    Qantas International

    All over the nation, news of Qantas’ restructuring of Qantas International (QI) has reached ears of many Australians and many have voiced out their concerns on the matter. Qantas International has been the weak link in the operations of Qantas group compared to its domestic, freight, low-cost carrier Jetstar and frequent flyer businesses. Qantas’ new strategy involves expanding its base of operations into the Asian region to capture the market share of a boom in airline activity. With this new strategy, it plans to introduce job- cuts of 1000 employees mainly pilots and engineers.

    Qantas Groups’ performance over the 2007 to 2011 period has been relatively poor mainly as a result of the global financial crisis adversely affecting the firm’s international operations. Strategically, Qantas is likely to continue to dominate the domestic airline industry with the success of Jetstar prompting expansion into the Asia Pacific region. The most significant threats facing Qantas include high fuel prices, the value of the Australian dollar and industrial action. A comprehensive financial analysis reveals that compared to other airlines, Qantas is showing strong signs of recovery despite there being inherent weaknesses in its liquidity. A review of the firm’s annual report revealed the presence of various accounting issues such distortion in its depreciation calculation, however it was determined that they were not significant enough to greatly affect Qantas overall financial position. Overall the firm was found to be in a financially sound position and through the implementation of its “QFuture” program; profitability is expected to continue to improve in following years. An evaluation of the Group’s equity found that the stock price for which Qantas is currently trading is overvalued by $0.50. This is further supported by the fact that over the last year the price of Qantas stocks has been subject to a downward trend suggesting that investors may have already identified the overvaluation. As a result of the findings of our analysis we therefore make a “sell” recommendation for Qantas stock.…

    Jetblue Case Analysis

    JetBlue Airways airline was established by David Neeleman as a low-fare airline with high-quality customer service. His goal was to create an airline that was innovative for the current market. Their main focus was to provide service to areas that were underserved as well as to large cities with overpriced fares. He aimed to establish a strong brand that differentiated itself from its competitors by being a safe, reliable and low cost-airline. Neeleman managed to achieve this partially by hiring friendly, helpful, team-oriented, and customer-focused people. JetBlue is capable of offering low-cost flights due to their low operating costs. In order to achieve the cost advantage, they initially operated a single-type aircraft, the Airbus A320, as opposed to the more popular but costly Boeing 737. Not only was the airbus cheaper to maintain, but it was also more fuel-efficient. Additionally, they decided not to serve any meals on their planes as well as their pilots had to always be available, if needed, to help do the cleanup of the aircraft in order to minimize the time the aircraft was on the ground. They also pioneered the low-cost airline industry by displaying the lowest incidence of delayed, mishandled, or lost bags, and the third-lowest number of customer complaints. Since JetBlue is a customer-oriented company, its objective is to make the customer’s experience extraordinary by providing electronic ticketing and improved in-flight entertainment so that it can rapidly grow as an affordable airline.…

    Rome's Role In Christian Law

    The shift to Christianity within the empire helped provide the emperor with more authority and therefore with more security. This is due to the fact that the Roman Empire began to be seen as an earthly incarnation of heaven, where the emperor acted as God’s regent (Maas, 1). The head of the state had become a leading figure in the Church as well. This would have justified any actions taken or laws made by the emperor and his government since they were ultimately made at God’s command. The importance of Roman Law, and its connection to Christian Law, heavily influenced the abilities of the emperor as well.…
