...Importance of environmental analysis Introduction No single organization can exist in a vacuum. For a successful business operation, an organisation needs to interact with various other actors and players around it. These may range from political institutions to other business and financial institutions. These institutions are called environment of an organisation. In this assignment, we would try to illustrate the importance of environmental analysis for a business organisation. The conceptualisation of environment holds the central position in this discussion. Thompson uses the term ‘operating or task environment, or inner layer’ for immediate or internal environment (Thompson, 1997). It relates to that domain where staff from one organisation interacts with people from others in their day to day business relationships (Douglas Brownlie, 1994b). Brownlie employs the term ‘remote or general environment, or outer layer’ for external or macro environment (Douglas Brownlie, 1994b). This refers to those factors which are outside of company’s direct control but have significant direct and indirect influence on company’s operations. For a company to be successful, it needs to be fully aware of its environment as it allows an organisation to respond to the needs and requirements in its environment. ‘Whilst organisational decision makers may wish to believe that they are the masters/mistresses of their organisation’s destinies, in reality that destiny is shaped by governments, customers...

...Company Background and analysis of AirAsia This report conducts an analysis of AirAsia, the world’s Lowest Cost Airline. AirAsia is a Malaysian low cost airline. AirAsia was found in 1993 and it started its operations from 18 Nov 1996. It was established initially by DRB-Hicom, a government owned- conglomerate. On 2 December 2001, the heavily- indebted airline was purchased Tony Fernandes former Time Warner Executive. Tony was inspired by the Low-Cost Carrier business model of Southwest Airlines and proposed to start a Low-Cost Carrier but the government refused to issue a new license and requested Tony to buy an existing airline. Hence Tune Air set up by Tony and his investors bought Air Asia for a token sum of RM1. Before 2001. AirAsia failed to attract enough passengers from Malaysia Airline to establish its own stand in the market. The turning point for AirAsia was in 2001 subsequent to its purchase by Tony Fernandes. Tony Fernandes enrolled low-cost airline experts to restructure the business model of AirAsia. He invited Connor McCarthy, formerly the director of the group operation Ryanair, to join his executive team. In the late 2001, AirAsia airline was re-launched in Malaysia as trendy, no-frills operation with three B737 aircraft as a lowfare, low-cost domestic airline. AirAsia’s simple slogan “Now Everyone Can Fly” has won the heart of customer’s. AirAsia’s profit for the second quarter (i.e.,ending 31 december 2004) was reported RM 44.4 million, which is a 323 %...

Situational analysis 1.1 Company and product background 1.1.1 Company introduction As one of the leading major communication services providers in Asia covering fixed line, mobile, data, internet and TV, SingTel is still the largest telecommunication company in Singapore though the advantage over the other competitors has been continuously decreased by the hyper competition in the industry. With 8% growth in term of revenue in Singapore, this growth even didn’t match the consolidated revenue growth of 13% suggesting that the home market did not provide enough the momentum for the growth. But still as the figure below show, Singapore is still one of the major stable markets that provide large sum of revenue and cash inflow to the company as there is risks in the investment in other regional mobile markets such as India. So it would be of strategically importance to seize the opportunity provided by the new fiber network and continue to develop the Singapore market.
