Part 1: Performance Management and Measurement

TranSafe Airlines has been established for 3 years and has the following mission statement: “To provide safe, fast and affordable air travel”.

This airline company provides affordable and fast domestic flight travel within New Zealand. For customers to enjoy lower airfares, they must drive out to private airfields located on the outskirts of towns and cities. Rather than paying higher fees for using the traditional domestic terminals, TranSafe have partnered with these multiple private airfields around New Zealand.

During the last 3 years popularity has increased considerably, and Senior Management has suggested an expansion on income and growth. They wish to expand the business model to the Pacific Islands and possibly Australia in the next coming 2 years. But the CEO is worried that the company may enter a highly competitive market and experience substantial risks financially and non- financially.

Due to the potential growth and to avoid competitors taking in a similar business model, Senior Management has decided to strengthen its case when they meet with their CEO again. Senior Management has asked you, the Senior Management Accountant, to assist them in taking this idea forward.
