    Fedex marketing Case

    Looking at the past data, it was mainly the executives or their secretaries who utilized CP rather than shipping managers of the companies. Due to the nature of their needs, they demand fast overnight deliveries to their client instead of the usual routine by going through the shipping department which will slow them down. Focusing on the demand for special-handling of packages, the review of the potential market was almost 870,000 pieces a day. It is a huge market of approximately 670 times the size of the current average daily CP volume of around 1,300 and is still expecting to grow at 20% each year.…

    FedEX Discrimination

    One of the topics in class that we discussed in chapter 3 was Equal Opportunity for all employees monitored by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Equal Employment Opportunity is a condition in which all individuals have an equal chance for employment, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin. There was a recent case against FedEx saying that they discriminate against deaf and partially deaf workers. They were hired for the job, but once they were on the job, they were not provided with the proper accommodations. There was no sign language practice, nothing in the trucks to help people with a hearing disability, and they did not provide scanners that vibrated on the job instead of just beeping.…

    Baggage handling is at the heart of an airport. The automated baggage handling system at the Denver International Airport (DIA) was a huge undertaking. Not only would it be the largest system of its kind in the world but also the most expensive. Originally designed for only one airline, United Airlines, it grew to encompass all terminals within the airport. This enormous project had its inherent risks and uncertainties, and encountered many emerging problems. As a result, the project caused massive delays of the airport opening and budget overruns. It was regarded as a huge failure and a textbook example of how an IT project could go wrong.…
