    Cathay Pacific implemented outsourcing of nonstrategic functions to contractors with their own individual vertical specialization so that Cathay can focus on its core aviation competencies. Outsourcing was bridging gap between the IM department and business side. “Systems development and Support” was changed to “System Delivery” as it started to focus on delivering IT systems to business units rather than writing code and developing applications so that systems can be delivered faster with less cost and reduced risks. Cathay’s networks were outsourced to SITA to provide global linkage among carriers. Sabre Airline Solutions provided software applications and services for the airline industry. IBM Global services managed mainframes and provided systems and asset management in addition to standard technical and recovery services. Data Center operations were outsourced to Australia for cheap real estate rates. Desktop maintenance and management was outsourced to IBM. However, company chose to not outsource maintenance of legacy applications until 2010. Systems Delivery was handled by Cathay to maintain carrier’s applications. IT planning an architecture work remained with Cathay to act as middlemen between suppliers and Cathay employees. It also kept on management of outport workstations with Cathay as it would not improve service level or reduce cost to outsource this.…

    The first political factors is export control. In the recent years, the operation costs of Cathay Pacific have risen continuously. This year, Cathay pacific has recorded the decrease in profit by over 80%. The main reason causing the plunging of profit is the high fuel price. OPEC is the organization to protect the profit of the petroleum exporting countries. It consists of 12 countries and those countries produce 40% of the world total crude oil production. In order to maximize the return of exporting petroleum and protect important natural resource, OPEC restricts the total quantity of petroleum exportation. This a kind of supplier functions. Since petroleum is necessary, the growth in demand of petroleum is larger than the growth of supply. Also, OPEC refuses to increase the quantity of crude oil exportation to meet the demand. For the above reasons, the price of petroleum has increased unreasonably. The abnormal fuel price has done great damage to Cathay Pacific and also the airline in the world.…

    I'm the kind of woman who'd rather book a hotel stay than buy a gold necklace. I'd choose food in a fancy restaurant over a new pair of shoes. And I'd rather spend thousands for a plane ticket rather than a designer bag! :) But I'm no big spender! Most of the hotel stays, dine-outs and plane tickets were on promotional offers. I think that explains why I went crazy over Cebu Pacific Airline's "You say Dubai, I say Hello" advertisement. Who doesn't love cheap airfares? I was so overjoyed! I told everyone at work about it, shared the ad on my Facebook Timeline and I even sent a message to my mom! –…
