SAA to be split into three units

[Pitbull]

Why not just cut the loss makers now ?

You need to pin point it. It's a management style. Break it up into smaller manageable chunks and pinpoint where the losses are coming from for each section. Identify and either deal with it, or cut your losses.

there would be 1 CEO and 3 COO .

Ha! As if. They will probably put three executive suites in there, the whole shebang, CEO/COO/CTO and CFO of each entity, with everyone competing for the largest bonus.

Is the concept of splitting entities up to make a profit, like the theory that if you pay with a bigger note you get more change?

 

[vigras rojara]

It would be easier to sell it off then.
The domestic can be sold to mango, regional to kulula and the international can be left with government along with the billions in debt.

SAA technical and whatever support could be a 4th business.

Um.....

Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you

So more jobs for the comrades?

More bribe money and easier to loot

 

[DreamKing]

anyone can tell me why 1 big company splits to 3 smaller companies will have jobs cut?

I expect that will create more jobs.

no?

I can see how it might work for Eskom due to structural similarities with Telkom... That is if Eskom's breakup is something in the line of generation-distribution(power lines)-wholesale. As we've seen with Telkom something like that could really streamline things.

But SAA? How does that make sense? The collective management wage bill will just go up massively if this is done. How will it help to reduce cost to the tax payer?

 

[Lew Skannen]

Breaking up and splitting both entities, Eskom and SAA, into 3, 5, 10, 15 or even 100 pieces will not resolve the issues. From a management point, it may make sense, but then again, if there were a proper management, with sufficient experience and qualifications, not affected by BEE and AA and also backed by a similar work team below, this could hypothetically work.

They are fooling everyone. Nothing will come of it. Splitting the entities will increase the debt and put an even greater strain on the already fu**ed economy.

would it really be a problem if they break it into 3?

It is normally beneficial to consolidate business units to take advantage of the economics of scale and specialisation. Expanding a bankrupt failing business by making it more complicated is probably the stupidest idea ever.

This is the only thing that could possibly make sense. But then the unions will fight against it.

 

[rietrot]

I posed the same question w.r.t. Eskom's breakup into 3: what is zero divided by three?

But you don't have a zero, you have minus a couple of billions.

Split into 3 is becoming a thing now, hopefully the ANC can follow suit.

If only..

 

[mr_norris]

3 x the bloat with 3 x the failure. Perhaps it's done to spread the debt around?

SAA CEO Vuyani Jarana said ......

SAA to be break into three business

Typical EWN sloppiness but the headline has subsequently been corrected.

 

[ForceFate]

So more jobs for the comrades?

Thought this is what people wanted?

 

[ForceFate]

SAA CEO Vuyani Jarana said the firm will be split into domestic, regional and international business units, each with their own management.

Why not lump domestic and regional together in the same category?

 

[BBSA]

Cope and EFF so far

Those are just children, one good and one very bad.

Jerm nailed it.
