Table of Contents {text:bookmark-start} Definning e-commerce {text:bookmark-end} There are nearly as many definitions of e-commerce as there are contributions to the literature.

E-commerce is a “disruptive” innovation that is radically changing the way organizations do business (Macgregor and Vrazalic, 2007). In other words a organization who do majority of their sales via internet, electronic procurement and electronic payment. As in the given case of RYANAIR AIRLINES. {text:bookmark-start} Ryanair Airlines in brief {text:bookmark-end} In January 2000, Ryanair introduced Europe`s largest travel website-www.ryanair.com. And within three months the site was recording 50000 bookings per week. The website also facilitated car and hotel rentals, rail service and travel insurance. Comparing the bookings profiles of Ryanair with its industry competitor, Aer Lingus,77.9% of booking were done on website whereas Aer Lingus bookings on website was 58.1%. Source: (Nuts Southwest Airlines) {text:bookmark-start} Macro-Environmental Factors {text:bookmark-end} Sociocultural Issues Ryanair`s ratio of passenger per employee was 4035, which compares with Southwest passenger per employee of 2035. A primary factor contributing to Ryanair higher number of passenger per employee is subcontracting of ground handling activities to independent contractors at all airports other then Dublin. Also Ryanair is in the third year of its stock option pragramme where it offers its employees stock options and other rights to purchase ordinary shares. All staff is benefited from extensive travel concessions in Ryanair and discounted travel with other carrier. {text:bookmark-start} Technological Issues {text:bookmark-end} To keep up, the airlines are transforming itself ticketless

    The Internet has changed the way that we perceive business and the way that we as consumers may make our purchases. In fact, the online consumer today knows the convenience of purchasing a book online and having it delivered to their door in a matter of a few days. There is no more need to fight crowds, find a parking spot, and deal with traffic. The high street and mail order systems still have a place in the mix of purchase routes; however it is no longer the only method of making purchases. The Internet revolution has seen a massive increase in the long distance purchases made by consumers, as geographical barriers are no longer as important as they were. The lack of geographical importance has influenced the strategy of Internet companies. One of the first companies that took advantage of this was the online bookshop Amazon.com.…

    Case Study 2

    Web based commerce and internet technology have dramatically transformed the airline industry throughout the past thirteen years. The internet has enabled travelers to bypass the traditional distribution pattern of travel agencies and enabled airlines to sell more directly to passengers (European Commission, 2006). Since the mid-1990s there have been some major changes to the airline ticket distribution industry which were both a result of internet technologies (GAO, 2003). Major U.S. Airlines claimed a net operating loss of nearly $10 billion in 2002 and had paid over $7 billion to distribute tickets to consumers (GAO, 2013). These distribution expenses include booking fees to global distributions system to the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars (GAO, 2003).…

    Ryanair Analysis and Strategic Recommendation

    Ryanair is one of the largest and still fastest growing low-fares airline companies in Europe. Led by CEO Michael O’Leary, a diverse board of directors, and an experienced top management, Ryanair has been very successful following a cost leadership strategy, partially achieved by a “no-frills” service strategy. External influences such as the European economic crisis, aviation deregulation, and rising oil prices have created opportunities or threats to Ryanair, and internal weaknesses such as unethical behavior have created issues as well. To address this, our team has created two recommendations for strategic change: correct unethical behavior and develop customer loyalty. Little new resources need to be acquired to make these changes; the largest obstacle to achieving them is to persuade the top management and board of directors that this is the correct new direction.…

    Raynair Business Model

    Raynair Business Model

    In November of last year, Air Scoop published its first ever report on Ryanair’s Business Model. The report was based on extensive research into the underlying mechanics of the most disruptive lowcost airline in Europe. It was also an attempt at drawing an exhaustive picture of the airline’s development up until 2010, meant to serve, for years to come, as a reference work. This year, Air Scoop is publishing an updated report on Ryanair’s Business Model, with a new task in mind. Starting from what was built last year, the 2011 Ryanair report has been conceived with a double objective in mind: to provide readers with a brief, compelling, synthesis of Ryanair’s business model and highlight new elements and evolutions in Ryanair’s skies. In no way is that report intended as a replacement of the one published last year, rather as a complement that should provide anyone interested in the European low-cost industry with a wealth of information on the market’s most important company. Conceptually, the 2011 report was elaborated along two different axis of analysis. In a first part, the report starts by taking a look at Ryanair’s revenues and expenses. According to the company itself, if Ryanair has grown so fast, it is thanks to an efficient mix of ever increasing sources of income and ever wider cost-cutting measures in all services. For this reason, the 2011 report looks, item by item, at Ryanair’s cost-cutting, profit-maximising strategies. From the most discussed to the lesser known tactics, the goal is to show how Ryanair has managed and still manages to constantly extract increasing income from its passengers while maintaining rock-bottom prices, through a relatively complex fare system and a slew of ancillary services. The report also investigates Ryanair’s largely misunderstood relationship with its own assets and…
