sustainable analysis of Ryanair case study

Topic:

Ryanair, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, was the first of the European budget airlines, being modelled on the US carrier Southwest Airlines, and has enjoyed tremendous success under its current CEO, Michael O’Leary. It has kept to the short haul sector of the European market since its deregulation in 1997, with limited routes to North Africa, and with its low cost business model has created a sector for other competitors to enter. In October 2006, as part of a strategic review, Ryanair launched a bid for Aer Lingus, another Irish airline. However, industry regulation kept them from succeeding, although they retained their share until Aer Lingus was taken over by IAG in 2015.
Whilst the sector has become more competitive, Ryanair has continued to generate profits, more recently through a more focussed approach to customer service and extending into the business traveller sector. However, a strategy of market penetration has its limits, and Ryanair may need to secure new revenue streams for the future.
Using the associated case study, you are invited to assess whether their strategy in the short haul sector is sustainable, and where future growth may come from.

FINAL PAPER. PHILOSOPHY 101.

Yu Tsun, a Chinese professor of English literature, resides in England during World War I. He is secretly a German spy. Expecting to be captured and killed, he resolves to transmit to Berlin a crucial piece of intelligence. To do this, he must first murder a stranger, an innocent civilian named Albert.

At this point in Borges’ story, there occurs an amazing coincidence. Albert turns out to be a specialist in Chinese culture. He loves the same things Yu Tsun loves. Further, Albert has devoted many years to studying Yu Tsun’s great ancestor, Tsui Pen. He has discovered Tsui Pen’s secret, which involves the identity of a novel and and a labyrinth.

Your paper will be devoted to concidence. There were millions of people in England at that time but — by coincidence — the one Yu Tsun must kill is the only person alive who could disclose Tsui Pen’s secret: the secret of the Ancestor. Your paper will be divided into three parts. Begin each part with the title in capitals below. Feel free to introduce your own ideas about “coincidence,” with examples from your experience or that of friends.

PART ONE. COINCIDENCE IN “THE GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS”

Do you think “amazing coincidences” like the one in our story ever really happen? Suppose they do. How might the story help us explain them? What sort of universe would they occur in? Read the story carefully and look for clues. You may (but need not) consider the lines about “everything happening now… to me”; about time and its forking paths (Tsui Pen’s philosophy); about “the riddle whose answer is chess.” Other bits of the story might also shed light on the question. Choose and focus as you like.

PART TWO. PLATO

How might Plato help us understand “amazing coincidence.” You may (but need not) consider the discussion of nous, “Mind” or “Intelligence,” in the 6th argument of the Phaedo, as well as patterns in Socrates’ life.

PART THREE. DESCARTES

How might Descartes’ Meditations help us understand “amazing coincidences”? If you like, suppose the final truth — the highest, most ultimate truth — is to be found in the first Meditation, or in the second, or in the third.

You have a two-fold aim. I would welcome insight into “coincidence.” I would also welcome insights into Borges, Plato, and Descartes. (If you wish, you may substitute for Descartes another philosopher we have studied, or will study, this semester— Augustine, Al-Ghazali, Nietzsche, Camus, etc.)

Write clearly. You may consult with others about writing issues, but please do you own thinking. Footnote secondary sources, if you wish to use them (you don’t need to). BE SURE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOVE; DON’T SLIP INTO MERE SUMMARIES OF THE MATERIAL.

Your paper should be roughly three pages.

Phase 5 Inidvidual portion to group project

In this assignment, your group will develop a presentation to be given to the project sponsor. The presentation will be developed and presented by each individual in the group; however, it must have a consistent look and feel. The group will need to work together to define the project’s parameters because the plan’s components relate to one another, and the members will need to work together to ensure that there is no redundancy or gaps in the presentation. The information must flow together as if one project manager created all of it.

Project Plan (to be developed by entire group)
Provide an introduction to the project. Develop the project charter, and identify the project sponsor and customer. Describe the components of the project plan, how it will be used throughout the project, and its benefit to the sponsor

Project Scope (to be developed by entire group)
Discuss and come to a consensus on the scope of the project, including the major deliverables and the items that are not part of the scope. Using your knowledge of a packaged system upgrade, describe the interim deliverables that will be created as part of the development process. Discuss how the scope will be approved and how changes to the scope will be documented, reviewed, and approved. Use the Small Group Discussion Board.

Project Human Resource (to be developed by individual)
Describe the roles and responsibilities that need to be filled on the project. Give a rationale for the staff for the project, assign roles, and describe staff involvement with each major deliverable. Decide if you will use vendors to supplement the team, and ascertain their roles and responsibilities as well as your rationale for making the decision. Describe how staffing changes will be identified, escalated, and resolved.

Project Schedule (to be developed by individual)
Use a work breakdown structure or similar tool to explain the major activities that will be completed as part of the project. Describe the major milestones for the project. For each milestone, identify the associated deliverable, the approximate effort involved in creating the deliverable, and the people involved. For 2 of the milestones, detail the activities to be completed to achieve the milestone. Be sure to address dependencies, duration, and resource effort. Describe how changes to the schedule will be identified, escalated, and resolved.

Project Budget (to be developed by individual)
Describe the budgeting process that will be used for the project. Identify the components of the budget, the items that will need to have costs associated with them, and the mechanisms that could be used to estimate the project. Describe how changes to the budget will be identified, escalated, and resolved.

