...portfolio. While reviewing and analysing the competitive strategy of Ryan Air, it is observed that the company is offering the low cost products to its customers (Ryan Air, 2012). In other words, the Ryan Air believes that the low cost services and products is the key ingredient of its success as yet. This product strategy also defines that the company has applied and executed the cost leadership strategy as suggested under the Porter’s Generic Strategies. The aim of Ryan Air through low fare is to stimulate the demand. As a result, it helps the company to attract the travellers those are price conscious, rather than quality (Kahawatte, 2010). However, it does not mean that Ryan Air does not comply with the health & safety regulations, but it only focuses on the basic necessities to avoid extra costs. In addition to the above, the Ryan Air does not bind its customers to book two way tickets which also motivate customers. 3.2 Product Strategy: Developing and executing the appropriate product and service strategy has always been one critical area for Airline companies. Ryan Air, being the cost leadership in the global Airline industry promises to offer the excellent customer services which help it to satisfy the customers’ demands and expectations (Mennan, 2005). However, the prices are set in accordance with the demand which eventually fluctuates and the price list always fluctuates. This has helped the Ryan Air to create its demand, increase its market shares and attract cost conscious...

...Alba Belegu ID 6668 Performance Management 5515/S SMC University Dr. Thomas Grisham January 2, 2013 Author Note Alba Belegu, Doctorate in Business Administration student, SMC University. Correspondence related to this paper should be addressed to Alba Belegu, Department of Management, American University in Kosovo, Germia Campus, 10000, Pristina, Kosovo Contact: abelegu@aukonline.org DQ # 1 State the measurement system used by your employer and recommend how it could be improved with your understanding of its management measurement systems presently. No matter the business endeavor and the industry, the environment and business entity needs to be understood. With the growth of the business, the focus shifts in leverage points and relationships with the customers, suppliers, competitors and employees (Nugent, 2003). Moreover, changes in leadership amplify the chaos created with businesses growing (Eckerson, 2005; Nugent, 2003). This has been the reality at the American University in Kosovo (AUK) wherein there has been a new management structure introduced in 2011. AUK is lacking focus, and the strategy being defined and translated into clear objectives, metrics and tasks customized to individuals, which is not enabling it to advance organization’s goals and strategies. To stabilize the current situation created as a result of new leadership structure, AUK needs to instill a business information system enabling AUK to optimize performance and achieve strategic...

Is it something you can install, like a refrigerator? How do you know TQM when you see it? DQ 2 A System Perspective (graded) When we talk about a system view, what are we interested in and why? Why is a system view so important to have if you are going to implement TQM? GSCM326 Week 2 Discussion DQ1 & DQ 2 Latest 2016 Jan. DQ 1 Deming's 14 Points (graded) Are Dr. Deming’s 14 points clear, concise, and achievable? If not, what do you think he had in mind? In Deming’s view, who needs to do what and why? DQ 2 Quality Awards and Standards (graded) The authors of our text talk about the Baldrige Award throughout their book. In previous versions, they even designed their text around this award. Given that our course is about TQM, an in-depth discussion of the Deming Prize would seem to be appropriate since it is the framework of company-wide quality control in Japan, which embodies what we call TQM in the United States, but is hardly discussed in our text. So let's do some research. Put on your investigative hats and see what you can find about the Deming Prize. You...

...D-Q University: Group study on leadership analysis Group members: Sam Cade, Tim Gula, Leon Manto, Lesley Mumford, Rich Randolph National University LED 603 March 26, 2012 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze power structures, leadership, systems, organizational culture, and ethics issues that contributed to D-Q University’s leadership failures. With the goal of re-establishing a more viable tribal college, the group will also identify leadership intervention approaches that will address these issues which are both highly interactive and, because of their magnitude, gravely complex. Power Structures Power Structures In Indian Universities The power structures of American Universities vary greatly depending on the type of students they serve, the schools’ history and the culture of the community they assist. Some colleges have large boards of trustees while others have no recognizable power structure. Whatever the power structures, there has to be some semblance of fiscal responsibility, ethics, curriculum planning and oversight that will enhance the institutions’ longevity. The role of the Board of Trustees The primary role of the leadership structure in all universities is to provide the best educational program possible for the students. University trustees make all final decisions regarding school district priorities, personnel, textbooks, expenditures and growth management. Trustees adopt a budget that is necessary to maintain...

...to fight change will generally lose and as a result the patient loses. Change is what makes the world a better place and truthfully allows for many of us to live longer and healthier lives. I wanted to take a different approach on this question and look at a major corporation that we’re all familiar with. The organization is Xerox. Xerox Corporation is considered by most as one of the largest document management and service enterprises in the world (Xerox, 2013). However, in 1999 Xerox like many others before them noticed a decline in revenue and projections for growth was not promising. For years, Xerox relied on old fashion analog copiers, while the competition moved forward with technology and provided digital copiers (Southwestern University, 2013). By not keeping up with technology and being a leader and innovator within the industry, Xerox lost its’ swagger. As a result, the organization decided there was a need for change and hired G. Richard Thoman as the new Chief Executive Officer (Xerox, 2013). Thoman immediately assessed Xerox’s current situation and decided that a number of things had to change for the organization to regain market share. Thoman decided that it would be in Xerox’s best interest to “transition from analog machines to digital technology, slash costs, sell the company’s financial...

...recognize these differences and develop a plan for cohesion and stability. In the University of Phoenix class Organizational Leadership, the members of Learning Team B have all taken DiSC Assessments to understand better these traits and tendencies. In the following paper I will outline a professional development plan for these members both individually and as a group with my ability to lead them. Ebony Ingram Ebony Ingram is an Assessor (Ci) with a predominately cautious style. The assessor is “less guarded and less indirect than most other cautious styles” (University of Phoenix, 2015). An assessor is a wonderful asset to have on a team because they can have great intuition with a head full of knowledge through detailed evaluation. The negative of this style is that even though Assessors are quick thinkers, they may be slow to take action (University of Phoenix, 2015). This is something to keep in mind when putting together a professional development plan with contrasting personnel working together. Rasha Long Rasha Long is a Go-Getter (Sd) with a predominately steadiness style. The go-getter is “less open and less indirect than most other steadiness styles” (University of Phoenix, 2015). This can be beneficial to a group through taking charge in short-term situations and multitasking. One negative of this style is that a go-getter can become rigid and guarded when under pressure (University of Phoenix, 2015). As leaders, this personality can be utilized for the greater good...
