In some cases the questions require numerical answers and in other cases a brief discussion is required. For the numerical questions you should show the reasoning or calculations that led to your answer and you should be careful to specify any relevant assumptions you have made in deriving the solution. Where discussion or commentary is asked for, you should not exceed the indicated word limit. The marks awarded will also take account of the quality and clarity of presentation. The weighting attached to each section is shown by the allocation of the maximum marks indicated for each question. PROBLEM 1: Pricing and Production in a Symmetric Duopoly (20 Marks in total) Consider an industry comprising two firms (firm 1 and firm 2) that can for all practical purposes be considered identical. The firms compete to sell an identical product and they can each produce additional units of output at a constant marginal cost of $20 per unit. For each firm fixed costs are zero. The two firms have full knowledge about market demand conditions. The firms know that the market demand curve is a linear demand curve of the form P = a − b Q and they calculate that demand would be zero at a market price of $80 or more and that every $1 reduction in price below that level would cause demand to rise by 3 units. In...

...British Airways Case Leading Organizational Change British Airways Case Introduction British Airways (BA) was created in 1979 by public law allowing the “British Airways Board to assume control of two state-run airlines, British European Airways (BEA), and British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) under the name British Airways” (Jick & Peiperl, 2006, p 26). Many problems arose from the combination of the two companies. Structures, culture, and systems had to be combined and improved to help BA become a viable company and prepare itself for the move from a government owned entity to a privatized corporation. Problems Macro The two airlines served different markets and were run as services rather than as businesses. Efficiency and customer service were not part of the organizational structures or design. Each had its own hierarchy of personnel who functioned independently of the other group. Leadership style was heavily task centered rather than service centered. Much of this can be attributed to the history of the companies and their creation following World War 2. At the time of inception, each company was tasked with making commercial airline travel possible by creating the airline infrastructure, designing routes, and proving commercial travel a viable means of transportation for the public. As a government run institution, layers of bureaucracy separated most employees from the idea that they were serving the public interest and should keep quality...

...income he had lost. Crompton J held that Lumley could claim damages from Gye. He said that though according to the general law is there is no action, by then it was clear that a claim lay for wrongfully and maliciously enticing a person to break their contract with another. • The tort of intimidation in Rookes v. Barnard (1964) 1 All ER 367: Douglas Rookes was a draughtsman and he was employed by British Overseas Airways Corporation. He had resigned from his union, the Association of Engineering and Shipbuilding Draughtsman, after a disagreement. BOAC and AESD had a closed shop agreement, and AESD threatened a strike unless Rookes resigned also from his job. BOAC suspended Rookes after some months, dismissed him with one week's salary in lieu of proper notice. Rookes sued the union officials, also Mr Barnard, the branch chairman. According to Rookes he has been the victim of a tortious intimidation that had used unlawful means to induce BOAC to terminate his contract. The strike was alleged to be the unlawful means. The House of Lords reversed the court of appeal, which was in favour of Rookes and against the union. It was unlawful intimidation 'to use a threat and to break their contracts with their employer as a weapon to make him do something which he was legally entitled to do but which they knew would cause loss to the plaintiff.' • The tort of strict liability had its origin in Rylands v. Fletcher (1868) LR 3 HL 330: Early English common law in many a time, imposed liability...

...BACKGROUND British Airways was founded in 1974 as a result of the merger of the then British Overseas Airways Corporation (B.O.A.C.) and British European Airways (BEA). Prior to the merger, the former operated on international routes while the latter focused on continental Europe. Rather than enhancing good services and operation, the merger brought about a variety of problems resulting from cultural factors. There existed some sort of discriminations between the two groups as the people of BOAC saw themselves as the Gentleman’s Airline and BEA as a trade man’s Airline. BEA on the other hand the saw themselves as the ideal competitors and the BOAC as just a bunch of snobs. They therefore acted independently, such that the only common factor between them was inefficiency. Consequently, the management became highly inward focused with decisions made in isolation, lacked accountability, had little focus on profitability, slow in its operation, lacked sensibility, was eluded from flexibility, communication and initiative. It was indeed a hierarchical organization and consequently operated a tall organizational chart. By 1980 the problem of B.A. had reached its peak such that the airline was being tagged “Bloody Awful” as it was soon voted as the airline to be avoided at all cost. In 1981, Lord King whose mandate was to restructure B.A., make it profitable and prepare it for privatization was appointed as the chairman of the company. As soon as he discovered the inner politics...

