January 1994 and was one of the pioneers of the early
internet era during the 1990s.
In hindsight these mistakes can be considered as the
prime reasons for its failure:
● Refusing to buy Google for just $1 million
● Failing to buy Facebook
● Repeated instances of bad leadership

The IBM of the 1980s was a computer hardware
company. Whether you needed a desktop computer for
your office or a mainframe big enough for every
employee in a Fortune 500 company to use, IBM has you
covered. They had all that and everything in between.
● IBM sold off its PC line in 2005 to Lenovo.

badly.

26. COSTLY PURCHASE
● Purchase of Air Sahara for $500 million in cash.
● Rebranding it as "Jet Lite"
● Ignoring advice of professional associates.
CONCLUSION
Budget airlines
● Underestimating low-cost carriers -- IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir
Poor management
● Goyal’s incompetence as a CEO.
● His acquisition of Air Sahara & refusal to curb day-to-day operations
27. Fluctuating crude
● Fluctuations in the global crude prices
● Fall of Indian rupee - - soaring fuel costs
● Failure to manage balance sheets
CONCLUSION
Failure to attract investors
● Mr. Goyal’s failure to find a strategic investor
● Tata’s refusal to buy Jet Airways & Etihad’s refusal to increase its stake as Mr. Goyal was
unwilling to cede control
● Leading to bankruptcy
Bankers
● Naresh Goyal alone cannot be held responsible for the failure of Jet Airways. The bankers
who supplied loans to Jet are just as responsible.
● On many occasions, Jet was given loans of far higher value than the collateral provided.
28. The Peter Principle
“An observation that the tendency in most organizational hierarchies, is
for every employee to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they
reach a level of respective incompetence”
29. Laud Innovation
Innovators in the organisation need
to have a voice.
New ideas and directions should
be given appreciation
Transform Strategy
Go back to your drawing board
Change the way you work
Avoid Complacency
No one is too big to fail.
A market-leader needs to
consistently find the rising trends
in the market and align itself
accordingly.
30. Organisational Agility
Move according to the market.
An organisation must be able to let go of its pet
product and move out of their comfort zone.
Toxic Company Culture
This is a sure recipe for disaster.
Root it out of your company at the
earliest.
Balance Sheet
Always keep an eye on the balance sheet.
Do not borrow more than you can repay.
However do not let lack of funds keep you from investing in a new exciting venture.
