| ryanair porters five forces: Ryanair Case Study and Strategic Analysis Christoph Müller, 2011-04 Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: A, The University of Surrey, course: Business Strategy, language: English, abstract: This report conducts a competitive analysis of Europe's leading low-cost carrier Ryanair. For this purpose, various concepts and frameworks of the strategic paradigm are applied, such as Michael Porter's Five Forces and Value Chain Analysis, SWOT or Resource-Based View. When it comes to Ryanair's external environment the report provides extensive information on the external factors that are having a significant impact on Ryanair's low-cost strategy and its economic viability. For example, it takes into account recent global incidents, such as the volcanic eruption in Island or the public turmoil in Libya. Furthermore, based on the competitive analysis recommendations are made on Ryanair's future direction and as to how it can sustain and extend its strategic position. In particular, this part deals with strategic human resource management, corporate social responsibility, lean thinking and diversification. Due to the complexity of the aspects covered in this report and the need to clarify some of them more comprehensively, appendices are provided to promote understanding. |
| ryanair porters five forces: An Analysis of Ryanair's Corporate Strategy Miriam Mennen, 2010 Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 72 % - A, University of Sunderland, course: Global Corporate Strategy, language: English, abstract: Ryanair was founded in 1985 as a family business that originally provided full service conventional scheduled airline services between Ireland and the UK. The airline started to compete within the confines of the existing industry by trying to steal customers from their rivals, especially the state monopoly carrier Air Lingus, outlined by Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne (2004) as Bloody or Red Ocean Strategy. Ryanair seemed to follow a me-too strategy; according to Osborne, K. (2005), they tried to be all things to all people. Even they started restructuring; their strategy was not enough differentiated and their cost advantage was too low to be profitable. Ryanair then created a competitive advantage through the alignment of the three components of business systems; 1)Creating superior value for their customers (outside perspective) 2)Supplying their superior value-adding activities in an effective and efficient manner (which jointly form the Value Chain) 3)Possessing over the resource base required to perform the value-adding activities, (inside perspective) According to Porter (1987), corporate strategy is what makes the corporate whole add up to more than the sum of its business unit parts. It is seen to be concerned with the overall purpose and scope of the organisation and to meet the expectations of major stakeholders. All aspects of Ryanair's value chain are important to the company and their shareholders as Ryanair's decisions add value to both. The following report outlines the three perspectives of shaping Ryanair's business system. The value creation dimension of Ryanair's business model will be outlined, considering the theories of Porter and the more recent authors Kim and Mauborgne (2004). Further, the l |

| ryanair porters five forces: Ryanair and its low cost flights in Europe Sascha Mayer, 2008-06-19 Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, University of the Sunshine Coast Queensland (Business Faculty), course: Marketing Management, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this report is to provide a Marketing Plan for Ryanair, which is developed to strengthen the company’s position in the market. It is precisely tailored to the company’s actual organizational situation and its market environment. The report deals with analyses of Ryanair Holdings plc and its core business – low cost flights – with regards to get a status of its performance and the actual market situation in order to develop a suitable and successful marketing strategy. Ryanair offers low cost passenger flights within Europe. The airline serves short haul, point-to-point routes between Ireland, the UK and Continental Europe. Our idea is it to keep the product as simple as possible. Passengers travel ticketless without any frills in one class without any seat – it is simple air transportation from A to B. The external environment in Europe favors Ryanair and the entire low-cost airline market with an air traffic growth of up to 20%. Regarding the competitive environment Ryanair - with a clear strategy and structure - gains in importance and already became the market leader in the intra-European low-cost airline market – closed-packed with Easyjet and followed by Air Berlin. With its 35 Mio passengers in 2006 and an excellent profitability on a high level of 20% is growing healthy and shows strong financial reserves of more than €2 billion. Our customer is anyone within Europe in the age between 15 and 64, who wants to save money and still be able to travel by air to attractive destinations. This awareness of different passenger types requires marketing campaigns that cover all categories of potential customers. With this in mind we developed a Marketing Plan with specific tactical marketing activities. We have ambitious goals and objectives for further growth and market penetration in Europe within a time frame of 6 years till 2012. On the one hand we plan to raise the market share within the low cost sector up to 40%. With our growing fleet of 200 airplanes in 2012, we want to double our annual passenger transportation to 80 million by then. On the other side we plan to eliminate the rest of our costly call centers and base the distribution only on online booking. These concrete plans base on a realistic financial plan.The included best and worst case scenarios illustrate clearly that with implementing and executing all activities properly, the airline can quadruple its annual profit up to €1,230 billion in 2012. |