Project Risks (to be developed by individual)
Describe the possible risk events for the project. Identify the high-probability, high-impact risk events. For each of those risk events, identify the possible actions to mitigate the risk. Describe how changes to the risk management plan will be identified, reviewed, and approved.

Project Communication (to be developed by individual)
Describe the system that will be used throughout the project for recording and sharing project information related to schedule, budget, utilization, and status components. Describe the tools and techniques you will use to capture and report metrics. Describe the frequency with which the metrics will be captured and how the resulting analysis will be applied and communicated.

Project Stakeholders (to be developed by individual)
Describe how stakeholders were identified and analyzed, what tools and techniques were used to categorize and understand stakeholder interests. Describe your stakeholders, who they are and what their interests are in the outcome of the project. Describe the strategies planned to manage stakeholder engagement.

This task will be completed as a true group project. The groups will consolidate the individual responses into a single presentation. It will be determined by the members of the group whether the group will have a single member do each section or merge the responses of each member for the 5 areas of interest listed above.

Assignment Guidelines:
My individual portion is to do project stakeholders and each slide needs between 150-200 speaker notes . Please make sure the slides have between 150-200 speaker notes. Thanks.

Compare and contrast pre-war and post-war experiences.

  1. Unit III Scholarly Activity

    THIS JUST IN: You work for a national radio broadcasting company and it is your job to create the typed broadcast for the evening news, recapping the experiences of Americans from before WWI all the way to their experiences after the war. For your story to be valid and accepted by a wide audience, it must include the home front experiences of many groups and cover the topics below. You are to choose only one of the two options below to complete for this assignment to highlight all seven key points below.

  •   Examine the experiences of the local populations and varied demographics, including African Americans, women, and lower classes.
  •   What changed because of the movement from isolationism to expansionism?
  •   Assess the relevance of people’s concerns about the war’s impact on the international community.
  •   Assess the war’s economic impact, including the expansion of factories (big business) due to wartime production.
  •   Compare and contrast pre-war and post-war experiences.
  •   Include at least three key domestic figures and at least three key international figures.
  •   Include how the United States in the post-war era is positioned to become a superpower.

    Option 1

    With any good news story, you must utilize multiple sources. Your story must be a minimum of two pages. A minimum of two reputable sources must be used, cited, and referenced, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. This means you will need to find at least one additional source on your own. Inappropriate resources or failure to use resources available in the CSU Online Library can lead to deductions (and loss of your news audience).

    Option 2

    If you have ever dreamed of broadcasting on the radio, this is your chance! If you choose this option, you will be able to record your broadcast. There are many options available to make your audio recording. A few options are listed below.

HY 1120, American History II 3

 

You may also video record your broadcast using your webcam and upload the file to YouTube. You may also search for other programs or ways to make your recording to upload.

The following list will guide you as you prepare your speech:

  •   Read the grading rubric that follows these instructions. If you need clarification on any of the grading elements, please contact your professor.
  •   Your broadcast recording must be no less than five minutes and no more than eight minutes. Speaking outside these time limits will result in a grade penalty of 10 points.
  •   Plan everything out and be sure to practice your broadcast before recording it.
  •   When you have recorded your broadcast, play it back. Ensure that your voice is audible, that you are clearly in the

    center of the screen, and that your facial expressions and body language are easily seen.

  •   You will submit an outline of your broadcast in bulleted form, which should be at least 200 words in length. Your

    outline does not need to be in essay form; rather, it should include the highlights of your speech along with some

    expansion to each bulleted item to provide details and clarity when necessary.

  •   You are required to use a minimum of two reputable sources, which must be cited and referenced, only one of

    which can be an assigned or provided text or source.

  •   You must upload your outline file at the same time that you upload/submit your broadcast file or hyperlink. Note: You may be uploading multiple files for submission of this assignment.

    Direct any questions to your professor prior to beginning the assignment. CSU librarians are also available should you need assistance with your research for this assignment.

Explain what the data set is and why each of the variables you selected are qualitative or quantitative and identify the level of measurement for those variables and if they are continuous or discrete.

Discussion Best Practices

The Discussion is a great place to learn in an interactive environment, so be sure to participate actively in the weekly Discussion. By doing so, the entire class benefits from the Discussion and learning is significantly enhanced. You will need to respond substantially to at least two of your classmate’s posts. Please try to make your initial posts no later than Sunday night to give your classmates an opportunity to respond. You should also post throughout the week so that you can respond to any responses your classmates have made to your posts as well as participate in the Discussion. Be sure your post is grammatically correct, has been spell checked, and fully answers the question.

Download the Discussion Board Data Sets zip file to your computer. If you are not sure how to do this watch the following video ( Downloading_Data_Sets.html). You should then select a data set (you may need to use more than one data set to complete the discussion). From the data set(s) you have selected identify a qualitative and quantitative variable. If you need to use two data sets to have both a qualitative and quantitative variable, that is okay. Explain what the data set is and why each of the variables you selected are qualitative or quantitative and identify the level of measurement for those variables and if they are continuous or discrete. Select one of your variables and create an appropriate graphical representation of those data. You will NOT be able to copy and paste a graph into the Discussion Board, so you should copy your graph to a Word Document and attach it to your response post.
