The Total Quality Management (TQM) philosophy of management is customer-oriented. Hence, the airline operations must be developed in order to steadily deal with the improvement of their operation through the ongoing participation of all employees in problem solving efforts across functional and hierarchical boundaries. TQM incorporates the concepts of service quality, process management, quality assertion, and quality perfection. Consequently, the airline company must be able to control all transformation processes with regards to their operations and services to better satisfy customer needs in the most economical way.
In order to apply the TQM to Ryanair especially to be used in its airline operations and services, the management of the airline company must be able to accept the whole concept of the improvement, which means that all the people of the airline company must agree that there is a need for a total transformation especially for the quality of operations and services that the industry will be offered. Furthermore, the management should be willing to participate to all the improvement, value each and every ones opinion in order to achieve total quality management and provide a total quality operations and services to satisfy their customers. Managers and experts disagree about how to effectively implement Total Quality Management to their organisations.
Eventually, customer satisfaction has always been regarded as the driving force behind quality improvement; others suggest quality management is achieved by internal productivity or cost improvement programs. In other applications, Total Quality Management is regarded as a technique to introduce the context of participative type of management (Schlenker, 1998). Thus, the management should be more straightforward to provide the potential role of applying the Total Quality Management to their operations and services.
In addition, since Total quality management is based on internal or self-control, which is embedded in every element of the work system (technology and people), the employees or the people behind the operation and services being offered to the passengers and customers of the airline must be able to determine the problems beforehand, to anticipate its occurrences.
Pushing problem solving and decision-making down in the Ryanair especially to their operations and services may allow people who do the work to both assess and take remedial action in order to deliver an operation or service that meets the needs of their customer. In applying total quality management to airline operations, they must be able to combine it with the core strategy of the industries; this does not mean that such airline companies must have total changes. It is important that in application of the Total Quality Management to the Ryanair operations and services they must also consider that an appropriate strategy should be used in order to employ a total quality operations and services that would satisfy all clients and customers.
The latest survey conducted by GfK Marktforschung on the sales impact and success factors of TV advertising
A recent survey conducted by GfK Marktforschung investigated the sales impact and success factors of TV commercials. The long-term analysis shows that the impact of TV advertising has not fallen over the past few years.
In a recent survey, GfK Marktforschung investigated more than 160 TV advertising campaigns for fast moving consumer goods. In order to measure sales success, the purchases made by a test group of households, where the test commercials were integrated into a television program, were compared with a control group. The households of the latter group exhibited comparable purchasing behavior, but were not exposed to the test commercials.
Over the past 20 years, the tested TV ad campaigns have generated an average 20% increase in market share in comparison to that of the control group. This rise was primarily generated because the number of customers also increased by approximately 20%. An analysis of test results between 2001 and 2011, shows that the average sales impact of TV commercials has remained stable.
However, the long-term comparison of 20 years also shows that the best TV spots over the past decade generated smaller increases in market share and penetration and were not able to maintain the success of the best TV campaigns of the earlier decade.
Then again, an analysis of the tests from the past five years shows that the trend has meanwhile abated and that the top campaigns are now again able to deliver stable results. The minor slump which occurred around 10 years ago can be attributed to the diversification of the advertising landscape and a growing online ad share.
Consequently, the average sales impact of TV advertising has remained constant over the last 20 years, and only the top campaigns suffered slight dips in their sales impact around a decade ago and have since stabilized. This clearly invalidates the common theory that the impact of TV commercials is falling in the long term.
Budget is decisive for the success of TV campaigns
An analysis of the effect of TV commercials in relation to the overall exerted advertising pressure shows that the average market share in terms of volume rises concurrently with increases in advertising pressure, and this only diminishes when advertising pressure reaches its apex. A similar trend emerges for penetration.
Of the TV campaigns tested in the survey, 81% recorded a significant increase in market share. And of these, 73% ran other ad campaigns that generated at least an average uplift. Despite a below-average advertising budget, 27% recorded above-average success. On the other hand, 19% of the tested campaigns did not generate significant sales impact. For 72% of these campaigns this was attributable to a below-average budget for TV commercials. However, 28% of the unsuccessful campaigns had no less than average financial resources.
This analysis therefore demonstrates that both the budget for television advertising and advertising pressure have the greatest impact on market share and penetration. However, other influencing factors, such as creativity and an ad campaign’s message, certainly also play an important role.
