The new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
The new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental is the advanced version of one of the world’s most successful commercial aircraft. In close cooperation with Lufthansa, Boeing has developed an aircraft that is optimized not only in terms of comfort but also in all dimensions of climate and environmental responsibility. The fully redesigned wings, extensive use of weight-reducing materials and innovative engine technology ensure that this aircraft’s eco-efficiency has again been improved significantly in comparison with its predecessor: greater fuel efficiency, lower emissions and significant noise reductions (also see page 27). The “Queen of the Skies,” as many Jumbo enthusiasts call the “Dash Eight,” offers an exceptional travel experience in all classes of service, especially in the exclusive First Class and the entirely new Business Class. In this way, environmental efficiency and the highest levels of travel comfort are brought into harmony. Lufthansa has ordered 20 aircraft of this type.

    Although the aviation industry has contributed to economic sustainability, it has been long criticized to be one main reason of environmental degradation. With problems like fuel consumption, aircraft noise, air quality relevant emission, and other emission during flight travel, etc., the industry is referred as ‘dirty’ industry. The airline giant Virgin Atlantic takes the leading role on the war against carbon. As the director of customer experience at Virgin Atlantic said, although value of money and product quality are critical issues to take into consideration, the passengers of Virgin Atlantic expect more than that. Environmental sustainability has been concerned by more and more people…

    According to Mclean and Marshall (1993) organisational culture is defined as the collection of traditions, values, policies, beliefs and attitudes that contribute a pervasive context for everything we do and think in an organisation. (ie) this means that these factors actually determine how we think as well as act and react not only to people from within the same organisation but also to anybody on the outside who has some sort of interaction with the organisation. As can be seen with the part-structure in Figure 1, this organisation (WHD) has various levels of management. There is quite a bit of interaction between departments resulting in them being interdependent. This interdependence gives rise to how the branch performs in achieving its overall objectives.…

    The main aim of every organisation is increase demand for the goods and services it offers. To achieve this goal, organisations employ certain ethics that control their attitudes, beliefs, experiences and values. This ethical characteristic of an organisation is known as its 'organisational culture'. In their book Strategic Management, Hill and Jones (2001) define organisational culture as the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organisation, and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organisation. In their opinion, it also includes beliefs and ideas about what kind of goals members of an organisation should pursue, and ideas about the appropriate kind or standards of behaviour organisational members should use to achieve these goals. From organisational values develop organisational norms; guidelines or expectations that prescribe appropriate kinds of behaviour by employees in particular situations, and which control the behaviour of organisational members towards one another (Hill and Jones, 2001: 21).…

    This report provides a descriptive analysis of the organizational structure and culture that exists at the Training and Productivity Authority of Fiji (TPAF). It goes further on to analyze leadership and communications as two problematic behavioral aspects at TPAF that could be addressed to improve organizational performance and concludes by detailing recommendations that can be undertaken to bring about these improvements. Information for the report was gathered from the organization’s website and published reports, personal observation and reference materials available through the USC online library. The report establishes that TPAF’s organization structure is what is typically referred to as a bureaucracy with functional departmentalization and high levels of standardization. Although TPAF has its own set of values that it would like its employees to practice, in reality a different work culture exists which is reluctant to adoption of changes. Leadership and communication issues have been identified as problematic areas that TPAF can address in order to improve it organizational performance. Streamlining of the decision making processes, adoption of transformational leadership traits by TPAF managers, interdepartmental meetings and better vertical and horizontal communications are some of the recommendations that TPAF can adopt in order to improve its performance.…
