    About the Book--
    Since deregulation in 1978, airlines have undergone profound changes. And, much has changed since the first edition of this book was published in 1997. In the first decade of the New Millennium, the airlines are in dire straits and stuggling to recover from the worst economic crisis in their entire history. The trauma was brought on by a series of setbacks that began with airline deregulation, followed by a rash of consumer complaints and safety concers, constrained airport capacity resulting in inordinate traffic delays, economic recessions and spikes in oil prices, two wars in the Middle East, and topped off by acts of terrorism around the world and a system now constrained by heightened alert and enhanced security procedures.
    Legacy airlines are facing the possibility of extinction unless they can successfully reorganize to combat a proliferation of low-cost carreirs. Yet the new, low-cost point-to-point model is only a partial answer. As described in this book, the emerging air transportation system is evolving into six principal market niches. Airports, too, are evolving to conform to the carriers that use them. Likewise, the countervailing forces driving the production of aircraft into the future are frequency versus capacity, speed versus efficiency and safety, customer service and cost. Which of these alternatives to pursue is at the heart of the strategic struggle for dominance between Airbus and Boeing.
    This book is a companion volume in an Air Transport Series, comprised of Air Transportation: Foundations for the 21st Centruy, 2nd ed. and Airline Management: Stategies for the 21st Century, 2nd ed. It is the purpose of this series to acquaint the reader with the principal elements of air transportation hsitory, airline economics, business, finance, marketing, regulation, and management--to bring all the essential elements of commercial aviation within the two-volume series.

    Book Description

    This book focuses on the major issues that will affect the airline industry as we enter a new millennium. the future development of "open skies", the cutting of labour costs, the virtual airline, global alliances, state aid and the emergence of low cost operators are analysed with a view to how these phenomena influence the options open to airline managers into the new century.

    3 out of 5 stars Out-of-Date.......2006-06-19

    This is a well written book that is easy to follow and understand by a well known author on the aviation industry. The book describes the topical issues of the airline industry including the ongoing liberalisation and globalization of the industry, the impact of the low-cost carriers on the airline industry in the new millennium, online distribution of airline services, among other things, with a focus on the future of the industry.

    The main weakness of the book is that it was written before the events of 9/11 in the USA and the other major shocks and crisis that confronted the aviation industry including the threat of terrorism, the SARS epidemic, the Iraq War and these and other shocks have made of the predictions by Doganis to be very out-of-date. This book is, therefore, superseded by "The Airline Business" written by the same author, which is the book that I recommend rather this one.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent Overall, Though Troublesome In Places.......2004-09-14

    Rigas Doganis is a brilliant man, and I regard him very highly as an authority on the modern airline industry. This book was originally published in early 2001, and by virtue of predating the terrorist attacks of 9/11 some of the information presented here is a bit outdated. Of course nobody could have accurately predicted the effects of the 9/11 attacks, but there are several other inaccurate predictions in the book as well, most especially the forward looking prediction of fuel prices. There are also several simply incorrect statements presented as fact here. For instance on page 132, Doganis asserts that the key reason that Southwest Airlines is so successful is due to its "low cost, non-union labor." Actually Southwest has some of the highest paid workers in the industry (they are, however, more productive, on average, than those at legacy airlines) and virtually all groups at Southwest are unionized. What is true is that many other low cost carriers do in fact have poorly compensated non-union workers. He also (page 133) alleges that Southwest has three Flight Attendants on a 737-300, whereas most airlines use either five or six. I know of no airline that routinely staffs a 737-300 with that many Flight Attendants (the airplane doesn't even have than many Flight Attendant jumpseats), certainly not in the US.

    Doganis comes out in favor of cabotage and total deregulation of the worldwide industry, which US carriers view as predatory inasmuch as the US domestic market is still the single largest aviation market in the world. The problem with his view is that the US government has for several decades now depended on CRAF (Civil Reserve Air Fleet) aircraft for the majority of its airlift in wartime as a budget cutting measure. By using CRAF for airlift, the USAF needs vastly fewer transport aircraft, saving the government billions of dollars annually. The issue to recognize (which Doganis doesn't even touch on) is that if major airlines come under foreign control, those CRAF aircraft can't be counted on to support the US military. Imagine if French interests controlled one or more major airlines during the latest Iraqi campaign. This is obviously a thorny area that can't be simplistically reduced to the level of analysis that Doganis has reduced it to.

