Summary: | Ninety per cent of world trade has been delivered by maritime. The significant role played by the
maritime industry is undoubtedly crucial for world economic growth and prosperity. Therefore, AK
Ventures had been chosen to portrait the dynamics of maritime management and operations. AK
Ventures is unique because the company is only focused on Maritime, but they also diversified in
other sectors in economic such as education (AK Academy), tourism (AK Travel) and property
management (AK Property). Due to the vast activities of AK Ventures they can still perform well in all
sectors with the minimum human resources and also the span of management of AK Ventures is not
a so-called dynamic organisation but somewhat centralised management whereby the focus and
the power of authority lie under one or two individuals. From the case it can be observed that AK
Ventures does not have any proper strategic planning and human capital and retention plan.
However, it can still perform with the full satisfied human resources (base on the interviews). This is very
contrary to the human resource management studies. The focus of this case is on human resources
planning, retaining, training and development of AK Academy. Applications of those theories and
strategies are paramount in understanding, analysing, concluding and solving of the teaching notes. |
