Assets are things that a company owns that have value. This typically means they can either be sold or used by the company to make products or provide services that can be sold.

The following table outlines the stakeholders for each of British Airways, John Lewis and World Vision International. It also indicates the level of power each stakeholder represents and the organisations’ interest in them.

Stakeholders are individuals or groups that partake, or assert, possession, privileges, or benefits in a, organization and its accomplishments, previously currently, and in the upcoming (Barrett, 2001). These requested privileges or benefits are the result of communications with, or activities reserved by the organization, and they must be lawful or ethical, separate or combined Stakeholders with comparable benefits, entitlements, or privileges can be categorized as fitting into the similar collection: personnel, investors, and clients (Barrett, 2001).

This paper will cover information about Hawaiian airlines. Founded in 1929, now in its 87th year of consecutive service, Hawaiian Airlines is Hawai 'i 's biggest and longest-serving airline, as well as the largest provider of passenger air service from its primary visitor markets on the U.S. mainland. Specifically, research to describe the airline, its aircraft fleet, route structure and number of employees will be provided. Information to determine whether Hawaiian airlines is organized as a corporation with private ownership or is owned by the national government will be given and discussed. Also, a brief description of the governmental agency or authority responsible for regulation of safety, as well as the certification requirements and minimum flight time for the commercial airline flight deck crewmembers. The governmental agency or authority that is empowered to regulate the routes flown, rates charged, and other economic aspects of the airline’s flight operations will be identified and discussed. Information will be given on the extent to which the airline’s fleet consists of owned vs. leased aircraft. All accidents involving an aircraft operated by that airline since 1/01/2000 will be identified to include the probable cause of each. Lastly, labor relationships of the airline’s pilots and maintenance personnel based in the airline’s home nation will be discussed; plus, any

The first stakeholder I am going to evaluate is customers which are external stakeholders. Customers contribute to profit levels and turnover through buying products and services. People are stakeholders in a company for financial reasons, customers do not want to have to spend an excessive amount of money to purchase a product, so if the product is cheaper in one store, such as Tesco, than in another store then customers will buy the cheaper one which then attracts more customers.

Increase in current liabilities Substantial increase in current liabilities weakened the company’s liquidity position. Its current liabilities were US$2,063.94 million at the end of FY2010, a 48.09% increase compared to the previous year. However, its current assets recorded a marginal increase of 25.07% - from US$1,770.02 million at the end of FY2009 to US$2,213.72 million at the end of FY2010. Following this, the company’s current ratio declined from 1.27 at the end of the FY2009 to 1.07 at the end of FY2010. A lower current ratio indicates that the company is in a weak financial position, and it may find it difficult to meet its day-to-day obligations.

The current assets are those which are readily convertible into cash and cash equivalents due to their highly liquid nature and also form part of working capital of the company’s operations. However, the long term assets in contrast are not liquid because since they have a useful life of more than a year and hence their full value cannot be easily realized within

1. There are a few trends in the US airline industry. One is consolidation, wherein existing players merge in an attempt to lower their costs and generate operating synergies. The most recent major merger was the United Continental merger, which is still an ongoing affair, but has created the largest airline in the United States by market share (Martin, 2012). Another trend is towards low-cost carriers. In the US, Southwest has been a long-running success and JetBlue a strong new competitor, but in other countries this business model has proven exceptionally successful. The third major trend is the upward trend in jet fuel prices, and the increasing importance that this puts on hedging fuel prices and capacity management (Hinton, 2011).

American Airlines is looking to expand its market to more wealthy consumers by offering an excusive line of aircraft consisting mostly of first class and business type seating. This new model will be labeled under the title “Elite” and would market routes to and from major city hubs during heavy business traveling hours. American Airlines will position this service as the, “Black Jet” since that would be the standout feature of the aircraft. American can take advantage of its existing market base along with its frequent fliers to sell the experience of a flight experience beyond maximizing passengers. The target motto would be a “flight redefined.” American Airlines Elite would target business, first class, and frequent flying travelers.

The biggest change in Abbott’s balance sheet can be seen in the composition of its asset accounts. In 2006, % of the firm’s assets were current, while 69% were of the long-term variety. In 2010, however, the portion of current assets increased by 7%. This increase in current assets is most visible in cash and short-term investments (4% in 2006 to 9% in 2010) and corresponds with a higher level of uncertainty in today’s economy. The fact that Abbott Laboratories has chosen to increase the value of liquid assets on its balance sheet indicates low returns on long-term investments and a preference of keeping cash on hand rather than reinvesting in the business.

This is a big increase from 2011, which had $52,758,000 in current assets, a total increase of $7,696,000. The bulk of this increase is due to net receivables, which could be the result from selling advertising space on credit or one of the many products Google offers. Cash and cash equivalents also had a major jump of $4,795,000, which could be the result from selling phones, advertising, apps, and other cash generating assets Google owns. This is a promising sign to investors because if they can sustain the growth hopefully enough cash will be retained and dividends will be offered.
