傳統航空公司、低成本航空公司與專業包機航空公司之營運策略比較分析 / The business models of airline operations:comparisons among conventional airlines、low cost carriers and charter airlines

朱曉芬, Chu,Hsiao Fen Unknown Date (has links)
低成本航空公司近年來在航空市場掀起一股風潮,某些低成本航空公司的營運績效甚至威脅到同一競爭市場中的傳統航空公司,例如美國的西南航空公司(Southwest Airlines)、馬來西亞的亞洲航空公司(Air Asia);另一方面,亦有新興的航空公司採行低成本航空之營運模式,卻於營運不到幾年後就因經營不善而必須宣告破產或倒閉,例如加拿大的祖恩(ZOOM)航空、香港的甘泉航空。到底航空公司的營運模式該採行低成本航空公司之模式較佳?維持傳統航空公司之操作方式較優?還是另有其他模式尚待開發?本文中亦將介紹現行航空公司操作方式中一塊較少為學術界及商業界討論的模式-包機航空公司,並將以上述三種經營模式進行比較。 針對傳統航空公司、低成本航空公司以及專業包機航空公司營運模式之研究方法,文中將先以鑽石理論模型之競爭因素,配合SWOT策略分析,對應航空公司之競爭條件作介紹;並針對成本領導策略、差異化策略、集中化策略對航空業不同之營運模式加以討論,希望歸納出在航空公司本身所能具備的條件之下,所應採行之較佳營運模式。 最後,將以本國航空公司現有之條件,針對其可採取的經營策略加以建議,以期台灣的航空產業,除了在兩岸定期航班即將開展所帶來的商機之外,亦能因採行正確的營運模式,在未來的航空產業發展中持續蓬勃興盛。 / Low-cost carrier in recent years in the aviation market set off a wave. Some low-cost airlines even threat the conventional airlines in the market, such as Southwest Airlines in the United States, Air Asia in Malaysia. On the other hand, some low-cost carriers went bankruptcy due to poor management, such as Zoom Airlines in Canada, and Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. A natural question arises: which type of business model, low-cost carrier, conventional carrier or chartered carrier, should airline operations adopt, low-cost carrier? This study applies Porter's (1990) ``Diamond`` analysis, together with SWOT analysis, to the aforementioned question. The research identifies the corresponding competitive conditions and strategies for each business model. This gives important implications for the aviation business in Taiwan.

Binary classification for predicting propensity to buy flight tickets. : A study on whether binary classification can be used to predict Scandinavian Airlines customers’ propensity to buy a flight ticket within the next seven days. / Svensk titel: Binär klassificering applicerat på att prediktera benägenhet att köpa flygbiljetter.

Andersson, Martin, Mazouch, Marcus January 2019 (has links)
A customers propensity to buy a certain product is a widely researched field and is applied in multiple industries. In this thesis it is showed that using binary classification on data from Scandinavian Airlines can predict their customers propensity to book a flight within the next coming seven days. A comparison between logistic regression and support vector machine is presented and logistic regression with reduced number of variables is chosen as the final model, due to it’s simplicity and accuracy. The explanatory variables contains exclusively booking history, whilst customer demographics and search history is showed to be insignificant. / En kunds benägenhet att göra ett visst köp är ett allmänt undersökt område som applicerats i flera olika branscher. I den här studien visas det att statistiska binära klassificeringsmodeller kan användas för att prediktera Scandinavian Airlines kunders benägenhet att köpa en resa de kommande sju dagarna. En jämförelse är presenterad mellan logistisk regression och stödvektormaskin och logistisk regression med reducerat antal parametrar väljs som den slutgiltiga modellen tack vare sin enkelhet och träffsäkerhet. De förklarande variablerna är uteslutande bokningshistorik medan kundens demografi och sökdata visas vara insignifikant.

The validation of a psychological assessment battery for the selection of customer service agents in a South African commercial airline company

Davis, Ryan Jonathan 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the research was to determine whether measures of ability, personality and behaviour would significantly predict job performance of customer service agents in a South African commercial airline company. The Verbal Interpretation Test (VCC1), Numerical Reasoning Test (NP6.1), Basic Checking Test (CP7.1C), Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32) and a competency based interview were completed by job applicants. Customer Contact Competency (CCC) scores and a Person Job Match (PJM) score were derived from the OPQ32 and ability measures to ensure job relevance during selection assessment. Job performance statistics in the form of training scores and supervisor ratings (from performance appraisals and criterion questionnaires) were obtained for the sample as criterion data. Correlations revealed statistically significant small to moderate correlations between the predictors and the criterion data / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Com.

