New organisation for safe and effective operation of cruise ships CSMART
Navigating a large cruise ship in confined or restricted waters involves risks that must be managed
carefully, so that safe operation is maintained by using all available resources effectively. This is
exactly what Carnival’s new role based bridge organisation is pursuing.
32. 推副品牌,卻因客群重疊侵蝕獲利
• 10 年前就推出更便宜的副品牌 GU,這與競爭對手 Gap 在 1994 年
的策略如出一轍。Gap 當時的盤算是:讓價格較低、面料普通但
款式年輕大膽的「下駟」Old Navy 去迎戰紅海市場,「上駟」
Gap 就有餘裕提升品牌形象,拉高售價。
• GU 確實不負期待,營業利益成長超過 34%,在集團內一枝獨秀,
但優衣庫卻也步上 Gap 的後塵:近 20 年來因客群部分重疊,Old
Navy 吃掉部分 Gap 的戰場,形成巨大的獲利侵蝕效應。
