...Boeing Australia Limited Executive Summary My decision is to continue on the same course that Boeing Australia Limited (BAL) is on. I feel, after reading this case study that BAL has been on the correct path with regard to building their systems architecture. There is a need for a more sophisticated procurement process and the issue of a procurement application may be easily found. The key is the process by which BAL has implemented all other IT applications, they have been very successful. They are thorough and have processes in place to rationalize whether a new by-in application or an in-house developed program would be best. My thought is that at least one, if not more; of the current systems have an appropriate off the shelf application that would work for BAL’s procurement needs. Further investigation through the Materials Management Process Council should reveal an appropriate tool for BAL to use. In this case study I will outline the reasons for my decision and some of the potential cost savings involved. Statement of Issues The main issue of this case is to buy a new e-procurement application or to continue to wait for the best case scenario application to come along. It is an important decision that affects many aspects of the business. The potential to lose a client or a critical supplier is possible during this process. An in depth analysis of the situation must be conducted prior to any move toward a process change. Initially, change is difficult in...

...Business Proposal Professional Development II Prepared by: Casey Foo Don Lin Karen Lim Kim Hong Lawrence Lim 1 Executive Summary The airline industry is not young, and if it is not because of budget airlines who revolutionized how the industry works in terms of pricing strategies and marketing, it is honestly quite boring to fly! Since the September 11 attacks, airports around the world, including Australia has stepped up security measures extensively, which adds to the ʻhecticʼ experience of air travel. This is exactly the phenomenon what our proposal, called the WonderFlight program intends to address, by bringing our customersʼ flying experience to the next level. WonderFlight aims to bring our customersʼ flying experience to the next level by introducing themes into selected domestic B737-700 flights and each theme changes every three months. To start with, the launching theme would be Lady Gaga. For each WonderFlight, our flight attendants will dress up according to the theme and perform the usual in flight services such as serving meals & beverages. Passengers may also opt to take polaroid pictures on board with our well dressed flight attendants with a charge. On top of that, a custom flight safety demonstration will also be performed by our flight attendants according to the theme to encourage our customers of their interests in the safety features of the aircraft. Famous hits of that theme will also be played on-board to generate a fun and party going atmosphere. Passengers...

...Company background The story of Malaysia Airlines started in the golden age of commercial air travel. A joint initiative of the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, the Straits Steamship of Singapore and Imperial Airways led to a proposal to the Colonial Straits Settlement government to run an air service between Penang and Singapore. The result was the incorporation of Malayan Airways Limited (MAL) on 12 October 1937. On 2 April 1947, MAL took to the skies with its first commercial flight as the national airline. Fuelled by a young and dynamic team of visionaries, the domestic carrier turned into an international airline in less than a decade. With the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the airline changed its name to Malaysian Airlines Limited. Soon after, Borneo Airways was incorporated into MAL. Within 20 years, MAL grew from a single aircraft operator into a company with 2,400 employees and a fleet operator using the then latest Comet IV jet aircraft, six F27s, eight DCs and two Pioneers. In 1965, with the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, MAL became a bi-national airline and was renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA). A new logo was introduced and the airline grew exponentially with new services to Perth, Taipei, Rome and London. However, in 1972, the partners went separate ways. Malaysia introduced Malaysian Airline Limited, which was subsequently renamed Malaysian Airline System and took to the skies on 1 October 1972. It was later branded Malaysia Airlines...

Financial Analysis The aim of financial analysis is to present and summarise information contained in the financial statements in a manner that facilitates an understanding of the activities of the firm, and ultimately, forecasting future period financial statements. 6.1 Reformatting of financial statements A major problem with general purpose financial reports is the intertwining of the operating (and investing) and financing activities of the firm. Furthermore in the accounting analysis previously undertaken (section 5) accounting practices will be identified that are considered inappropriate or that obscure actual firm performance. These issues can be addressed through the reformatting or recasting of the financial statements of the firm. A consequence of the intertwining of the operating and financial activities of the firm is that summary measures of firm performance will reflect both operating and financial activities and management decisions, with this making interpretation of such measures problematic. Accordingly, a necessary first stage of financial analysis is the separation of...

It was opened by the Indian Air Services in collaboration with the UK based Imperial Airways as an extension of London-Karachi flight of the Imperial Airways. Without any backing from the Indian Government, Tata Sons Ltd., the first Indian airline, started a regular airmail service between Karachi and Madras three years later. During the time of independence, nine air transport companies were carrying both air cargo and passengers in the Indian Territory. To further strengthen the aviation sector of India, the Indian Government and Air India (earlier Tata Airline) set up a joint sector company, Air India International in early 1948.

The company employed a business model for low-cost airlines that was originally developed by Southwest Airlines in the United States and subsequently employed with great success by European companies such as Ryanair and EasyJet. The case thus documents the successful application of a western business model in a previously unexploited Asian environment, and raises issues about knowledge transfer, and the sustainability of such a model in the face of increasing competition and market turbulence. In this way, this case raises issues of innovation, adaptation, strategy and sustainability within the Asian context. Keywords: Low-cost airlines, Budget airlines, Business model, Knowledge transfer, Innovation, Asian entrepreneurship ‘Now everyone can fly’—AirAsia had been drumming South-east Asians to take to the skies by making air travel affordable to the masses. In October 2004, AirAsia successfully attracted over USD 200 million in fresh capital through an Initial Public Offer (IPO) of its shares.1 In December 2004, it announced its decision to purchase up to eighty Airbus A320s (Defence-aerospace 2005). Arguably, AirAsia not only enabled many ordinary people to travel by air, but also stirred up competition and encouraged the formation...
