Book excerpt: 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.

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 linkages in the airline’s value chain and their resource base will be analysed, considering Hamel and Prahalad’s (1990) core competency model (inside-out approach). In section 2, the future challenges of the airline are considered. Ryanair’s strengths and weaknesses will be analysed, internal value creating factors such as assets, skills or resources, to consider how the airline can create alignment to its opportunities and threats, external factors. An stronger “outside – in” approach for Ryanair’s future corporate strategy will be considered, applying Porter’s five forces model, placing the market, the competition, and the customer at the starting point of the strategy process.

This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 78.00, , course: LRPM, language: English, abstract: This report seeks to develop a strategic plan for Ryanair to enable it gain a competitive advantage, and sustain its growth in the midst of emerging and unique challenges in the operational environment. Ryanair was established in 1985 by Tony Ryan, Liam Lonergan, and Christopher Ryan. Initially, the flight started with a small carrying capacity but gradually expanded following the development of conducive operational environment. In particular, Ryanair experienced tremendous growth in 1992, following the deregulation of the airline industry in the EU. This company seized the opportunity to expand and overtook the British Airways and Aer Lingus in 1995. Ryanair also exploited the technological advancements in 2000 by launching a website and ensured more than three quarters of its bookings were made via the company’s website. Nonetheless, Ryanair recorded a significant degree of financial losses in 2003 for the first time in a decade. This was followed by quick interventions which saw Ryanair explore new routes especially in the Eastern Europe. Notably, Ryanair’s growth has been impressive over the last few decades, especially between 1985 and 2011. However, the airline company has experienced turbulent forces in the last few decades as illustrated by financial losses reported in 2003, and recently in 2009.

This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 73% (very good), Bournemouth University (Media School), course: Strategic Marketing, language: English, abstract: Creating a sustainable marketing strategy for Ryanair means to organise its future. To plan the future one has to know the present in a broader perspective. This is the starting point of an environmental analysis, which identifies the internal and external parameters of the particular environment an organisation is operating in (Drohan, 1997) and translates it into useful plans and decisions (Albright, 2004). The environmental analysis gives Ryanair the opportunity to identify the main factors affecting the industry it is operating in and to find its opportunities and capabilities. Above all it is important to answer the question “What business are we in?” by defining the industry the organisation is competing in since this gives the opportunity to identify competitive advantages relatively to others (Kay, 1993). Ryanair is positioned as being in the European low-budget airline industry. This creates a competitor group consisting of other European no- frills airlines and low-budget sub brands of traditional airlines but excludes full-service airlines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Northumbria University, course: Strategic Management and Leadership, language: English, abstract: Japan Airlines Corporation (JAL) is the leading full-service airline in Asia operating in the domestic and international passenger air-transport industry. However, in 2009 JAL's financial situation is alarming. 2009 was completed by a ¥51bn operating loss, representing a decrease of ¥140bn from previous year. In comparison, JAL's major competitor All Nippon Airways manages to stay in the black. This means JAL's competitive position is clearly in danger. Even worse - if JAL does not find a new strategic option immediately they are in danger of going bankrupt soon. This paper intends to find such a strategic option to guarantee future success of the airline. A thorough strategic analysis including an internal and external analysis is used to find out the key strategic issues. Afterwards three possible strategic options are discussed. The most promising option is put forward and its implementation issues are thoroughly discussed.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,7, course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: Ryanair is Europe's leading low cost airline and offers the lowest fares on the airline market. But the question is how the small Irish company can count 103,000,000 international passengers in the fiscal year 2015, only 30 years after having been established. Why does Ryanair have a high recognition value for its brand, despite doing the advertising in-house and distributing only by using online channels? What is more, Ryanair does not offer customer loyalty programs, they do not have free drinks or food on-board; they even do not need external cleansing power for their fleet. And why no other low cost airline, like Easyjet or Lufthansa's subsidiary Germanwings, overtook Ryanair's competitive advantage to set the prices on the market? Actually they tried, but it still not working. What is so unique about the Irish Airline and how successful they compete with the airlines until today, will be demonstrated further in this assignment using the SWOT analysis.

Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 20. 00, Canterbury Christ Church University, course: Study Bussines with Foundation BA(HONS), language: English, abstract: The present study case pretend to be a very deep and clear analysis of the most important points into the Ryanair airline company business. Taking a look in the history of this airline it can be discovered that it was founded in 1984 as “Daren Enterprises“, by Cristopher Ryan, Liam Lonergam, the owner of irish travel agent from Club Travel agency and the irish bussines man Tony Ryan the founder of Guinness Peat Aviation, airline wich was shortly renamed “Ryanair”. As can be easily observed this business has been started like a family business and very amazing thing was this business it was started with 1 £ share capital and 25 employees. First launched route was in July 1986 with a daily flight and a small aircraft of just 15 seats. It was just one operation line from Waterford, from southeast of Ireland to London Gatwick. Over the years this small company has developed so strongly that it has come to operate over 240 destinations in 40 countries on a fleet of 470 aircrafts and has a team of over 17000 employees. This rise has led to the company performance to become one of the top budget airlines in Europe. The inspired management of the leaders, as well the right decisions made by the leaders and the good organisation of the bussines resulted in the overwhelming success of a small family business that became a strong company in the market. In the following chapters will be explained the steps and the strategies adopted to rich this target of success in business.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of the report is to undertake a situational analysis of Ryanair. The situational analysis will be undertaken through the use of models and frameworks such as STEEPLE, Porter's Five Forces model, McKinsey’s 7S framework and SWOT analysis. Thereafter, the challenges facing Ryanair will be explored. Secondly, the report will provide a logical and clear strategic plan that is linked to the findings of the situational analysis. The strategic plan will be developed to assist Ryanair to keep a competitive advantage and achieve the strategic objectives of the company. Ryanair is an Irish low-cost airline that was founded in 1984. In the 1st year of operation of the airline, over five thousand customers travelled between Ireland and London. By 1989, over 600,000 passengers were travelling via Ryanair. In the initial 4 years of the operation of the company, the company made a combined loss of £20 million. The management of the company changed in 1990 when Michael O’Leary was appointed as the CEO. O’Leary made several changes to Ryanair thus adopting a no-frills operational model as well as the reduction of the routes. In the next 6 years, the fleet was increased to over 21 leading to an increase in customers due to the low prices. Following the deregulation of EU air transportation regulations that restricted the low pricing policy of the firm, the firm took advantage and was able to increase its profitability and market share in low-cost airlines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 2,0, Lund University, language: English, abstract: The European airline industry has historically been dominated by national carriers like British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France, whose aggregate share of intra European routes was about 70 percent by the end of 1998. But from 1990 a rising share of the market started to migrate to the budget carriers because of the deregulation policy of the EU. This essay contains an analysis of the European airline industry as a part of the transportation industry at the beginning of 1999 with a special emphasis on the budget sector. In that sector, one of the most famous and successful budget carriers, Ryanair, will be contemplated with regard to its strategy and its strengths and weaknesses. Finally, a short summary will be done about what happened in the European airline industry between 1999 and 2003.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: B+, Cardiff University (University), language: English, abstract: Just a few years ago Ryanair was a tiny, impoverished Irish airline trying unsuccessfully to compete with Aer Lingus using a handful of elderly turboprop planes. In 2003 its share price is so high the company is worth more than British Airways, and with the unlikely business model of selling seats for as little as 99 Pence for the privilege of flying to airports perhaps fifty miles outside the cities they purport to serve, Ryanair has become the most profitable airline in Europe. It is also an airline whose phenomenal success has never been too far from controversy, whether it is its militant lack of sympathy for its passengers when their flight is delayed or cancelled, its robust approach to industrial relations, or indeed the industrial language favoured by its charismatic and buccaneering chief executive, Michael O′Leary. (Creaton, 2005) The following questions will critically evaluate the Ryanair phenomenon and its future prospects with taking the European airline industry into consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1, Pforzheim University, language: English, abstract: This study looks at external and internal key influences of the environment of the Ryanair Company. This is as a first step important to come up with strategies, which Ryanair could take to stay as successful as they are right now. The first chapter starts with an analysis (PESTEL) of the external environment (macro-environmental), which includes all the external factors such as economic, political, legal, technological, ecological and sociocultural, that can exert direct and indirect pressure on both domestic and international marketing activities. The second chapter goes on with a critical evaluation of the firm’s current and anticipated internal environment (micro-environmental) with respect to its objectives and performance, allocation of resources, structural characteristics, and political power. Therefore the SWOT Analysis is used as well as the Value Chain Analysis. The last point in this part is the identification of core competencies of Ryanair. Furthermore the Porter’s Five Forces Method is used for identifying the market structure in which Ryanair is operating. The Competitor Analysis follows this. Finally, the last section gives a brief summary with important concluding remarks. What has to be stated is that in the following 15 pages just a rough overview of the main points of this assignment is given. Further details are important to evaluate everything and this is given in the appendix.