    Doganis has both good and bad moments in this book. In Chapter Five, his obvious pro-management bent (he is a former CEO of Olympic Airways of Greece) blames virtually all monetary problems on the cost of labor while sometimes discounting bad managerial decisions, although to his credit, in other parts of the book he does discuss the pitfalls of bad management. The book is illustrated with many charts, some of which are quite good, but many of which are irrelevant at best and confusing at worst. The section on e-commerce predates the development of Orbitz and is generally out of date, although many of his predictions have thus far been proven correct. In the plus column, he writes brilliantly on the effects of seat commoditization, and (page 174) brilliantly unmasks the whole Priceline.com issue for what it really is.

    This book is a weighty and ponderous read, but I do recommend it to airline and management professionals, particularly those with background in the economics of commercial aviation. This book has its faults, but reading it is still time very well spent.

    5 out of 5 stars Very informative and comprehensive.......2003-02-19

    Outlines all the essentials that an airline executive should know in facing the challenge in the 21st century. It would be more perfect if more details can be raised under e-commerce and airport charges ie. direct and indirect costs.

    5 out of 5 stars Interesting.......2001-04-19

    A good overall explanation of the airline industry as a whole. Very informative and interesting.

      Product Description

      Business Process Improvement Through E-Collaboration: Knowledge Sharing Through the Use of Virtual Groups is written around two main theses. The first is that business process improvement, a key element of the most influential management movements since the 1980s, can itself be considerably improved by the use of information technology. The second is that process improvement affects organizational knowledge sharing in a non-linear way, and that the use of e-collaboration technologies can boost this influence by increasing the breadth and speed of knowledge dissemination in organizations. Business Process Improvement Through E-Collaboration: Knowledge Sharing Through the Use of Virtual Groups discusses key findings in connection with effects of e-collaboration technologies on business process improvement groups, making this book an important tool for academia and businesses everywhere.

        Book Description

        "The more they told us, the more curious and interested we became. They were pulling together insights from fields as diverse as architecture and brain chemistry and applying them to business. They were also incorporating insights from the best business theories around. They seemed to have brought it all together in a completely unique three-day format that sounded challenging, fun, and actually generated solid work product. Could this be real?" - from the author's preface

        Leaping The Abyss: Putting Group Genius To Work is the single most in-depth description and analysis of the patented DesignShop® facilitation methodology invented by the MG Taylor Corporation. Written by two authors who attended a DesignShop event in 1995, Leaping The Abyss provides a detailed step-by-step account of the three-day event, including interviews and anecdotes from participants from a diversity of industries such as healthcare, management consulting, government, military, automotive, food and beverage, education, and high-technology, as well as, a behind the scenes look at how DesignShop experiences are created and the personel who facilitate them. An extensive bibliography, dozens of web links, illustrations, tips and suggested exercises with each chapter offer the reader a great source of new ideas for facilitating the creative process within their own work place.

        4 out of 5 stars A Book for Facilitators Who Are Ready to "Upgrade".......2006-02-11

        This book, though not all that widely known, is a gem. It contains a good portion of the thinking and techniques behind the MG Taylor DesignShops, which meld environment, senses, and facilitation into an intense and rewarding experience.

        If you are a facilitator, particularly one that routine works with groups struggling with major, complex decisions, and want some new tools for your practice, then this is the book for you. The ideas you will get from here may result in you forming new ones, which in an ironic way would be exactly what the innovators of this method might want!

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent for Facilitation of Future Alternative analysis.......1999-10-10

        Reading this excellent book on the approach involved, provided me, a Facilitation Change Management consultant, with many new and fascinating ideas for improving the work often required to move groups, companies and organizations into the future.

        The book is written in an easy readable style and provides a great source for new ideas and how the process can and does provide the client new and successful strategies for action, based on the talents and resources inherent in the group.

        There is something very powerful represented herein and I strongly recommend others in the field of strategic planning and work with groups exploring new directions for the future. There is power within groups, a hidden opportunity to build a team of dynamic commitment to a future effort within a company or organization.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......1999-05-03

        This is one of the most impressive and exciting and practical books on group creativity I've read and used. Make sure you check out their web sites.

                      Book Description

                      Inside the Minds: Political Powerhouses is the most authoritative book ever written on the intraciacies, opportunities and the impact of doing business in the nation's capital. Featuring lobbyists and lawyers representing some of the nation's top firms, Presidents and Directors of Political Action Committees and advocacy groups, as well as other influential voices, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of how Washington works. From the steps involved in making policy and advice around getting heard on Capitol Hill, to the particulars of lawyering in Washington and the interplay between business and politics, authors articulate the finer points around politics now, and what will hold true into the future. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds in Washington as experts from all sides offer up their thoughts around the keys to success inside the Beltway.
