On Thursday December 31, 2015 at approximately 1949 hours, FHEO Security Officers were dispatched to room #503 Beds 1 and 2 for two Disorderly Male Baker Act Patients who were acting up and causing problems for their assigned Psych Sitter, including one patient from Bed 1 who kept trying to leave the room. Security Officers Omar Alonso, Carlos Ayuso, and James Johnson arrived and met with Nurse Celia Baggya and Psych Sitter Andell Philip while Security Supervisor Steven Evans arrived later and met with Charge Nurse Charlene McGee. Nurse Baggya and Sitter Philip both stated that the patient in Bed #1, Benjamin Atsu (DOB: 01/23/1991; FIN# 85028628) became aggressive towards medical staff and was also trying to provoke the patient in Bed#2 who was Armando Montalvo (DOB: 08/15/1986; FIN #85028608). Security staff stood by the room and observed both patients until Nurse Baggya came back with some sedative medications to be administered to both patients in an effort to keep them calm and cooperative.…
Southeastern Jet Airways (SEJA) philosophy and vision is very simple: to be a client-focused company. Armed with this philosophy, the team developed a strategy to guide and take SEJA beyond the next level and well into the future. SEJA’s vision which is to ensure that the organization remains an affordable transportation company, continues to build, remains strong to maintain customer loyalty by providing excellent customer service, and enhances shareholders’ value is a reflection of its mission. Such mission is to provide the highest quality transportation service while committed to excellence, safety, reliability, and efficiency, Intrinsic factors as those described above very seldom change the direction of an organization. However, on the other side of this equation is the basic framework where lies the strategy – the link between the firm (internal) and the industry (external) environment. Key factors that require a change in strategy could be found either in the firm (resources and capabilities, structure and systems changes or fluctuations) or the industry environment (competitors, customers, or suppliers) (Grant, 2013, Chapter 1).…
Classic Airlines is the fifth largest airline company in the world. Similarly to the competitors it is suffering from high fuel costs, resulting in lower profits. Many companies dropped number of flights (with the net result of raising passenger load factors and efficiency on remaining flights), raised prices, developed very large revenue streams from checked baggage fees and other charges, and kept very tight lid on all controllable expenses (University of Phoenix Library, 2013). This way the airline companies minimized the expenses and raised the revenue.…

The short-term solution of decreasing flight capacity by 11% affects many factors in the operation of Continental Airlines. At first, it seems that a reduced number of flights and available seat miles would only benefit an airline that is failing to fill its flights and is losing out on profits because of it. On the other hand though, one must look deeper into the effects to find which costs are directly related to a reduction in flight capacity and which costs will largely be unaffected by the proposed solution. After examining the ten operating costs that Continental incurs throughout quarterly operation, I concluded that some of these costs are fixed or would not have a reaction to changes in flight capacity. In contrast, there are a few costs that are directly related to flight capacity and would see a large reduction with the cut in capacity. Table 1 below shows the ten costs that are incurred, details about each cost, and how they vary with a change in flight capacity.…
Since deregulation, margins are decreasing and LCCs have entered the market. Passengers are price sensitive and business travelers’ major concern is flight schedule and then price. Other factors such as reliability, amenities and in-flight experience are sought by passengers. Demand is cyclical and changes with business cycles.…
Paradise Vacations, Quebec’s market leader, is faced with an anticipated threat and potential severe competition from FunTours, one of the successful tour operators in Ontario. FunTours is known for its notorious low-price strategy and wants to penetrate into the Quebec market. FunTours has also incorporated an in-house airline of three planes (FunAir). Paradise Vacations’ success is depending on the selection of the most efficient pricing strategy. In addition, it is crucial for Paradise Vacations to decide whether to renegotiate seat allotment with their existing alliance with Benoix Air or to agree to Air India’s offer to lease aircraft to launch its own airline.…

There are several types of distribution strategies. The most common types are intensive distribution, exclusive distribution, and selective distribution. Intensive distribution is more commonly used to distribute low priced or impulse purchases, for example soft drinks. Exclusive distribution involves limited distribution to a single outlet, for example cars. Selective Distribution is when an organization uses a select and small number of outlets to distribute his or her product. Land O Lakes uses an indirect distribution channel and intensive…
When Texas was a republic, most of the Africans who lived there were slaves. This is ironic because the reason why most Africans came to Texas was to be free, but in the 1860’s, there were not a lot of free Africans. The reason being is that in 1840, the Texas government passed a law that said free Africans had to leave Texas in two years or they will become enslaved again. However, some free African Americans won government permission to remain in Texas. This law is what caused the number of free Africans to go down. Even before the law, the citizen rights of the free Africans were shortened.…
They formulated an operating strategy that had produced the lowest cost per available seat mile of any major US Airline in 2001 – 6.98 cents versus industry average of 10.08 cents. With its strong capital base, Jet Blue was able to acquire a fleet of new airbus A320 aircraft. Jet Blue’s fleet is not only reliable and fuel efficient than other airline fleets, but also attended greater “economies of scale”.…
JetBlue, already a successful airline company, is considering a proper way to allocate its existing resources between the long-haul and short-haul routes in order to control or even reduce the costs within its capability. To be specific, how to reduce costs across E190 and A320 without damaging the stakeholders’ interests and customer satisfaction is a key issue for JetBlue’s top management.…
The core of JetBlue's strategy was low operating cost achieved through a smaller and more productive workforce; utilizing aircraft efficiently; better use of technology to achieve lower distribution cost i.e. use of electronic ticket as against paper ticket; use of brand new single model planes that reduced maintenance costs and training costs at the same time. However, moving into the growth phase, JetBlue was contemplating expansion with the introduction of a new model of planes, i.e. Embraer E190, that are smaller than the A320s that they were using. These planes were to be utilized for penetrating mid-size cities and also during off-peak times on existing routes. The company defined these markets as destination with 100 to 600 local passengers per day each way, compared to the much larger markets that the company was serving with its A320s. This had potential implications for its low-cost strategy.…
A successful business level strategy cannot be achieved without a good combination of differentiation and cost leadership activities. A company finds it difficult to have such a combination because it requires low costs and high value of the products simultaneously. (Azriel, 1999) JetBlue acquired the business model and the operational system of Southwest Airlines, which started as a low cost carrier, and that helped them to operate efficiently and to reduce costs. (De Moraes, 2012)…
