...Strategic Analysis Report Flux Consulting – Airline Division Queensland University of Technology MGB309 – Strategic Management Pei San Chew – 0 8000492 Tutor: Christophe Garonne (Tutorial 8) Word Count: 2160 1.0 Executive Summary The air transportation industry within Australia is highly competitive. However, there is solid evidence and a strong indication that Virgin Australia can seize power over the current market and outrun its competitors for its long-term survival. Virgin Australia should optimise opportunities and remain competitive by either strengthening its alliance with SIA or outsourcing to a specialist company in ground handling. The key challenge for the company is to create strategies that ensures effectiveness. The strategies will draw upon previous internal and external analysis conducted and focus on developing strategic alliances and strategic outsourcing. This report analyses the benefits and limitations of these potential strategies and provides practical recommendations to ensure long-term strategic sustainability. The results of the evaluation between the two strategies illustrate that the first strategy is more appropriate for Virgin to be sustainable in the long-term. There are several advantages that Virgin possesses which includes its strategic alliance’s strong position in the Asian market, and its ability to integrate newly planned flight routes. This means that Virgin is able to benefit from the strengths of its alliance. Moreover...

...making enterprise, Kingfisher has now been recorded as a non performing asset (NPA). Kingfisher entered its worst ever crisis since October last year - By early 2012, the crisis had got so bad that the airline accumulated total losses of over $ 1.27 billion. Moreover, the market share of Kingfisher airlines in the Indian aviation sector fell drastically – while it boasted of having the second largest market share in October last year, its market share has now fallen to the lowest of any Indian airline in April. To make things worse, the airline has had to cut the number of its flights to about 120 a day, down from about 340 daily flights. (Hatif T, 2012; Parija P, 2012 ). There were a large number of flight cancellations too. In addition, in May 2012, the Indian aviation director even threatened Kingfisher that it would lose its flying slots if it did not pay the income tax of Rs 269.06 immediately.

...describe the steps of the planned change process a) Recognize the need for change. The top management level recognized the need of a change. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) was created by a California state law in October 2001. In this case, the change was motivated for the need to be seen differently in the marketplace. b) Develop the goals of the change. It was necessary to determine the importance of the change. Two broad but interdependent categories of initial activity emerged: developing the transition plan and dealing with the legal and regulatory issues. Both problems and improvement chances were evaluated and made. The group lead by Thella Bowens understood the importance of SDCRAA quickly becoming a standalone agency and recommended revising the existing strategic plan, to hire staff to research, discuss, and create a transition plan, and to conduct retreats with employees from multiple organization levels. c) Select a change agent. The change agent is the person who takes leadership responsibility to implement planned change. Thella Bowens was the senior director of the Aviation Division within the Port of San Diego International Airport that was responsible for operating the change. She was well positioned to lead this effort and she took the senior team from the old Aviation Division to an off-site workshop to discuss the creation and management of an effective transition process. Later, the Senior team member Angela Shafer-Payne, then...

Globalization of the social economy will further increase during the 21st century. The mission of international air transportation will become more important, and all airports around the world will have a significant role to play.
