...Task 2: What is Project Management? A project is a unique in that it is not a routine/daily operation/activity of an entity, but a specific set of operations/activities designed to accomplish a unique goal. A project team often includes people who don’t usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. For e.g. the development of software for an improved business process, the construction of a building or bridge, the relief effort after a natural disaster, the expansion of sales into a new geographic market — all are projects. And all must be expertly managed to deliver the on-time, on-budget results, learning and integration that organizations need. Project management, then, is the application of 1. knowledge, 2. skills and 3. techniques to execute projects effectively and efficiently. It’s a strategic competency for organizations, enabling them to tie project results to business goals — and thus, better compete in their markets. 5 Basic Phases of Project Management Project Management Institute, Inc. (PMI) defines project management as "the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of a particular project." The process of directing and controlling a project from start to finish may be further divided into 5 basic phases: 1.

...Briana Williams India: Boycotts against India/ India conducting business internationally March 1, 2015 Boycotts against India: After reading countless articles and numerous scholarly articles, it can be safe to say that there have been no major Boycotts against India. For years the focus for India has been changing from an agricultural based market to an industrial market. Soon India will become the world largest potential market for goods and services. Not only will there be a large market for consumer goods but also infrastructure development as well as financial and legal services. For the most part, countries are rushing in to do business with India versus boycott India. India is in the process of being the fastest growing economy meaning that other countries are trying to become trading partners with them to profit of the growing economy. Conducting Business: One of the biggest obstacles to overcome when entering the India market or doing business with India is definitely the cultural differences. They do things differently in India. Indian business culture and etiquette is the product of thousands of years of the influence of Hinduism with an overlay of Islam, the British Raj and more recent Western business systems.

...Air Asia: Flying Low Cost with High Hopes A cost leadership strategy of Air Asia remains viable despite the changing external environment. Although competition and rivalry amongst budget airlines is high, and it is difficult to differentiate from other providers due to the nature of the industry and product, it still has a first mover advantage which makes cost-leadership remain viable. They must remember that a cost leadership strategy can be maintained by be being efficient in all aspects of business and not just getting low prices from suppliers. Since Air Asia has already invested in brand development strategies through strategic alliances with prominent associations (such as F1 and Manchester United) it needs to leverage this more to additionally build its brand. However, the key is for Air Asia to strengthen other aspects of its positioning, such as convenience and integrated lifestyle packages, apart from just focusing on cost. This can be done by continuously focusing on innovation to make customer experience better. They should come out with additional value added services similar to online check in, such as ticketless travel and a free seating policy Air Asia should also look at new short haul routes to better compete with LCC airlines of Malaysian airlines. Various destinations in India can be looked at as they are not long haul and Air Asia can maintain cost leadership here. Forces | Description | Rivalry and Competition | * Threat of new entrants...