| ryanair porters five forces: Porter ?s (1980) Generic Strategies, Performance and Risk Jan Eldring, 2009-05 Porter's (1980) book Competitive Strategy has received a great deal of attention in the strategic management literature. Here Porter claims that competitive strategy is the search for a favorable competitive position in the industry, which can erode or improve, depending on a firm's choice of strategy. He derived a conceptual typology of three generic strategies that has already become a classic among scholars. They are cost leadership, differentiation and focus strategies. Just recently Michael Raynor (2007) challenged Porter's widely accepted typology, by including another dimension in the discussion that previously did not find consideration: risk. He claims that firms that execute pure strategies are much more exposed to corporate risk than firms that execute hybrid strategies. Two arguments support his view. First Porter's and other studies include what is called a survivor bias, meaning that firms that went bankrupt during the investigation (with a pure strategy) do not play a role in the analysis. Second firms that have hybrid strategies are much more flexible when market preferences shift and are therefore less exposed to strategic uncertainty. Raynor's work is a valuable extension to the strategic management literature that leads to an assessment of strategic choice on at least two dimensions: profitability and risk. The contribution of the study is then twofold. First Porter's typology is tested with German data. Secondly Raynor's argument is tested, whether the very same firms that are more successful have a higher risk of running into corporate bankruptcy. In order to have the necessary information, the first section of the study reviews the literature. Here the generic strategies are explained and the most important studies on the topic are summarized in a table. Then the Strategy Paradox is presented that describes Raynor's argumentation for an increase in risk with pure strategies. Two conflicting theories are mentioned that deal with the question |

| ryanair porters five forces: The Competitive Strategy Michael E. Porter, 2003-12-26 Now nearing its 60th printing in English and translated into nineteen languages, Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy has transformed the theory, practice, and teaching of business strategy throughout the world. Electrifying in its simplicity -- like all great breakthroughs -- Porter's analysis of industries captures the complexity of industry competition in five underlying forces. Porter introduces one of the most powerful competitive tools yet developed: his three generic strategies -- lowest cost, differentiation, and focus -- which bring structure to the task of strategic positioning. He shows how competitive advantage can be defined in terms of relative cost and relative prices, thus linking it directly to profitability, and presents a whole new perspective on how profit is created and divided. In the almost two decades since publication, Porter's framework for predicting competitor behavior has transformed the way in which companies look at their rivals and has given rise to the new discipline of competitor assessment. More than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalized Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors,, and choose competitive positions. The ideas in the book address the underlying fundamentals of competition in a way that is independent of the specifics of the ways companies go about competing. Competitive Strategy has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. By bringing a disciplined structure to the question of how firms achieve superior profitability, Porter's rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century. |

The technology is powerful, simple, and enjoyable, and so is Schwartz's book. -Stewart Brand What increasingly affects all of us, whether professional planners or individuals preparing for a better future, is not the tangibles of life-bottom-line numbers, for instance-but the intangibles: our hopes and fears, our beliefs and dreams. Only stories-scenarios-and our ability to visualize different kinds of futures adequately capture these intangibles.

The early 21st century marked the industry with high losses and consolidation. Due to the reason that the industry sector highly depends on the external environment: the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, magnified by the weak economic conditions in many major countries and more recently the Iraq War and SARS epidemic, have made the last five years unhappy ones, especially for most of the schedules airlines. In addition to that, the liberalisation of the European aviation market enabled low cost airlines to reshape the competitive environment and to make significant impacts in the world's domestic passenger markets, which have previously been largely controlled by full service carriers. The overall market situation is dominated by increasing pressure on cost and productiveness. The global market trend forces a high company concentration that strengthens market positions. Lufthansa - Germany's national carrier was faced, like all other national carriers with the above-mentioned problems and had to find its way out of the crisis. The central question of this report is: With which tools did Lufthansa solve these problems? And are these tools sufficient to be competitive for future developments? This report paper is dealing with the developments in airline business illustrated with the example of Germany's national carrier, the Lufthansa AG, and the enormous company restructuring toward an ideal global player in a highly competitive environment.

