A Case Study in Flytoget AS

Case Study about Flytoget AS

The Challenge: Flytoget (FTG), the Airport Express Train is a high-speed train that transports passengers to and from Oslo Airport-Gardermoen, with eight stations along its routes. Striving to be the world’s fastest and most punctual airport link, FTG is in competition with airport buses and taxis.

FTG sought to increase the portion of travelers who do not buy a ticket but rather charge the fare directly to their credit cards (ticketless traveling).

A Study on Budget 2013: Impact on the Auto Sector

Budget 2013: Impact on the Auto Sector

SUVs, luxury cars and high end motorcycles to get more expensive in this year’s budget

In his budget speech, Finance Minister P Chidambaram announced a number of changes in excise duty and import duty structures for a few segments of the market. The biggest hit obviously being the hike on all SUVs which will now attract an excise duty rate of 30 per cent as opposed to 27 per cent previously, except for SUVs bought to be used as taxis. The import duty on fully built cars has also been increased steeply from 75 per cent to 100 per cent while the import duty on motorcycles above 800cc has gone up from 60 per cent to 75 per cent.

Justifying his decision on hiking the excise duty for SUVs, Chidambaram stated that SUVs take up more space and are not as fuel efficient as other vehicles, therefore the subsequent increase.

Case Study on Rajawali Express Taxi

The 1997 Asian financial crisis created a job vacuum in Indonesia, with companies forced to lay off 1.4 million workers. A decade later, unemployment rates continue to rise and poverty defines the context for Indonesia’s economy, social relations and security.

Case Study on Rajawali Express Taxi

Express Taxi uses the company reputation and assets to back the loans. The drivers gain by earning more take-home income. The company profits from drivers who treat vehicles responsibly and bring more stable cash flows. The community benefits from drivers who drive more safely with their own cars, with added support from company-provided safety courses. The case highlights how a company can help fight poverty by forging a mutually beneficial partnership with employees from poor urban and rural communities. Click here to read more…