...under the same name until 1935. In 1939 British Airways was nationalized to form the name British Overseas Airways (BOAC) . Nature of Business British Airways is the founding member of the One World alliance along with other airlines such as American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Canadian Airlines. The alliance is now the third-largest after SkyTeam and Star Alliance. On January 21, 2011 British Airways merged with Iberia Airlines to form the International Airline Group (IAG) which is the world third-largest airline group in terms of their annual revenue. IAG combines the leading airlines in United Kingdom and Spain which enables them to enhance their presence in the airline industry while retaining their brand and current operations British Airways has four subsidiaries which include Open Skies, British Airways Cargo, City Skies, and BA CityFlyer. Open Skies was first purchased for $108 million by the French Airline L'avion. It is currently located in France and operates from Paris to New York. City Flyer operates a network of European flights from London. British Airways has been operational since 1919 over the years it has merged with British Airways Corp.

...themselves or lose it all. b. This only takes one word. CULTURE. It was a complete culture clash come 1981. The consequences of culture become apparent in cross national operations, mergers, and acquisitions, where not only different organizational cultures but also organizational cultures rooted in different national cultures meet. When organizational members from diverse cultures interact and, especially, when one culture is required to adopt the methods and practices of the other culture, disruptive tensions emerge. II. Causes – Well, these differences in the culture, I believe caused costly result from the differences of the personnel. The employees of BEA described the BOAC staff as somewhat distant, and ill-equipped with their knowledge of the competitive airline industries. On the other hand, BOAC were snobbish with the staff of BEA. They thought flights to the European mainland were for tradesmen, while long haul air travel were for the upper-class gentlemen. The opposing ideas and beliefs of each of the employee was the cause of the problems encountered by British Airways after the merging. III. Organizational Systems...

...3 Ratio Analysis Page. 4 - 13 Conclusion Page. 14 Introduction British Airways plc or BA is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom. BA has its headquarters in Waterside near its main hub at London Heathrow Airport and is the largest airline in the UK based on fleet size, international flights and international destinations. Its second hub is London Gatwick Airport. British Airways has discontinued all direct overseas flights from UK airports other than Heathrow, Gatwick and London City Airport. BA's UK passengers originating at non-London airports must now connect via London or use other airlines with direct services. History British Airways (BA) was created in 1972, when the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and British European Airways Corporation (BEA) managements were combined under the newly formed British Airways Board. This effectively made British Airways into the national airline for the United Kingdom and due to the lack of competition; the new company began to exert its position and significance. BA was one of only two airlines to operate the supersonic Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde; inaugurating the world's first supersonic passenger service in January 1976. The final commercial Concorde flight from New York to London was on 24 October 2003.

...British Airways” (Jick & Peiperl, 2011, pp. 24-36). Another problem was privatization. According to the text, April of 1984 the government passed legislation that made British Airways a public limited company. Lastly, a problem would have to be the customer service. There was poor customer service that led to reduced numbers in passengers. “The problems became dangerous when Britain’s worst recession in fifty years reduced passenger numbers and raised fuel costs substantially” (Jick & Peiperl, 2011, pp. 24-36). b. Micro- The change in culture was a huge problem for British Airways. “A lack of economies of scale and strong residual loyalties upon the merger further complicated the historical disregard for efficiency by BEA and BOAC” (Jick & Peiperl, 2011, pp. 24-36). In order to have an immediate and effective change in a company there must be training around the new designed mission and values. This company had a hard time when it came to giving recognition to their employees and their works. The company lacked communication in general whether good or bad. It just seemed that everyone in the company was working for themselves and had no gratitude for the person beside them. II. Causes- The merge brought in two companies together with very different cultures. The leadership did not go hand in hand on decisions. “There wasn’t enough management time devoted to managing the changing environment because it was all focused inwardly on resolving industrial...
