Companies are interacting with people through the use of social media due to its low cost and the number of people they can send their message to, especially if it is an advertisement on a product they want to sell. Because of the rising tide of social media and the necessity it is for companies to use it as a major tool today, it can be catastrophic if misused. This is why companies need ringmasters to manage the social media activity. One company in particular that has suffered from a catastrophe on social media is Qantas Airlines. A major airline company that had their promising plans backfire because of a concept called, Hashtag Hijacking. Ringmasters and Hashtag Hijacking correlate with each other because hashtag hijacking can be avoided
No matter how a business operates, change is inevitable and affects all businesses. CAMERON SMITH investigates the changes Qantas have had to undergo in order to keep up with their competitors, whilst navigating the challenges of low cost of fares.
“Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.” William Pollard’s, a 20th century physicist, words show us the power of being proactive, and igniting change to strengthen a company’s productive climate (Sellers, Boone, Harper, 2011). Acme Airlines flight attendants lacked incentive to improve the quality of their work, as a result of distrustful management and overall frustration within the company. Acme took successful steps to rebuild their FA program into a more relationship oriented work environment. Through an understanding of effective leadership, we will use the
Several factors drive the recent culture of mergers within the industry; rising fuel costs, a labor-relations culture that originated from government regulation of U.S. airlines, a reactive instead of proactive strategic management business model, a high risk of substitute products as a strategy for growth that dominate the air industry (Martin, 2014). After years of struggling to stay proactive in a shifting market, because of labor demands, a new bankruptcy movement came over the industry putting other U.S airlines in jeopardy. In addition to American Airlines, several other airlines filed Chapter 11. The upsets labor difficulties have on fare and competition is the chief reason for the formation. Accordingly, as market circumstances change organization will more than likely reassess and modify priorities and alliance
On 8th March 2014, MH370 a B777-200 aircraft departed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at 12.41am carrying 239 on board including passengers, 2 infants and flight crews was declared to be missing by Malaysian Airlines (MAS). The flight was supposed to arrive in Beijing at 6.30am on the same day however; the Subang Air Traffic Control reported a loss of contact with the aircraft at 2.40am as stated by MAS. It is till this day the disappearance of flight MH370 remains as one of aviation’s biggest unsolved mysteries with numerous unproven theories.
This was a sad day for everyone in both the immediate and extended “Delta family,” a day perhaps as sad in its own way as the death of Mr. Woolman almost 40 years before. The sadness mixes with fear by employees and retirees, their families, stockholders, customers, vendors, taxpayers, governments and all others among the tens of thousands impacted by the bankruptcy. Leadership decisions by Delta’s Board and CEO’s over a long period of years laid the foundation for Delta to be in a position where the factors would have a large enough impact to result in bankruptcy. By promoting Ron Allen to CEO, primarily because he had moved up the chairs in the company through Beeb’s efforts, the Board showed their lack of awareness of the need for a strategist to deal with the fundamental changes taking place in the airline industry. Then the Board brought in Leo Mullin and gave him free rein for 6 ½ years to turn a cash rich company into one in such poor shape financially that his successor had to turn to expensive sources of money to keep the company
The marketing strategy that was envisioned by the creation of the SIA had a focus on customer needs by providing exceptional in-flight service. This required the on board flight staff to be of excellent quality. At SIA, there was a constant emphasis on training (including social training and etiquette) and customer service. Ever since, the exceptional in-flight service has become a part of the company culture and image. All of this suggests a strong product-oriented strategy, a value strategy that Treacy and Wiersema (1993) define as product leadership. Competitive advantage came from a good product; the high profitability in the 70's was helped by low labor costs in Singapore.
The Malaysia Airline System (MAS) reported a loss of over RM1.3 billion for the Financial Year 2005. It was unacceptable to many parties such as the stakeholders and the government especially the announcement was made at the same time as some of MAS regional competitors reported strong profits in the same year.
Both companies’ changing strategic postures and organizational capabilities led to the major restructuring each company was forced to undertake as its competitive position was eroded. However, it is extremely difficult to overcome deeply set administrative heritage. Although Matsushita and Philips followed different strategies - classic "global" and "multinational" models respectively, both of them proved to have limitations.
Lenovo was originally founded as Legend Holdings in China in 1984 by a group of young Chinese engineers. The company did not show a significant amount of growth in the 1980s and the 90s. However, in the early 2000s, under the CEO, Yang Yuanqing, the company made a strategic deci-sion to change its name into “Lenovo,” with aspirations of differentiating itself from other companies named “Legend” in the overseas market.
The Singapore Airlines needs to thoroughly understand the plans being pursued by the British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Virign Atlantic in improving the comfort and quality of service it provides to its customers. The Singapore Airlines needs to continue differentiate itself by examining the strengths/weaknesses, and key points of these and other competitive airlines.
One of the characteristics of service offered by AirAsia is intangibility. Services intangibility is inevitable and sometimes could be a challenge for every service provider. According to Pride & Ferrell (2011) intangibility of services can be defined as the characteristic that the service is not physical and cannot be perceived by the senses. For instance like AirAsia which provides flight services, it is impossible for the customers to touch the flight as it is a journey to specific destinations. They might be able to touch the plane, but in the context of services, the customers do not own the physical tools or equipment used to deliver the service but are only entitled to get the service which is the flight service.
As Boeing’s CEO, Frank Shrontz promised to increase earnings and return on equity. Boeing had a history of making money when its competitors did not, but Mr. Shrontz wanted higher returns. The airline industry was characterized by large cash outflows for R&D and manufacturing and long payback periods over long life cycles for each new airframe design. Companies had to have deep pockets to keep the operation going while waiting for a return on their investments. If Mr. Shrontz could increase the return on equity for Boeing, it would increase the likelihood of Boeing’s continued success well into the future.
