BTP2 focuses on detailed project and procedure to enchant on the mastery of BTP 1. 2. 0Introduction to Case Study This report will talk of and analyze the positioning of Malaysia Airlines.The key objectives are to identify the current commercialise situation as well as analyzing the Business Turnaround send off 1 and Business Turnaround Plan 2 and its success or failure as well as providing some recommendation for next sustainability. 3. 0Assessment on Business Turnaround Plan 1 (BTP1) 3. 1Financial Analysis During the murder of BTP1 (2006 &20 07), the direct profit recorded high. Based on the computation of MAS ratio as shown in Exhibit 1. 2, BTP1 period shows a favorable ratio as compared to other year. Based on efficiency ratio, there is rum increase in the ratio in 2006.It measures how effectively the firm is managing its assets in generating the sales, and it is referable to increase in operating profit. The gearing ratio as per Exhibit 1. 5 show a slight dipped in 2006, however recovers in 2007 due to sale of the headquarters building. Exhibit 1. 7 favors greatly to MAS as the cash flows increase in 2006 and 2007 show near 4 million of cash flows due to issues of shares and selling off the building. Overall, financial analysis during BTP1 period shows favorable impact financially to MAS, however does not improves continuously during period in which BTP2 commence. . 2SWOT Analysis (BTP1) Strength By initiating Mutual Separation Scheme, it emphasis on increasing staff efficiency, cutting implement routes leads to a focus on divine services and network structures that were profitable. The intention to widen with MasWings and Firefly promotes large scope for market. Weaknesses The BTP1 initiative focuses on the financial aspect, since they lay down to recover from massive losses previously. The extreme cost reduction top executive impact the service indirectly, or being too financial-focus, BTP1 merely accepted the non financial aspect.The decision also largely attrisolelyed to gaining quick cash to work up the liquidity problems ie from the selling off the building. Whilst it squirt become their advantage, but by diversifying, because MAS itself in a shaky farming, thus by diversifying, it overleap focus as well as imposing larger operating cost for MAS as a whole. Opportunity Connell (2006) comments that medical tourism has been a success in Asia especially and has prompted global interest, with the increasing in gross domestic product worldwide including Malaysia, as well as emergi ng worldwide captivation with travelling, thus it can be taken as a mechanism for Malaysia Airlines to expand their customer.This BTP1 plan can become the turnaround aspect financially and non-financially. Threat Even AirAsia is seen as Mas biggest threat, however, seeing that how both of these airlines promotes entirely unlike packages and offerings, Mas deemed these few obstacles as their main threat, which is the volatility of fuel price due to Iraq invasion by US, staff resistance of given plan and government intervention in setting up boundaries for the CEO to act wherefore to what they thinks fit. 3. 3BTP1 Turnaround AnalysisBTP1 Turnaround Analysis will be done base on the core strategies in which BTP1 proposed (in which two important aspects are save elaborated). First is by financing and aligning the business on the Income Statement. As per financial analysis above mentioned, MAS shows remarkable transformation during this phase. Based on Exhibit 1. 1 the actual perfor mance supersedes the project plan projected a year ahead of time. This is a success due to fares increment, excrement of unprofitable routes and increase in efficiency.Other core strategy is flying to captivate customer and by observing and studying the non-financial aspect during the implementation of BTP1, they conform to in maintaining the customers value. This resulted in MAS receiving 11 non financial-awards during this phase including 5-Star Airline Award, 2006 and 2007 from Skytrax, Best Airline to Asia, 2006, Travel Weekly Globe Award and numerous cabin service awards from Skytrax, Readers Digest and so on. They also encourage mastering operational purity by increasing employees value and efficiency, Unleashing Talents & Capabilities and winning coalition.While it is based on value judgment and rather subjective, however it is proven to be a success referring to relevant articles, audited financial statement and to some extent word of mouth by former and existing employ ee. The efficiency increases as well and can be observed by some of the decision made by Tan Sri Idris Jala which by reducing unprofitable routes, selling of the building in Jalan Raja Chulan, and drastic cost reduction scheme. 4. 0Assessment on Business Turnaround Plan 2 (BTP2)As per financial analysis, most analysis shows an unfavorable financial state during the implementation of BTP2. BTP2 is a more comprehensive, step to step readying in conjunction with the success of BTP1. Referring to Exhibit 1. 10, BTP2 strategize on Breaking brisk Ground (BNG), Gaining New Business (GNB) and Making The Most (MTM). With the current state of Malaysia Airlines and from the analysis gathered financially and non-financially, BTP2 make slight downturn from the success of its previous predecessor. 5. 0Bottlenecks & RecommendationThere are many bottlenecks that lead to diminution of momentum for BTP2 including challenger with AirAsia, stepping down of Tan Sri Idris Jala as CEO, the diversificat ion effects, MAS internal culture and strategies done for(p) awry. In order to gain sustainability, the first is how to capture customer. MAS has been underperform financially due to stagnant and average load factor which in turns profess RRPK & RASK example exhibit 1. 8. Thus, in order to capture the market, MAS have to strategically plan for its marketing approach to attract broader customer and thus larger scale promotion need to be made.They also should assess the hands requirement and sell unnecessary asset. 6. 0Reference 1.
