Title: Company profiles
Post by: nbalakers24 on March 26, 2009, 08:48:17 pm
Hi,

For our next SAC, we are allowed to take in notes about one Australian company. i'm thinking of Qantas because:

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25242223-664,00.html

You bring notes in for the SAC, the SAC is on management roles and policies.

Can anyone share me some ideas about what i should add into the notes etc?

Help apppreciated.


Cheers.

That article is related to rightsizing/downsizing due to macro economic conditions ( economic factors ) after a quick read.

It's not related to roles and policies that much at all, have a re-think of the company and specific examples you use in the SAC.

Have a browse through http://www.afrbiz.com.au/page.asp?E_Page=416305 There's definitely something there, but it's quite tedious to search through...
