University: School of Hospitality Management 4-7-2009)
