In commission on real narrow margins the decline in passenger traffic which was embraced by airlines due to the events of September 11th, 2001 has had a direct effect on the many domestic and global airline carriers across The United States (Taylor, 2003). The events that occurred that day created governmental intercession by means of loan assurances, recompense for terrorist attack fatalities, and insurance associated with war hazards (Taylor, 2003). The Associate deputy secretary of Transportation stated that the industry is in its worst financial crisis” (Taylor, 2003), since the industry was deregulated in 1978 (Taylor, 2003).

Moving on, the second part looks at the challenge that Morrison’s have faced in the recession. The management approach used at will be mentioned and frameworks such as the PEST and SWOT analysis will be looked at to further analyse Morrison’s. Lastly, a recommendation will be given to Morrison’s. 1.1 What is Management? Management involves organising resources to coordinate activities so that a business can achieve its overall objective. The origins of management can be traced back to the times of the famous Chinese general and philosopher, Sun Tzu, whose book, The Art of War, demonstrates his approach to management. To develop our understanding of management two definitions will be looked at and analysed. To start things off, F.W Taylor’s definition of management will be studied, ‘’ Art of knowing what is to be done and seeing that it is done in the best possible manner’’ (Taylor, F.W. 1911). Taylor uses the word ‘Art’ to explain that management in itself is a skill on its own and if a manager is able to perfect this skill, they will know how to get work done in the most efficient way. The second definition that will be analysed is by the author Kreitner, “Management is a problem solving process, where an organisation must use its scare resources efficiently in order to achieve...

...declined in size to a very great extent and now occupies only one floor of the building with the rest of the office space being rented to a variety of smaller companies. For a year the Galley continued to operate as before – only now serving the new office workers in addition to those employed by the shipping company. In 2013, however, it was sold to a commercial catering company – Lunchbox UK Ltd. Because of transfer of undertakings regulations all the existing 20 staff were re-employed by Lunchbox on their existing terms and conditions of employment. These were relatively generous, when compared with those existing for other Lunchbox employees, having been negotiated with the shipping company by representatives of the Transport and General Workers Union. The area around the building has undergone rapid development over the past two years. Where once there were empty warehouses and derelict land there are now 30 office buildings, a cinema, a sports centre and a number of private apartment buildings. As a result, three new chain restaurants and two pubs have opened within ten minutes walk of the office building in which The Galley is situated. Employees working in the building are thus...

Don’t forget … you might see these questions again! Directions: Please read the following scenario, then answer the questions that follow. “Managing a Ski Shop” Your best friend’s sister and brother-in-law run the local ski shop near campus in your college town, but they have recently bought another type of business in another town. They want you and your friend to take over managing the ski shop. If you run it successfully, you and your friend will gradually be given substantial equity in the shop and eventually would own the whole business. So far, the shop has been only marginally profitable. Although the shop carries ski equipment and ski clothing, it has habitually run out of both during the peak skiing season. Extra merchandise hastily ordered to meet the demand has often arrived so late that it could not be sold until the next season, if at all. In addition, the shop does very little business from March through August. Due to a dispute over the size and prominence of the outside sign displaying the shop’s name...
