Second Wave

Due to the vast distances across the country as well as between urban centres, Australia is heavily reliant upon its air transport industry. Following deregulation of Australia's domestic air travel market on the 30th October, 1990, low cost carriers have entered the market. Australia's LCC market has had three discrete phases. The first wave occurred between 1990 and 1993 and was subsequently followed by a duopoly period in 1994–1999. The second wave occurred between 2000 and 2006 and the final wave has been in the post-2006 period. This paper examines the evolution of Australia's domestic low cost carrier airline market and finds that by 2010, low cost carriers had captured around 64 per cent of the market. Following the evolution of the “Virgin Australia” business model from a low cost carrier to a full service network carrier, commencing in 2011, the low cost carrier's market share has declined significantly and is now around 31 per cent. “Jetstar” and “Tiger Airways” are the two major carriers presently operating in this market segment.

Air travel routes and high speed rail connection between Milan and Rome after the Alitalia crisis This paper analyses the first available data about changes in passenger traffic and air/rail fares after the Alitalia crisis and the substantial reduction of the travel time between Milan and Rome, due to the improvement of high speed rail on this connection. As recently happened in similar cases within Europe, the rail has gained a significant share of traffic previously attracted by air transport services. Apart from that, a real price competition is prevented by a number of inefficiencies which are mainly due to the monopolistic position of the new Alitalia on the route Milan Linate-Rome Fiumicino and problems of accessibility affecting our airports, and partly our rail stations too. The role of the various authorities potentially involved is burdened, in the last instance, by infrastructural deficiencies.

The Right

I have now reached the end of my task. The theme which I have sought throughout is that operating economics, in the broadest sense, are the essence of commercial Air Transport. The purpose of Air Transport is to improve communications—and to improve them economically. Although Air Transport the World over is losing money at present, through a combination of unfortunate circumstances, the facts of the present situation and of developments in train will, I am sure, confound the prophets of gloom. Air Transport, provided with adequate tools and run on the right methods, can be made to pay—furthermore, air travel can be provided economically at fares which the average man will be able to afford.

Maximization Principle

This paper studies the problem of computing market share in competitive service supply chains characterized by service congestion phenomena. Heterogenous customers choose services based on the utility maximization principle taking congestion into account. We use customer choice theory and infinite dimensional variational inequality to model the customer behavior and estimate service product’s market share. An extended Frank and Wolfe algorithm for solving this market share problem and a numerical example is given. The results shows that that service providers with poor service quality can also win some market share due to customers’ aversion to congestion.

Trinidad and Tobago is undergoing substantial economic growth resulting from petroleum revenues, the volume of transportation (including air travel) thus expanding rapidly. It is essential, therefore, to provide estimates of future traffic to allow sensible planning to be undertaken. Previous modelling work in this region has tended to be extrapolative. This paper describes work undertaken to evaluate the underlying causal relationships influencing the volume of air travel to the small (population 1.1 millions) twin-island Caribbean republic and to build a descriptive model. The well-tried method of multiple regression analysis was used. Locally available statistical data were utilized, the analysis revealing that airfare, per capita income, and population were the main influencing factors. Cultural ties between zones were taken into account, postwar migration emerging as a proxy variable to accommodate this. Backward projections were made using the calibrated equation and intuitively reasonable forward projections were derived. The paper contains as examples detailed descriptions of the results relating to four of the links studied as well as a presentation of overall results. The technique appears appropriate both to a rapidly changing economic environment and to small nations (for example, other Caribbean islands) in deriving projections for the design of air transport facilities and the planning of services.

Logistics service providers must become competitive in mail delivery, customer relationship management (CRM) strategies, and technological integration.  UPS, for example, uses a logistics service strategy to effectively manage the logistical requirements for its 7.9 million daily customers.  Within the competitive market of parcel delivery, logistics service providers must routinely invest in technology in an e-commerce environment in order to successfully develop strategies to meet the demands of B2B and B2C customers, while accomplishing customer efficiency and return on investments.  This strategy has helped logistics service providers to leverage their core competencies; in particular for UPS to become the shipping industry leader in e-commerce.  This research outlines the history, inner workings and culture of UPS, while simultaneously examining the subtleties, which have led to the company’s extraordinary success.  Throughout this analysis, the research will show that in fact there is a rather complex model, which allows UPS to function, as it incorporates B2B, B2C, investments in technology and on-line tools into an outcome of seemingly effortless customer efficiency.

The Board Of Directors

Outside firms are often called upon to provide an entity with professional services.  Such services might include external audit, systems, accounting, appraisal and valuation, actuarial, consulting, tax, or agreed-upon procedures work.  The audit committee of the Board of Directors is typically the party within the entity responsible for hiring and overseeing these outside professional service providers.   The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates that certain professional services, which may have previously been performed by the firm engaged to do the external audit, cannot be performed by that public accounting firm.  Thus, audit committees may be forced to contract with other professionals for services previously provided by the external auditors.  The task of locating, contracting with, and overseeing the work of qualified firms for these professional services may seem daunting to the audit committee.   This article presents steps the audit committee should take in selecting a professional service provider and overseeing that firm’s work.  Also given are ways in which the entity’s internal audit activity can provide significant assistance to the audit committee undertaking its tasks.

The Government

Recent policy approaches in Australia, influenced by neoliberalism, have constrained the implementation of international disability rights at the national level. Within the neoliberal and human rights approaches to social policy, what is the lived experience of people with disabilities? In focus groups with people with disabilities and interviews with disability stakeholders in Australia, participants were asked about their experiences and perspectives of welfare to work programs. We analyzed the data by drawing on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a framework. The analysis revealed tensions between the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the government, and a disconnection between policy discourse and policy practice. The results suggest that disability rights are jeopardized unless governments take responsibility to create the policy environment for rights-based policy to be implemented; including the equalization of opportunities, providing accessible information and communication about employment, and addressing the administration and process practices that employment service providers follow.
