  • Case Fifteen
    AGFC15 16/12/2004 17:16 Page 120 case fifteen Richard Branson and the Virgin Group of Companies in 2004 TEACHING NOTE SYNOPSIS By 2004, Richard Branson’s business empire extended from airlines and railways to financial services and mobile telephone services. There was little evidence of any slow- ing up of the pace of new business startups. In the first 4 years of the new century, Virgin had founded a new airline in Australia; retail ventures in Singapore and Thailand; wireless telecom companies in Asia, the US, and Australia; and a wide variety of online retailing. While several of these new ventures had been very successful (the Australian airline Virgin Blue and Virgin Mobile in particular), the financial health of several other Virgin companies was looking precarious. Several of Branson’s startups had been financial disasters – Virgin Cola and Victory Corporation in par- ticular. Other more established members of the Virgin group (such as Virgin Rail and Virgin Atlantic) required substantial investment, while yielding disappointing operating earnings. While Branson’s enthusiasm for supporting new business ideas and launching companies that would challenge business orthodoxy and seek new approaches to meeting customer needs seemed to be undiminished, skeptics sug- gested that the Virgin brand had become overextended and that Branson was losing his golden touch. The case outlines the development of the Virgin group of companies from Branson’s first business venture and offers insight into the nature of Branson’s leadership, the This note was prepared by Robert M. Grant. 120 AGFC15 16/12/2004 17:16 Page 121 RICHARD BRANSON AND THE VIRGIN GROUP OF COMPANIES IN 2004 121 management principles upon which the Virgin companies are launched and operated, and the way in which the group is run.

  • VIRGIN GROUP Resource: Exploring Corporate Strategy Introduction the Virgin Group Is One of the UK's Largest Private Companies
    VIRGIN GROUP Resource: Exploring Corporate Strategy Introduction The Virgin Group is one of the UK's largest private companies, with an annual turnover estimated at £3bn per annum by 2000. Virgin's highest-profile business was Virgin Atlantic, which had developed to be a major force in the international airline business. However, the group spanned over 200 businesses from financial services through to railways; from entertainment mega stores and soft drinks to cosmetics and condoms. (Figure 1 shows the breadth of the group's activities.) Its name was instantly recognizable. Research showed that the Virgin name was associated with words such as 'fun', 'innovative', 'daring' and 'successful'. The personal image and personality of the founder, Richard Branson, were high profile; in British advertisements for Apple Computers, together with Einstein and Gandhi, he was featured as a 'shaper of the 20th century'. Origins and ownership Virgin was founded in 1970 as a mail order record business and developed as a private company in music publishing and retailing. In 1986 the company was floated on the stock exchange with a turnover of £250 million. However, Branson became tired of the public listing obligations. Compliance with the rules governing public limited companies and reporting to shareholders were expensive and time-consuming, and he resented making presentations in the City to people whom, he believed, did not understand the business. The pressure to create short-term profit, especially as the share price began to fall, was the final straw: Branson decided to take the business back into private ownership and the shares were bought back at the original offer price, which valued the company at £240 million.

  • SWP Comments
    Introduction Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs China and Japan: A Rupture Unhealed Kay Möller / Markus Tidten SWP Comments The recent Sino-Japanese dispute has not been brought to an end with Prime Minister Koizumi’s apology for Tokyo’s war record and his subsequent meeting with China’s head of state, Hu Jintao. Rather than concerning historical issues, the background to the dispute concerns Japan’s attempts to adopt a higher regional and international security profile and the inclusion of Taiwan in US-Japanese alliance planning. Whereas economic logic would favour cooperative solutions, nationalist trends on both sides have increasingly assumed dynamics of their own.

  • 2011 Annual Report to the Hawai'i State Legislature
    2011 ANNUAL REPORT to the Hawai‘i State Legislature Kupu in the Hawaiian language means “to sprout, grow, or increase.” The kupukupu fern, one of the first plants to bring life back to the land after a lava flow and featured on the front cover is a symbol of the recovery of Hawai‘i’s tourism economy in 2011. Kupu represents the return of life back to the people and the land, much like the results of the collective efforts of the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, our marketing and visitor industry partners, state and county officials and the people of Hawai‘i in support of our visitor industry. The actions and programs described in this report, together with our commitment to preserving what makes Hawai‘i so special – our people, our place and culture, aim to help Hawai‘i’s tourism economy to thrive and prosper.

  • The Rise of China and Its Effect on Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea: U.S
    Order Code RL32882 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web The Rise of China and Its Effect on Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea: U.S. Policy Choices Updated January 13, 2006 Dick K. Nanto Specialist in Industry and Trade Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Emma Chanlett-Avery Analyst in Asian Political Economy Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress The Rise of China and Its Effects on Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea: U.S. Policy Choices Summary The economic rise of China and the growing network of trade and investment relations in northeast Asia are causing major changes in human, economic, political, and military interaction among countries in the region. This is affecting U.S. relations with China, China’s relations with its neighbors, the calculus for war across the Taiwan Straits, and the basic interests and policies of China, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. These, in turn, affect U.S. strategy in Asia. China, for example, has embarked on a “smile strategy” in which it is attempting to coopt the interests of neighboring countries through trade and investment while putting forth a less threatening military face (to everyone but Taiwan). Under the rubric of the Six-Party Talks, the United States, China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea are cooperating to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis. Taiwanese businesses have invested an estimated $70 to $100 billion in factories in coastal China. China relies on foreign invested enterprises for about half its imports and exports. For Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, China has displaced the United States as their major trading partner.
