A FACTOR ANALYTICAL STUDY OF AIRLINE MANAGEMENT: THE CASE OF NEW ENTRANT AIRLINES

Management is usually considered the single most important determinant of the firm's success or failure. However, an overall approach to classify underlying factors of management characteristics has been lacking in airline research. This paper determines through exploratory factor analysis such underlying factors characterizing new entrant airlines. The determinant factors are then used to test, through regression analysis, the relationship of conceptually based critical performance factors with performance indicators and environmental influence factors.
