The main focus of this report is to identify the legal classification, the characteristics, the life cycle stage of Qantas and one internal and external stakeholder that is affected by the activates of Qantas. The legal classification describes that Qantas is a public company and has changed its legal classification in the growth and maturity stages of the business life cycle.

For the engine cost, there is also a positive correlation thus; increase in this cost may also vary in the increase in average age of fleet per hour. However, on this cost, only 61% is determined in the regression equation. Like in the airframe cost, there will be additional 2.6 in cost for every hour of average age in thousands.

Management practices at Qantas are more flexible and adapted to suit challenges in society such as the reaction to terrorism, the introduction of viral disease and the ever changing market and customer requirements.

Another strategy that Qantas has used to respond to globalisation is through product differentiation. Qantas maintained it’s competitive advantage by providing a service which was unique and different to those of it’s competitor. Qantas was known for having ‘the best safety record of any airline in the world’. The airline was also ‘true-blue’ Australian and was Australian owned. This made the business different and attracted customers towards Qantas giving it a competitive edge over it’s foreign competition. Following the deregulation of Qantas, the business has started to lose sight of what it really was. The business has recently decided to implement another

As such, our company’s people resources pose the greatest risk for security breach. Our way to help mitigate risk in this area is to keep communication lines open in this area and to continually mandate security knowledge training, with mandatory updates on a regular basis. When the employees are informed of company policy when facing a security matter, they are better equipped to act in the best or right way. In this way knowledge is power – or at least empowerment to act in the best interest of the company’s information security.

Qantas’ situational analysis (SWOT) is the first step in the marketing process whereby the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the airline are identified. The airline’s strengths include: Being part of the Oneworld alliance, having a high safety record, being a globally recognised airline through the use of branding and the flying kangaroo logo, purchasing the latest aircraft thus updating technology and staying level with international competitors and the final strong success of Qantas has come by operating out of some of the world’s major air travel hubs such as Los Angeles International Airport, London’s Heathrow Airport, Singapore’s Changi Airport and Sydney Kingsford Smith International providing an excellent range of customers.

Global strategy plays a vital role in strengthening organisations such as Qantas (Hill & Jones, 2010). Through the use of integration and global standardisation Qantas will be able to enhance its operations and increase its aviation market share. These strategies will enhance Qantas’ consumer base, whilst improving customer service outcomes. The implementation of these strategies will enable superior quality service delivery and improved performance against rivals in the aviation industry.

“Security programs are aimed at creating an appreciation and understanding of the Security Department’s objectives as they relate to the specific industry they serve” (Sennewald, 2013). Businesses come in all different sizes, some big some small. Businesses need a plan to ensure assets, personnel, and facilities are protected and this plan must be actively in place. Security programs provide businesses with the framework needed to keep a business or company at the security level needed to operate. This can be done in numerous ways. Assessing the risks involved, lessening the gravity of those risks, and keeping the security program and the security practices updated are just to name a few.

According to Jim Whitehurst who sits on the board of United Airlines, the most important aspect of success in the company is the development of an appropriate culture from the top of the chain going downwards. This means that the culture that the management cultivates can spiral downwards to other employees in the company. For instance, United airlines has a huge focus on safety which is one of the missions of the company as a whole. With meetings beginning with a discussion on the placement of exits and the proper way of exiting the building in case of emergencies, this gives an example of how their culture is reinforced and cultivated all through the organization (Whitehurst, 2016). Having the proper culture to emulate is important because