| ryanair porters five forces: Straight and Level Stephen Holloway, 2016-12-14 This third edition of Straight and Level thoroughly updates the previous edition with extensive comments on recent industry developments and emerging business models. The discussion is illustrated by current examples drawn from all sectors of the industry and every region of the world. The fundamental structure of earlier editions, now widely used as a framework for air transport management courses, nonetheless remains unchanged. Part 1 of the book provides a strategic context within which to consider the industry's economics. Part 2 is built around a simple yet powerful model that relates operating revenue to operating cost; it examines the most important elements in demand and traffic, price and yield, output and unit cost. Part 3 probes more deeply into three critical aspects of capacity management: network management; fleet management; and revenue management. Part 4 concludes the book by exploring relationships between unit revenue, unit cost, yield, and load factor. Straight and Level has been written primarily for masters-level students on aviation management courses. The book should also be useful to final year undergraduates wanting to prepare for more advanced study. Amongst practitioners, it will appeal to established managers moving from functional posts into general management. More broadly, anyone with knowledge of the airline industry who wants to gain a deeper understanding of its economics at a practical level and an insight into the reasons for its financial volatility should find the book of interest. |

| ryanair porters five forces: Return on Strategy Michael Moesgaard, Morten Froholdt, Flemming Poulfelt, 2009-12-04 Why is it that many companies meticulously following recipes on management and strategy fail? Did Google, Skype, Ryanair, Huawei and a number of other successful companies buy into a well thought out strategy and adhered to that over time? How do companies deliberately opting out of the recipe game and opting into the out-of-the-box-thinking fare? In short, why is it that some companies achieve a higher Return on Strategy than others? Whereas Return on Investment (RoI) has attracted increased attention over the last couple of decades, little, if any, attention is being paid to whether companies do at all achieve Return on Strategy (RoS) and how. This book provides an overview of contemporary strategy literature and recipes brushed up with a view to identifying explanations as to how recipes has seldom worked as intended. One out of several reasons rests on the fact that recipes do not take the so-called X-factor into account. With the X-factor as the starting point the book examines a sample of 50 global companies of which some has achieved a remarkable high Return on Strategy and others failed. The 50 companies covers most continents as some are from the North America, some are from the European continent and others are from different parts of the emerging Asian region – threatening companies from the Western hemisphere. The book explains the reason behind success and failures and provides practical tools as to how companies may increase their Return on Strategy. In the toolbox, you will find a framework on how to increase the Return on Strategy as well a number of dynamic positioning tools, road maps and bearing points. Invariably, more and more companies - including consultants, business leaders and MBAs - now work diligently in order to increase their Return on Strategy and the best of them are here to stay successfully – are you? |

