on the base of above matrix below is stakeholder relationship with BA is as under.

STAKEHOLDERS PARTICIPATION

Customers of British Airways are primary stakeholders without whom there is no existence of this aviation industry. no customer no industry and thus no business at the end. So passengers satisfaction should be BA’s main strategy which they are fulfilling with satisfaction and comfort with the motto of value for money. They provide service as per required and promised. Then only as a result getting loyal customers. So passengers categorized in high interest high power category and deserve high importance as their decision power affect the industry the most.

The aviation industry:

Other competitor and authority falls under this group. And all the airlines has to follow rules set by the aviation authority so growth of BA depends on those rules which set the boundaries for BA to how far they go.

PRESENTATION ON BRITISH AIRWAYS PROBLEM

WITH RECOMMEDATION ON THE

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY / STRUCTURE

CONSIDERING ALL STAKEHOLDERS PARTICIPATION

TASK 2

TASK 2

INTRODUCTION

Strategic management is a art of planning your business at the highest level done by company’s leader. It builds a solid underlying structure by application of corporate strategy. The concept came up in 1970s. It brings changes in organization structure and corporate culture at all the level directors to employee.

It depends mainly upon 3 questions.

What is the objective?

How to achieve it?

What is required to achieve it?

OBJECTIVES

Identification of the Stakeholders for the Company and Challenge.

List and Identify the Resources required making the Strategy Successful.

Extend the Strategy Presented in the Presentation.

Report the Outcome to the Management.

STAKEHOLDERS FEEDBACKS AND PARTICIPATION IN STRATEGY.

The following are the stakeholders for British Airways:

The stakeholders in British Airways include:

Passengers – customers

The shareholders and management

The members of staff

The Government

The larger community

Creditors and debtors as well

The aviation industry

Various competitors

Each of the afore-mentioned stakeholders is involved in solving the challenge to British Airways as follows:

Passengers – customers:

Passengers are BA’s primary stakeholder. There will be no business without Customers of British Airways. Thus customer satisfaction should be BA’s main strategy. So best service standards are the key to business. Once they are satisfied and patronize/loyal to airline then only they will recommend friend and family which in long term help the BA.

The shareholders and management:

Shareholders are the people who are major investor in the business. They help the business by providing fund, introducing right issue, buying shares as IPO. Whereas the management organize the issue accordingly in challenging time and give away bonuses and ready to work extra mile.

The members of staff:

They are the main work force of company who are the main part in realization of vision, mission and objictives. It depend on management skill how manager deal with labor force as if they are not satisfied they rebel and do strike and stop working to put forward their demands but if they are managed properly they also get ready to work on half pay rate duing tough time for company.

The Government:

The best example of that is assistance offered by government to banking sector due to which recession effect is there. Thus here Government play important role as in normal time industry pay to government in form of tax but in difficulties government offer help to industry too.

The larger community:

Here community acts as a host to the organization. In other words it keep eyes on company’s act if company is beneficial to society then society gives full support but any adverse step by company which is causing damage to surrounding is challenged by community.

Creditors and debtors as well:

Creditor lend money to company and other form of finance. And company carry out business with their help. Debt forgiveness or extension of due date can save the company’s reputation in other words it can help company a lot.

The aviation industry:

Here mainly aviation authority plays an important role as if they change some laws then some competitor who are losing their business can again come up in market which can be biggest threat to BA. Competitors like easy jet, ryanair have very low fare which can also be threat to company and Affect Company’s growth.

POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND OUTCOME FROM THE STRATEGY

The following two options would be looked into:

PEST Analysis

Pest analysis stands for political, economical, social and technological analysis. It is useful for company’s present and future which identifies company’s strength and market position.

Term used for coordination and effective management method to mange a project team. This include whole team of BA which include ground staff, air based staff and top level management.

: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/market-segmentation.html#ixzz15DB9MkJw

BA can achieve benefit with strategy in terms of merger with American airline, Indian airline, Canadian airline and some more which they are already planning for.

.

Merger:

Merger is the combination of two or more company, where one company offer the stakeholder of other company share in the acquiring company in exchange of surrendering their stock, and property. BA is doing talk with different airline such as Canadian and American airline which might help BA in this struggling condition.

Additional capital Investment:

This term indicated purchase of new asset to survive or expand the growth by capital investment.

Cost reduction

This refers to cost cutting, which means to make such a frame work of activities by which one can check on all areas to minimize the expense and reduce the cost.

Mendelow’s matrix:

There are mainly four type of stakeholders according to mendelow’s matrix which is already mentioned in task 1.

On the base of above matrix one can explain relation between power/interest in term of stake holders.

The stakeholders and management:

Stakeholders are the key players in the company. business run by their funding so their interest is always high

.Passengers – customers.

Like any other business customer is crucial part of aviation industry as without customer there is no need of business/industry. If BA don’t have loyal customer than it’s hard for company to survive. Thus customer put in stakeholder with high power and high interest.

Government:

They recognized as key player too. As government role is vital for company in sense of existence in country or community. Impact of government policies and laws established as well as can demolish the company too.

Employer of BA:

They are very important for the company as man power in organization plays a vital role. At the same time they have high interest in company but relatively low power as they can redundant any time during job except some some higher level management who have power as well as responsibility.

Creditor and debtor:

This category includes buyers and suppliers. Suppliers who mainly provide funds and other recourse to run the company as per company’s credit is the creditor where as buyer are the main debtor. Organization runs with pace when both of them are supportive.

The larger community and aviation industry:

Aviation industry place major role by setting up rules and regulations while BA have some corporate responsibility towards community failure in this leads to opposition by community which lead to major issues to company which can demolish the company too, thus community classified in low interest high power group as they play vital role in company’s existence but don’t have any interest in profit.
