...Executive Summary AirTex Aviation is an aviation company, where located in one of the most rapidly growing communities in San Miguel Airport. The company provides fuel line services, Flight training and Aircraft sales. Unfortunately, due to poor organization structure and management team, the company goes to bankruptcy in early 1989. Two Harvard business students, Ted and Frank are interested in purchasing and helping a failing business that show a lot of potential. Both of them would like to implement decentralization strategy and a new control system for this failing company in order to change the current poor organizational structure. Ted and Frank’s Strategic Objectives and What Made Air Tex a Good Target Ted and Frank had an ambition to do a “turn around” in a failing business with potential and Air Tex seemed to meet their strategic objectives for the following reasons: 1. Affordability-Ted and Frank purchased Air Tex Aviation’s stock of $100,000 including leasing on the building with purchasing option. Later on, they exercise the option less than the market value, and sell and lease back the building. By doing this, they have already increase the working capital of $500,000. 2. Management-The poorly managed organizational structure of Air Tex became attractive to Ted and Frank and they both believed the company was in need of a new structure - decentralization. They had the skills and ability gained from school and workplace to create a new decentralized environment...

...importance of various subject matter for entry level airport operations personnel. The results from this study add to the body of research on aviation management curriculum development and can be used to better develop university curriculum and supplemental training focused on airport management and operations. Recommendations are made for specialized airport courses within aviation management programs. Further, this study identifies for job seekers or individuals employed in entry level positions those knowledge requirements deemed important by airport managers and operations personnel at different sized airports. INTRODUCTION In a speech given at the fifth annual General Aviation Forecast Conference, then University Aviation Association (UAA) President James E. Crehan called upon the aviation industry to define future personnel needs in terms of entry level qualifications and experiences so that UAA member institutions could respond to those needs. Previously, Lehrer (1992) had brought to the attention of the aviation community the increasing emphasis of university and college accrediting bodies to assess the learning that occurs within an aviation program. He raised the question of what skills, knowledge and values should a well educated aviation graduate possess? His question followed his previous work (1985) of trying to identify an aviation management curriculum for the...

...these organizations as well as investigating the factors responsible for the present level of adoption of these technologies in the organizations. Globalization of the social economy will further increase during the 21st century. The mission of international air transportation will become more important, and all airports around the world will have a significant role to play. Furthermore, it is predicted that air transportation demand in the world will double over the next 15 years. In the meantime, since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the environment surrounding the aviation industry has become very severe and has caused adverse impact to the entire aviation industry. Security at airports has been reinforced in all aspects, significantly deteriorated on-time performance, caused mass congestion at the airport, and caused a drastic increase in aviation management and operational costs. Owing to...

...IMF gold. In the end, we recommend that willing governments utilize a modest portion of their existing SDR allocations to capitalize a third-party financing entity. This entity would offer bonds on international capital markets backed by its SDR reserves. The proceeds would back private investment in climate-mitigation projects in developing countries that might otherwise lack adequate financing. This approach could mobilize up to $75 billion at little or no budgetary cost for contributing governments. Any limited budgetary costs could be offset by using excess proceeds from recent IMF gold sales. In our view, capitalizing a small portion of existing global assets—SDRs with a small back-up reserve of the income from gold already sold—to finance programs that deal with global public goods and bads makes eminent sense. I. INTRODUCTION The global community faces a number of critical common challenges, including climate...

...Abstract The aircraft carrier business contends in an oligopoly showcase. This implies just a few of airline companies control the significant bit of the business. Southwest Airlines is one of these organizations. They make up 16.6% of the business sector, second only to Delta. The motivation behind this paper is to talk about the microeconomic and macroeconomic situations that Southwest Airlines faces every day. The Airline Deregulation Act that was passed in 1978 was a huge impact on the aviation industry. There are administrative contemplations on financial choices, for example, group clamor and air quality. Southwest Airlines has moral (ethical) contemplations that should be tended to at whatever time financial choices are made. This paper additionally touches on the monetary hypotheses and models, including the Bertrand Model that Southwest Airlines ought to audit and consider for future accomplishment of the organization. Southwest Airlines must take after the Sustainability Accounting Standard for Airlines for all their bookkeeping purposes.

...With the increasing demand for up- to- date, correct and relevant information in the business world, it is crucial for each business to take advantage of breakthroughs in information technology specifically in the field of information systems. Information generated is used by decision makers to gain competitive advantage against competitors and to take advantage of opportunities to increase business performance, effectiveness and efficiency. One of the several information systems which are considered to be of the great help for managers in decision making is the decision support system. Decision Support System (DSS) combines models and data in an attempt to solve semi- structured and some unstructured problems with extensive user involvement. With correct gathering and manipulation of data, DSS can provide several alternative solutions which in turn can lead to correct decision making. Today, there are many companies adopting decision – support systems and data mining software not only in the U.S. but also in the Philippines. However, there is limited literature on companies in Iloilo City adopting this technology. For this reason, the proponents saw the need to study the process of one company in Iloilo City where this type of information system can be adopted. That company is Westvis Marketing Corporation. Westvis Marketing Corporation (WMC) was founded by Mr. Honesto Tomas Hsia on April 2011. Mr. Hsia was a former managing partner in Metrostate Consumer, Inc. (MCI). MCI’s...

The IIPDF has been created with initial budgetary outlay by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The procurement costs of PPPs, and particularly the costs of Transaction Advisors, are significant and often pose a burden on the budget of the Sponsoring Authority. Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) has identified the IIPDF as a mechanism through which Sponsoring Authority will be able to source funding to cover a portion of the PPP transaction costs, thereby reducing the impact of costs related to procurement on their budgets. From the Government of India’s perspective, the IIPDF must increase the quality and quantity of bankable projectsthat are processed through the Central or States project pipeline. The IIPDF will be available to the Sponsoring Authorities for PPP projects for the purpose of meeting the project development costs which may include the expenses...

Designed as a multiple case study by collecting data from primary and secondary sources, the participants of this study are scheduled airline businesses operating in Turkey. The airline companies have been found to use similar performance indicators within the financial, customer-based, internal business process, and learning/growth perspectives of BSC. Airline companies are recommended to use BSC because it allows them to transform their strategies into measurable performance indicators and to assess their performance multi-dimensionally.
