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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: B+, Cardiff University (University), 29 entries in the bibliography, 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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1, Pforzheim University, 40 entries in the bibliography, 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.

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. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