De traditionella flygbolagens överlevnad på den skandinaviska marknaden : en studie om SAS Sverige

Henriksson, Susanna, Fränneby, Charlotte January 2008 (has links)
<p>The traditional airlines exist on a market that is distinguished by an increasing competition. They are often partly or completely owned by the government and are characterized by slow decision making. Because of their existing structure and old business culture the traditional airlines find it hard to use price as a means of competition. Consequently the traditional airlines need to create loyalty amongst their customers. The purpose of this essay was to analyze and evaluate SAS long-term marketing strategies through a comparative study of the companies’ management, employees and customers. To shed light on the problem a gap analysis has been performed on SAS Swedens management, emloyees and customers. The theoretical part of the study takes into account customer value, organization and loyalty.</p><p>The result shows that the gap between SAS management and customers was relatively small due to the management’s knowledge and insight in respect to customer expectations. On the other hand the gap between SAS management and employees was much larger. The internal communication within SAS is today insufficient which can lead to major problems. To create customer loyalty SAS has to concentrate on their internal problems and focus on their employees. In this way the employees will mediate customers expectations so that SAS profile and image will correspond with customers expectations. SAS needs to have a strong business concept and a vision that all employees should try to achieve, which they do not have today. The conclusion is that SAS will find it hard to survive on a long term basis with the conditions and structure they have today.</p><p>Suggestions for additional research would be to study other effects made by the incorporation of SAS as well as to study factors that are important for creating good internal communication within the SAS group.</p> / <p>De traditionella flygbolagen verkar på en marknad som kännetecknas av en ökad konkurrens. De är ofta delvis eller helt statligt ägda och präglas av tröga beslutsprocesser. På grund av sin befintliga struktur och gamla affärskultur har de svårt att konkurrera med priset som konkurrensmedel och måste därför fokusera på att skapa kundlojalitet.</p><p>Uppsatsens syfte var att analysera och utvärdera SAS långsiktiga marknadsföringsstrategier genom en jämförande studie av företagets ledning, anställda samt kunder. För att belysa problemet har en gapanalys genomförts på SAS Sveriges ledning, anställda och kunder. Studiens teoridel är baserad på teorier om mervärdeskapande, organisation och lojalitet.</p><p>Resultatet visar att gapet mellan SAS ledning och kunder var relativt litet då ledningen har kunskap och insikt om kundernas förväntningar på SAS tjänster. Gapet mellan SAS ledning och de anställda var däremot mycket större. Den interna kommunikationen inom SAS är idag bristande vilket är ett stort problem. För att SAS skall ha en möjlighet att skapa kundlojalitet måste de börja internt och fokusera på de anställda, så att de levererar vad kunderna förväntar sig. Detta i sin tur bidrar till att SAS profil och image överensstämmer. SAS måste ha en stark affärsidé och vision som alla anställda strävar efter, vilket de inte har idag. Studiens slutsats är att SAS har svårt att långsiktigt överleva med de förutsättningar och den struktur de har idag.</p><p>Som förslag på vidare forsknings gavs att studera ytterligare effekter av SAS bolagisering, samt att studera faktorer som är viktiga för att skapa en bra intern kommunikation inom hela SAS koncernen.</p>

Essays on the Relationship of Competition and Firms' Price Responses

Lee, Sungbok 2010 December 1900 (has links)
This dissertation investigates the relationship of competition and firms' price responses, by analyzing: i) whether new entry reduces price discrimination, ii) when incumbents reduce price discrimination preemptively in response to the threat of entry, and iii) how competition increases prices. The dissertation consists of three independent essays addressing each of the above questions. The first two essays present an empirical analysis of the airline industry and the third essay presents a theoretical analysis of the credit card industry. In the empirical study of the relationship between competition and firms' pricing in the airline industry, I emphasize the importance of distinguishing the equilibrium behaviors with respect to different market characteristics. Major airlines can price discriminate differently in a market where they compete with low-cost carriers comparing to in another market where they don't, and also they can respond dfferently to the threat of entry depending on whether they are certain about the rival's future entry. The study reveals that competition has a positive effect on price discrimination in the routes where major airlines compete against one anther. In these routes, competition reduces lower-end prices to a greater extent than upper-end prices. In contrast, an entry by low-cost carriers results in a significant negative relationship between competition and price discrimination. Thus, the opposite results in the literature are both evident in the airline industry, and it is very important to identify the different forces of competition on price discrimination. Firms can respond to potential competition as well as actual competition. So, I extend the study to the relationship of potential competition and price discrimination, specially in cases where major airlines compete against one another while facing Southwest's threat of entry. I also attempt to suggest major airlines' motives of reducing price discrimination preemptively. The results of the study suggest that incumbents reduce price dispersion when it is possible to deter the rival's entry and that the potential rival discourages incumbents from deterring entry by announcing before its beginning service. Finally, I examine when competition can increase prices in a market, by analyzing the issuing side of the credit card industry. This industry is characterized by a two-sided market with a platform. Under the no-surcharge rule that restricts merchants to set the same price for cash and card purchases, the equilibrium interchange fee increases with competition. This occurs because issuers can compensate losses from competing on the issuing side by collectively increasing the interchange fee. As a result, limiting competition may improve social welfare when the interchange fee is higher than the social optimal level. In contrast, in the absence of the no-surcharge rule, the analysis shows that competition always improves social welfare by lowering the price of the market.

