  • Company Culture Drives Productivity
    COMPANY CULTURE DRIVES PRODUCTIVITY: A STUDY ON HOW COMPANY CULTURE IMPACTS THE BOTTOM LINE By Matthew Imaizumi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Entrepreneurial Management. Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas 8 May 2017 COMPANY CULTURE DRIVES PRODUCTIVITY: A STUDY ON HOW COMPANY CULTURE IMPACTS THE BOTTOM LINE Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Homer, Erekson, Ph. D. Department: Dean of Neeley School of Business Stacy, Grau, Ph. D. Department of Marketing ABSTRACT This study of company culture and its impact on the bottom line of an organization begins with an analysis of the Service Profit Chain. The Service Profit Chain is a management theory that develops a quantifiable set of relationships that directly link profit and revenue growth to not only customer loyalty and satisfaction, but to employee loyalty, satisfaction, and productivity (Heskett 1997). The crux of the theory rests on the ability of a company to create a culture and workplace that is designed to satisfy and empower employees to perform at their highest ability. This study then progresses into a case analysis of Southwest Airlines to show how a company can benefit financially by successfully creating a culture that empowers its employees and follows the model set forth by the Service Profit Chain. The heart of this study is to show that culture is not an aspect of a business that should be written off, but rather, a momentous factor that can lead to more satisfied and productive employees

  • David Neeleman
    David Neeleman David Neeleman is that rarest of entrepreneurs, a man who has created and launched four successful, independent airlines, including the USA’s JetBlue and Morris Air, Canada’s WestJet and Brazil’s Azul. Azul, just seven years old, has already boarded tens of millions of customers. Born in Brazil while his father was Reuter’s São Paulo Bureau Chief, David has always had a deep love for the country. After his family moved to Utah while he was still a child, David would return to Brazil many times throughout his life. A dual citizen, David today relishes the dream before him to make flying cheaper and easier for Brazilians, giving access to air travel for many who have never experienced the opportunity before. Azul serves more than 100 destinations with an operating fleet of more than 140 aircraft, including Brazilian-built Embraer E-190 and E-195 jets, and ATR-72s. Just as JetBlue in the US before it, Azul is the first airline in Latin America to offer LiveTV inflight TV programming via satellite. It has been named Best Low Cost Airline in South America for the last five years at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. In June 2015, it was announced that the Gateway consortium, led by David, had won the bidding to acquire a stake in Portugal’s national carrier TAP. Gateway’s investment represents 50% of the airline. With the new investment, TAP is taking delivery of A330s and inaugurated new daily service from both Boston’s Logan airport and New York’s John F Kennedy International in June and July, respectively.

  • Winning the Oil Endgame: Innovation for Profits, Jobs, and Security Oil Dependence
    “We’ve embarked on the beginning of the Last Days of the Age of Oil. Nations of the world that are striving to modernize will make choices different from the ones we have made. They will have to. And even today’s industrial powers will shift energy use patterns....[T]he market share for carbon-rich fuels will diminish, as the demand for other forms of energy grows. And energy companies have a choice: to embrace the future and recognize the growing demand for a wide array of fuels; or ignore reality, and slowly—but surely—be left behind.” —Mike Bowlin, Chairman and CEO, ARCO, and Chairman, American Petroleum Institute, 9 Feb. 1999 1 “My personal opinion is that we are at the peak of the oil age and at the same time the begin- ning of the hydrogen age. Anything else is an interim solution in my view. The transition will be very messy, and will take many and diverse competing technological paths, but the long- term future will be in hydrogen and fuel cells.” —Herman Kuipers, Business Team Manager, Innovation & Research, Shell Global Solutions, 1. Bowlin 1999. 21 Nov. 2000 2 2. Kuipers 2000. “The days of the traditional oil company are numbered, in part because of emerging technolo- gies such as fuel cells....” 3. Bijur, undated. — Peter I.
