1. The Organisational Mission a. A mission statement is a small paragraph of an organisations plan that shows what they want to achieve for the business in the future. I feel it is crucially important for an organisation to have a mission statement as it is vital for the business to plan and set goals that can be achieved. In businesses the goal setting process must be implemented as you should hope to accomplish and achieve your objectives with a target because if there is no target then you cannot measure your success. One of the main characteristics that are a part of an effective mission statement are if the mission statement is unique to your company. If the big brands had the same mission statement it would be pointless, …show more content…
The Business Environment • Identify and detail 2 key challenges that Brexit may present for Ryanair. There are many challenges that Brexit have caused major companies in the UK and Ireland. One of the most important challenges that Ryanair faces is the disruption of their flights: “We fear that should the U.K. leave Open Skies, there may not be sufficient time, or goodwill on both sides, to negotiate a timely replacement bilateral, and this could result in a disruption of flights between the U.K. and Europe for a period of months from April 2019 onwards” (investor.ryanair.com, 2017). This challenge will cause major issues for the company and customers as both will be impacted by Brexit. Ryanair will lose major profits if flights are disrupted and the customers will be affected due to flight cancelations and delays. Ryanair have also threatened to start cancelling some flights if they do not receive clarity from the government before the beginning of 2018. Another impact that Brexit will have on Ryanair is the potential loss of investors: “"Investors should be wary of the risk of negative Brexit developments, or any repeat of last year’s security events at European cities, which could damage consumer confidence, close-in bookings and this FY18 guidance," he added. ” (Rte.ie, 2017). This loss of investors could mean that Ryanair would not have excess capital to put back into the improvement of customer service within the …show more content…

A mission statement express the core purpose of an organization and its reason for existence. Mission statements are vital to an organization because they communicate and set the foundation of the purpose of their existence. They shape the attitudes and behaviors of the members of the organization and the perceptions of the public (Hess, 67).
An article discussing the importance of a mission statement states that a mission statements’ job is to outline the organization’s unique purpose and establish the basis of its values and traits, as well as describe the attitude that is to be expected of those a part of the organization. Furthermore, this philosophical foundation sets the “tone” for physical actions, meaning that the content of the mission statement can determine the behavior of personnel (Hitt & Ireland, 1992).
Some international companies which are established in EU member countries will move their headquarters out of UK. In addition, UK will lose a high level foreign direct investment. Since some of EU based companies, or companies that do large amounts of business with Europe, are very likely to move their headquarters back into the EU, it will make UK gain much less tax revenues. Some people may argue that right now, EU’s economy is not promising either, especially with lots of refugees, unemployment people and Greek financial crisis, leaving EU may be a better choice. However, they failed to see that leaving EU will bring a big shock to he financial market, too. After the announcement of Brexit, the British Pounds hit thirty one year low versus American Dollars. More than one hundred billion pounds wiped off FTSE 100. UK taxpayers lost eight billion pounds on RBS. UK also lost AAA rating. Clearly it’s a nightmare for the entire financial market, and there’s no promise when the market will become stable.

We can also identify the weaknesses of Ryanair in accordance to scientific management. From what we have previously discussed in the essay we now know that there are a few points from Douglas McGregor’s theory X that can relate to scientific management. However these key points also have influences on Ryanair, which can come across as
Government Support: - Boeing might seek government intervention in preventing Airbus from being able to sell to American airline companies thereby reducing the market availability for Airbus. But this could prove counter productive for Boeing as EC governments may retaliate in a similar manner
Ryanair is Europe’s largest low-fares, no-frills short-haul carrier. The organisation was founded in 1985 as a conventional airline but re-launched itself in 1990/1991 as a low-cost carrier, replicating American Southwest Airlines’ business model. Since then Ryanair has grown substantially and successfully. The company currently has 146 routes to 84 destinations in 16 countries, and carries more than 15 million customers annually. Ryanair aims to be Europe’s largest airline in 8 years (www.ryanair.com).
With high competition, it caused flight prices to decline by 35 percent since the Airline Deregulation Act.[5] The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 has increased competition in the industry and made it easier for newcomers to enter the market. As a result, many airline carriers have competed with flight prices and have experienced an increase in bankruptcies and mergers. [2] “…the airline industry succeeded in (1) increasing productivity, (2) reducing average fare, and (3) increasing the frequency of airline service to most cities.” [2, Page 135] Although the Airline Deregulation Act has had positive impacts on the industry, it has also caused substantial threat to the industry, such as higher operation costs and price wars.
The airline industry is very susceptible to changes in the political environment as it has a great bearing on the travel habits of its customers. An unstable political environment causes uncertainty in the minds of the air travellers, regarding travelling to a particular country.

Airline industry is affected by no. of factors such as fuel price fluctuations, high fixed costs, strong influence of external environment and excessive use of marginal costing by carriers. Recessions in the industry tend to last longer, while recovery periods are generally shorter. Over the past nine years, it is observed that industry has made losses for five years and during the profitable years margins were on a lower end. The airlines industry is acutely sensitive to external events such as wars, economic instability, government policies and environmental regulations.
A company’s mission is just a big goal that needs to be accomplished within a certain amount time and should support the company’s overall vision. Within the organizations mission there can be smaller goals which need to be achieved to attain the mission. A mission statement will describe, “the purpose of the company, and/or what the company strives to do” by a certain time. (Hill, Jones, & Schilling, 2015). “A mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how it aims to serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the stakeholders most often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or communities (i.e., in the form of social or environmental impact) can also be discussed” (Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan, 2015). Mission statements are often longer and more in-depth than vision statements and are usually have a shorter time period associated with
a set of organizational goals that are used to operationalize the mission statement and that is specific and cover a well-defined time frame. The Vision organizational goal that suggested powerful and compelling mental images.

This will lead to the limitations on the number of routes the international carriers fly, flight schedules, fares, etc. The past five years witnessed an increase in the cost of fuel, leading many airlines into bankruptcies, which resulted in consequences such as the $30 billion loss faced by the US airline industry as estimated by the US Airport Transport Association. One of the major political factor of globalization that affected airline industry was 9/11. In order to deter future terrorist threats, several security rules and regulations were enforced, which led to the increased cost of aviation operators to administer the fundamental training and personnel to follow these rules. Additionally, the post 9/11 period saw a decline in passenger and consumer requirements, negatively affecting the airline profits. There was a revenue drop of dollar 22 billion and three years were taken to recover them. But these revenues were dropped by 14% during the global financial crisis during the years 2008 and 2009, which was reclaimed to a large extend in the following year. The 9/11 period brought forward a huge global impact such as decline in traffic, revenues and profitability, increase in oil price and bankruptcies,
It is clear that talks about Brexit will not end quickly, and most important question is, what will happen in future. Well it could be claimed that is three different endings how this situation could end. Firstly one of the scenario is that Brexit happened and the U.K. completely leaves EU. In that case firstly British currency, the pound sterling, will fall down even more, than in the start after referendum. Also it will have consequences not only in Britain but also in the hole world, for example , some other countries, will see how Britain left European Union, and they will also will spoke to leave EU. So British leaving EU will have wide ranging repercussions on the other countries who look into EU skeptically also it will help Euro-skeptic
