...Air Asia – Strategic IT Initiative Submitted by: Charles Kho Sandy Hofman Aruan Christian Tjitrahardja Ramaratnam Narayanaswamy Faculty of Economics and Commerce University of Melbourne 2005 306-669 Strategic Enterprise Systems Group Project Executive Summary IT is one of the major enablers of AirAsia’s successful low cost business model. Based on the environmental scanning performed, the demand for Low Cost Carrier (LCC) is expected to expand rapidly attracting more players to join the market thus increasing the degree of rivalry within the industry. In responding to this condition, it is imperative for AirAsia to continuously identify new sources of cost advantage so that it can provide the lowest possible price to the price sensitive customer and improve its market position. In this project, Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system is recommended as the new source of AirAsia’s cost advantages. Using Venkatraman and Henderson’s model APS fits smoothly to the Technology Transformation Perspective where business strategy acts as a driver. The functionalities provided by APS system to improve AirAsia’s performance include event management technology, supplier portals, inventory planning, demand forecasting, maintenance management, and route profitability analysis. As a result of implementing APS system, AirAsia can obtain both strategic and operational benefits. AirAsia is strongly recommended to outsource the development of APS system. As project management...

Besides that, there are also needs to establish reliability, validity, and measurement invariance. Finding shows that may have to develop a comprehensive theoretical model which involved question of what, how, why, who, where, and when and also test the model empiricallyin the literature. | An examination of a Factor Structure and Scale Reliability of the Work Motivation Scale, the Motivation Sources Inventory | Some weaknesses of the MSI are lack of research and development on the meta-theory of Leonard et al.’s (1999).

...Today is a rainy winter day. I slept really little last night so forgive me for this ugly picture. On a rainy winter day, I'm enjoying some me-time eating hot ramyeon in my room. :D love it. Its been almost 2 weeks since we've arrived in Korea. 2 weeks here seems really long for me too. In the short 2 weeks, Shir and I have been to so many places, met so many people. But then you realise that Seoul isn't really that different from Singapore. Well there are things I really enjoy though, like taking a stroll in the park, walking around a lot on the streets with my friends, climbing up or down a mountain, just enjoying one another's company is enough. Come to think of that, I've never really done that in Singapore? Maybe we don't have enough parks. Haha, but I guess that's what I really enjoy about Korea as of now, the nature - waters, trees, rocks. I'm still feeling sore about the fact that I have not seen snow. :( after all the excitement, I never got to see snow. =.= As the weather turns cold again this coming week, I really hope there would be some snow. SOME will do. I just need to see it. TT I think I'm the silliest thing ever. Yesterday I went out without my wallet. And I travelled 1h 30min without realising I didn't have my wallet with me! I was so far from home and it was impossible to return home to get it anymore. So silly. The funnier thing was the same thing happened to my new buddy the day before. Aye, I think we are destined. love,...

...JiaDong Xue Matthew Ryckebusch 09/25/2015 ESSAY 1 647 My Field of Dreams Going back to page when I was a little boy, I lived with my grandparents until I went to primary school. they doted on me a lot, during that time. I ate 5 times every single day and I am not willing to take exercise. When I went to school, my weight was up to 180 lb. That is very terrible for sure. When I grew up, I realized I do not even have a friend and nobody wants to make friend with me. I was inconsolable. I decided to change my life and to have a new one, to be the best one. First of all, I have to lose weight. In time of losing my weight, I spend about one hour running every morning and ate diet food, such as, vegetables, fruit, and low calorie meal. Reality is not as easy as I thought, insist on two months later, my plan has failed and my weight went back to the past. I was upset and I thought I will never ever achieve my goal. I started to eat and drink too much. I become introverted, and Id not like to talk to people. My parents saw my change and my father told me if you want your dream come true, you need to be positive, persevering, confident and use the scientific method to gradually achieve your goal. In this world, only you can beat yourself. It was then my father took me to the gym. In practice, I do not even...

...FAITH LAPIDUS: Now, the VOA Special English program AMERICAN STORIES.Our story today is called "The Last Leaf." It was written by O. Henry. Here is Barbara Klein with the story. (MUSIC) BARBARA KLEIN: Many artists lived in the Greenwich Village area of New York. Two young women named Sue and Johnsy shared a studio apartment at the top of a three-story building. Johnsy's real name was Joanna. In November, a cold, unseen stranger came to visit the city. This disease, pneumonia, killed many people. Johnsy lay on her bed, hardly moving. She looked through the small window. She could see the side of the brick house next to her building. One morning, a doctor examined Johnsy and took her temperature. Then he spoke with Sue in another room. "She has one chance in -- let us say ten," he said. "And that chance is for her to want to live. Your friend has made up her mind that she is not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind?" "She -- she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples in Italy some day," said Sue. "Paint?" said the doctor. "Bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking twice -- a man for example?" "A man?" said Sue. "Is a man worth -- but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind." "I will do all that science can do," said the doctor. "But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages at her funeral, I take away fifty percent from the curative power of medicines." After the doctor had gone, Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she went to Johnsy's...

...AC1- HUM16 Reporters: Platino, Sermae Tan, Cesalyn M. “BREAD OF SALT” By: NVM Gonzales Usually I was in bed by ten and up by five and thus was ready for one more day of my day of my fourteenth year. Unless Grandmother had forgotten, the fifteen centavos for the baker down Progreso Street – and how I enjoyed jingling those coin in my pocket! – would be in the empty fruit jar in the cupboard. I would remember then that rolls were that Grandmother wanted because recently she had lost three molars. Foy young people like my cousins and myself, she had always said that the kind called pan de sal ought to be quite all right. The bread of salt! How did it get that name? From where did its flavor come, through what secret action of flour and yeast? At the risk of being jostled from the counter by early buyers, I would push my way into the shop so that I might watch the men who, stripped to the waist, worked their long flat wooden spades in and out of the glowing maw of the oven. Why did the bread come nut-brown and the size of my little fist? And why did it have a pair of lips convulsed into a painful frown? In the half light of the street, and hurrying, the paper bag pressed to my chest, I felt curiosity a little gratified by the oven-fresh warmth of the bread I was proudly bringing home for breakfast. Well I knew how Grandmother would not mind if I nibbled away at one piece; perhaps, I might even eat two, to be charged later against my share at the table. But that would be betraying...

...Social media emphasize individuality Posted: Monday, November 2, 2009 11:40 pm Joe Dellosa, Alligator Columnist Do you remember LiveJournal? LiveJournal is a hybrid blogging and social networking service started by Brad Fitzpatrick in 1999. Users could create a blog that usually served as a public diary, and then they could add people they know who also set up LiveJournal blogs as "friends." Friends' blog entries are aggregated on a single page, allowing users to see at a glance what their buddies are up to, like a proto-News Feed. The service was many people's first experience with a Web 2.0 application, and, in particular, the first for many teens. LiveJournal quickly acquired a reputation as a clearinghouse for suburban, adolescent angst - collections of lengthy, startlingly sincere lamentations of broken hearts, occasionally interspersed with awful, copied-and-pasted Dashboard Confessional lyrics and "Which 'Hey Arnold!' Character Are You?" quizzes. (I always shot for Gerald, but I'd always wind up being Eugene - or, on a good day, Mr. Hyunh. This was a source of mild consternation.) LiveJournal was, in many ways, a forerunner of much of the purportedly revolutionary social media environment we're in right now. After all, it was started before the word "blog" was even coined and before the phrase "Web 2.0" gained any sort of currency, and it predates both MySpace and Facebook by about half a decade. It was also among the first social media to receive the same flak...