來源國,廣告訴求,文化價值觀:航空公司廣告在台灣的內容分析法研究 / Examining the Relationship between Country of Origin, Appeals, and Cultural Values in Advertising: A Content Analysis Study of Airline Ads in Taiwan

古楷婷, Gulenok, Kateryna Unknown Date (has links)
Abstract The current study is a content analysis of airlines’ printed ads, exploring an intersection of country-of-origin (COO), advertising appeals (rational and emotional), and cultural values (Eastern or Western). The study focuses on airlines advertising to understand the role of COO and its interaction with ad appeals and cultural values. The goal of the study is to explore the ways in which airlines or service businesses (selling intangible products) communicate with consumers about the values and meanings in their advertising, especially since the market for travel services is growing and the airline industry is facing drastic competition. The statistical analysis showed clear consistent patterns in the use of COO and other advertising appeals: the ads that used COO are more likely to use emotional appeals and express more Eastern values. Adding to our understanding about the branding of airlines, the findings are in line with the literature that claimed emphasis on emotional aspects for service advertisements. Implications for practitioners are also discussed.

台灣企業公司治理特性分析-以航空業為例 / The analysis of corporate governance for Taiwan comany-the case of Airlines industry.

郭富樹, Kuo, Fu Shu Unknown Date (has links)
摘 要 公司治理係指公司在所有權與經營權分離後,建立一個解決代理問題的機制,以監控其委託經營公司之專業經理人,避免其逾權及維護股東的權益。Berle與Means(1932)提出公司「經營權」與「所有權」之概念後,兩權分離已逐漸成為現代企業經營之特性。當公司之經營規模日漸擴大與專業化,公司所有者未必有時間與能力經營其所屬的企業,因而導致專業經理人的產生。惟當公司所有者與專業經理人之間存有資訊不對稱與目標不一致的情境下,即會產生「代理問題」。 近年來,世界各國陸續爆發企業經營管理危機,為尋求有效解決之道,公司治理之觀念在全世界快速發展。各主要國際組織,無不大力倡導公司治理之重要性。世界各國政府對於公司治理的高度重視,亦使得改革公司治理的重要性逐漸提高,同時認為公司治理制度健全與否,是一個健全與維持成功金融市場的關鍵要素。 公司治理促使公司資訊公開透明化,進而解決資訊不對稱的代理問題,讓投資者更有信心把資金投入市場,有助於健全金融市場。國際上知名的投資機構將推行公司治理列為選股之重點指標,各國政府紛紛鼓勵其國內企業積極推動公司治理以吸引國際投資者。依據2000年6月麥肯錫企管顧問公司(McKinsey & Company)對全球投資人所做的研究報告指出,有四分之一投資人認為一個有良好公司治理的公司可以為該公司的股票創造約20%以上之公司治理之超額溢價。 2008年國際原油價格飆漲,航空業的營業成本遽增,加諸美國信貸危機,導致全球經濟不景氣,使航空業的生存面臨嚴峻挑戰。航空業為各國政府管制性的行業,競爭者要進入航空市場有其障礙。航空業所面臨的風險項目繁雜,每一項風險均可能對航空公司的營運造成嚴重衝擊,需要透過有效的管理制度才能將影響企業經營的損失程度降至最小,以期達成企業永續經營的目標。 本研究之個案公司為台灣第一家上市的國籍航空公司,其大股東為財團法人,全體董事、監察人皆為同一法人代表,為一特殊案例,具有學術研究價值。本研究藉由探討個案公司實務上所面臨的公司治理問題,並與市場主要競爭者加以比較,以驗證文獻上之觀點。本研究結果與理論相符合,有助於解決個案公司之公司治理問題,及提供航空業界參考。 關鍵詞:公司治理、代理問題、航空業、風險、永續經營、大股東。 / After the impact of the Asia 1997 financial crisis ,almost the worldwide government requires the enterprises to emphasize corporate governance.Starting from the end of year 2001,the successive scandle of Enron,WorldCom,Tyco,Merck,and other USA companies leads to the material loss of investors.Because of the reason of careless corporate governance,USA government have passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002 to enhance the corporate governance of the enterprise and strengthen the capital market. According to one research by Mckinsey & Company in June 2000,there are about 25% of global investors who are willing to pay 20% premium money to buy those stocks belong to companies have better corporate governance. Owing to the peak price of oil and the dump of global ecomonic during the year 2008,the airlines must increases the cost of operation and faces the tough challenge of the market. Airlines industry is one of strict industries to the local government in the world, and the competitor have the obstacle to enter into the market. Due to get the target of continuing operation, airlines have to face and predict the miscellaneous risk for controlling and minimizing the loss. This paper probes into the problem of corporate governance for the case company. The author presents a case study of domestical airlines and addresses the importance of corporate governance. The results could provide insigts and helpful suggestions to the promotion of the corporate governance for the case company and Taiwan airlines industry. Key Words:Corporate governance, Airlines industry, Risk, Continuing operation, Controlling shareholders.