| ryanair porters five forces: Strategic Management Theory and Application Dr. Aasim Mir, 2025-02-21 Strategic management represents the confluence of art and science, serving as a vital tool for translating theoretical concepts into actionable practices that shape organizational success. This book offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering the nuances of strategy in today’s ever-evolving global business environment. As the pace of technological innovation, globalization, and socio-economic changes accelerates, the need for robust, adaptable, and forward-thinking strategies has never been more critical. By exploring foundational concepts, cutting-edge trends, and practical frameworks, this book seeks to empower readers to navigate complexities and leverage opportunities effectively. Strategic management is not merely about creating plans or setting objectives—it is a disciplined approach that combines analysis, foresight, execution, and continuous adaptation. This book is meticulously organized into eight parts, each addressing distinct facets of strategic management. It provides a seamless progression from foundational principles to advanced applications, enriched with theoretical insights, practical frameworks, and real-world case studies. This structure ensures that readers, whether they are students, professionals, or entrepreneurs, can derive meaningful insights and apply them effectively in diverse contexts. The journey begins with an exploration of the core principles of strategic management, laying a solid foundation for understanding its purpose, evolution, and significance. By differentiating between strategic thinking and strategic planning, the book underscores the importance of cultivating a mindset that is both analytical and visionary. Special attention is given to integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical considerations into strategic practices, reflecting the growing demand for businesses to align their objectives with societal and environmental values. The subsequent focus on external and internal environment analyses introduces indispensable tools like PESTEL analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and the VRIO framework, equipping readers to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and harness organizational strengths effectively. The holistic approach emphasized throughout the book is exemplified in the chapters on strategy formulation and implementation. Business-level and corporate-level strategies are examined in depth, with frameworks like Porter’s Generic Strategies, the BCG Matrix, and Blue Ocean Strategy providing practical tools for achieving competitive advantage. The inclusion of global strategies highlights the need for businesses to navigate the challenges and opportunities of a digitally interconnected world. Chapters on innovation and technology strategy delve into managing technological disruptions, fostering open innovation, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Big Data, and IoT. These insights prepare readers to position their organizations for long-term success in an era of rapid digital transformation. Leadership and execution, critical elements of strategic success, are addressed through discussions on organizational structure, change management, and strategic control. The book examines the pivotal role of leaders in driving strategic outcomes, emphasizing the need for adaptability and resilience in complex and dynamic environments. Models for managing organizational change and resistance provide actionable insights for practitioners tasked with guiding businesses through transitions.

| ryanair porters five forces: Airline Marketing and Management Stephen Shaw, 2007 Through five previous editions Airline Marketing and Management by Stephen Shaw has established itself as the preferred textbook for students of the principles of marketing and their application in today's airline industry; as well as a reliable reference work for those with a professional interest in the area. Carefully revised, the sixth edition of this internationally successful book includes new material on: the impact of the Trade Cycle and the current period of high oil prices on the demand for air travel; the effect of current trends towards regulatory reform and the relaxation of Ownership and Control rules on the structure of the international airline industry; the continuing strong impact of Low Cost Carriers, and the strategic options open to so-called 'Legacy' airlines as they respond to the challenges facing them; and, the setting up of new 'Business Class Only' airlines. Why are they appearing now, and what are their long-term chances of success? An initial review of the structure of the air transport market and the industry marketing environment is followed by detailed chapters examining airline business and marketing strategies, product design and management, pricing and revenue management, current and possible future distribution channels, and selling, advertising and promotional policies. The reader will benefit from greater understanding of both marketing and airline industry jargon and from the knowledge obtained regarding the significant strategic challenges facing aviation at the present time. Written in a straightforward, easy-to-read style and combining up-to-date and relevant examples drawn from the worldwide aviation industry, this new edition will further enhance the book's reputation for providing the ideal introduction to the subject. |

Instead, Porter claimed, they should analyze the five forces that mold the environment in which they compete: new entrants, substitute products, buyers, suppliers, and industry rivals. |

| ryanair porters five forces: Flying Ahead of the Airplane Nawal K. Taneja, 2016-04-15 Airlines willing to develop insight from foresight relating to the expected ’step phase changes’ will eventually improve their margins. However, the backward-looking airline, managed using old strategic levers and short-term metrics, will cease to exist, merge, shrink, become more dependent on government support, or become irrelevant. ’Management innovations’ are not going to deliver the required improvements; innovation within management is essential for airlines' survival. In Flying Ahead of the Airplane, Nawal Taneja analyzes global changes and thought-provoking scenarios to help airline executives adjust and adapt to the chaotic world. Drawing on his experience of real airline situations worldwide, the author concludes that there is a gulf between what executives are doing now and what they need to do to stay ahead of the curve. To close this gap, the author suggests that airline executives focus on just three relevant initiatives: a) aligning business and technology strategies, b) redesigning organization structures to centralize the role of the scheduling function, and c) developing relevant brands that integrate social networking technology. To support this third initiative, the book provides insights on branding from 20 fascinating non-aviation case studies from around the world. Flying Ahead of the Airplane will assist practitioners in airlines of every size to integrate future trends into their mainstream thinking and launch flexible business models to manage risk and compete effectively in the ’flattening world’. |
