Can long-haul low-cost airlines be successful?

A key question is whether the very successful, largely short-haul LCC business model can work over long-haul sectors? This paper compares the cost and other advantages of LCCs and evaluates how far they might be applied to long-haul sectors. It is estimated that cost advantages might be much lower than the 50-60% on short-hauls. Other factors such as the adoption by network airlines of some LCC features and their likely competitive response, the limited potential for market stimulation, the need for dense markets and feed traffic all combine to cast doubt on the widespread establishment of the business model for long-haul flights.     

Strategic re-thinking in shipping companies

This article proposes a framework for how successful shipping companies can develop strategies for growth and take advantage of business opportunities. It is essential to strengthen strategy implementation to trigger faster, internallygenerated and profitable business growth. Formal planning and control systems, as they traditionally exist in shipping companies, need to be modified to allow for such growth. The forward-thinkers, the truly dynamic companies, will be able to perceive business opportunities before anyone else, mobilize their people, and implement the necessary strategies. In doing so, a balance must be struck between the everyday and visionary focus, between the top-down and bottom-up focus, between the business and corporate portfolio focus. Shipping companies can learn from the example of the progressive business leaders in other fields, capitalizing on their way to succeed and grow, by developing a dual capability to 'see' new opportunities and to 'mobilize' the relevant organizational resources to implement these. Examples from successful shipping companies are provided.

新导航概念：连线导航

最近的热点话题：连线导航（Connected Navigation）。在大家的讨论中，“连线”指的是以有通信功能的SIM卡为基础，通过实时双向连线，让用户得到实时动态信息。譬如道路拥挤状况、天气预报等。目前导航厂家们忽略了深入思考：连线导航应用是否是车主用户所需要的？导航仪上必须有无线通信（Telematic）的功能，才能接收实时交通信息。且不论车主们是否愿意为此功能付费，那些已有导航仪的车主是否愿意再买一台有通信功能的导航仪，     

中国动态交通信息服务如何才有出路？

虽然中国导航电子地图及导航市场迅猛发展，动态交通信息服务已提上议事日程，但发展仅集中于中国几个重点城市，且信息资源缺乏整合，行业分工不明确，一直未出现全国统一标准的交通信息服务者，服务质量难以满足市场需求。在纷杂混乱的局面下，中国动态交通信息服务如何才有出路？本人有以下一些考虑：     

走出导航电子地图“活”得如何？

电子地图走进中国人们的生活，是伴随着GPS汽车导航而来的。经过几年的发展，电子地图的应用，已经远远超出了汽车导航的范围，逐渐渗透到通讯、网络、数码IT、救援监控等领域。那么，离开汽车导航产业的电子地图，又生存得如何呢？ “网络电子地图搜索”的火爆程度不亚于汽车导航，很多网友即使没有经常使用，但肯定使用过或知道网络电子地图搜索。
