Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership and organisational structures which are not adjusted to the cultural background of the employees concerned are most likely to produce sub-optimal results (House, 2004). Therefore it is necessary to develop appropriate leadership and organisational structures in order to fully grasp the cultural environment to be encountered in the professional world. This book presents a research project that was carried out to develop leadership and organisational structures in accordance with the requirements created by different professional backgrounds within the aviation industry. The identification of the different professional cultures was undertaken using a standardised questionnaire. The development of the questionnaire was carried out with the help of the GLOBE study (House, et al., 2004), one of the most extensive research efforts ever undertaken in the field of organisational and national cultures. The main characteristic of the GLOBE study is the development of nine dimensions which serve to identify and characterise any culture. These dimensions are referred to as 'core cultural dimensions'. Using this newly developed questionnaire, it was not only possible to isolate 12 different professional cultures, but also to identify their distinguishing traits which served as the base for the subsequent development of leadership and organisational structures. The survey was complemented by open interviews served to broaden and deepen the results gained with the standardised questionnaire. The research outcomes open the door to a new and important element of cultural research, complementary to those of organisational and national cultures. Although the study was carried out in the aviation industry, the results gained also appear to be transferable to other industries due to the large variety of professions isolated within the course of the presented study and the specific nature of the aviation industry itself.

This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the role of organizational leadership in achieving a high level of performance is somehow debated and thus there is a crucial need for researching the area of leadership and organizational performance. In response to this debate, I have conducted this study that establishes the relationship of leadership effects on their organization in the context of Nepali aviation industries. As such, the role of leadership in organizational success or failure cannot be neglected when we talk about aviation organization like any other general organization. Therefore, this research has identified the link between leadership and organizational performance in the Nepali airlines industry. A study of six different airlines has been performed using a case study method, in which a full range of leadership development theories and themes, as well as, organizational performance measurement themes to measure organizational performance have been used. Three failure airlines and three successful airlines were chosen for the study. The scope of the research is limited to the airline as a unit of analysis. In this unit of analysis, further leadership and organization are considered as two sub-units of analysis. In the leadership sub-unit, mainly leadership traits and determinants, leadership perspectives, leadership styles and types of leadership have been studied, whereas in the organization sub-unit of analysis, human resources, technology, structure, safety culture, strategy, environments, the role of government, unhealthy competition, political instability and its effects, have thoroughly been studied. The results indicate that leadership and organizational performance of Nepali aviation industries are two sides of a coin and without effective leadership, better organizational performance is not possible. Besides other factors like culture, environment, technology and financial constrain, most of the cases revealed that the role of government leadership while formulating the policies and aviation leadership that fails in coopetition with governmental bodies are the two main factors for aviation organizational success or failure in Nepal. Successful airlines' leaders are visionary and transformational; whereas leaders from the failure airlines are autocratic, transactional and laissez-faire type. The study then identified that transformational leadership styles contribute to good performance, thereby paving way for better performance in the airline industries. In summary, three major factors of success or failures of Nepali airline industries are lack of leadership for a coopetition strategy with the government while formulating the aviation policies, external environment, and aviation safety. Three conditions of leadership and organizational factors include a) leadership factors that are in dominating role than organizational factors for the organizational performance; b) organizational factors that are in dominating role for the organizational performance, and c) both leadership and organizational factors that are equally responsible for the organizational performance. The conclusion is that ideal condition for the greater performance of the organization is only possible if there is a balance between leadership as well as organizational factors. Thus, this book not only revealed vital information of success or failure of airlines, it modified the existing Porter's theory, developed a few new leadership as well as organizational constructs, tested some theory of success and failures and finally developed a new success model for the airlines based on research findings.

Book excerpt: BOOK DESCRIPTIONThis is a book about leadership, which goes behind the incessant news stories for unique, never before published facts and insights from a classic success story and tragedy.The book is not the typical trip down 'memory lane', the template of many books about a corporation. Nor is it like the dozens of books today that focus on the airline industry. Instead, there are profound and valuable lessons in this book for any leader, whatever the future brings for Delta. While giving poignant examples from many companies, Delta Air Lines is the book's poster child of a Board of Directors' and a leader's dramatic effects on tens of thousands of people. It gives the reader the no holds barred, inside story of Delta's success, decline and path to bankruptcy...the lessons learned...and what it needs to do to take off again. Fresh answers are given to the often-asked question, "What happened to Delta?" It is based on extensive research, including behind-the-scenes information from 59 members of the "Delta family", the author's in-depth personal knowledge as a member of that family, and his broad experience as a business executive and management consultant.The book examines the leadership decisions by each of Delta's 7 CEO's and its Board of Directors. It then highlights the decisions that built a highly profitable company for decades and those that have brought it to bankruptcy?and draws universal leadership lessons from them.It is also about a remarkable group of people. As the book shows, Delta employees and retirees have been shining examples of commitment to its heritage - Service and Hospitality From The Heart - even when constrained by ineffective leaders. Part of the tragedy is the price they are now paying and will be paying for that ineffective leadership. The book is co-dedicated to the thousands of Delta employees and retirees who love what Delta once was and hope the current leaders have what it takes to restore it.This engaging, highly readable book gives the reader a fascinating inside look at a major U.S. corporation from both a business and a human perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation shows how the history of the Waco Aircraft Company reflects the transformation of the American economy in the twentieth century. Beginning just after the First World War, its entrepreneur, Clayton J. Brukner, developed a network of relationships within the aviation industry. This allowed his company to develop significant competitive advantages in the private flying market. Those advantages and the popular appeal of aviation helped Waco to become the largest manufacturer of civilian aircraft by 1929. The transformation of business-government relations during the New Deal demanded changes in Brukner's business strategy. The depression significantly cut sales of its popular biplanes, but Waco kept its Troy, Ohio, factory open and earned some profits during the downturn. Brukner's involvement with the trade associations in the 1930s revealed the critical role the government, the military in particular, played in the development of aviation. His flawed leadership in the changing context led to decisions that degraded the quality of its network signals and diminished Waco's effectiveness in crafting appropriate policies. As the international situation grew increasingly tense throughout the 1930s, Waco, like other manufacturers, turned to exports to enhance sales. Contracts with foreign governments partially offset the setback the depression had caused domestically. They did not, however, drive Brukner to evaluate sufficiently Waco's potential participation in the U.S. military market. Only after the Munich Crisis in September 1938, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to call for increased military spending, did the Waco Aircraft Company position itself to receive defense contracts. It was almost three years, however, before the Army Air Forces directed the company to design and manufacture transport aircraft and cargo gliders. In the meantime Brukner had not developed the organizational capabilities needed to manage military contracts.

Most organizations (about 85%) operating business aircraft are small and medium-size enterprises. They include a wide range of organizations: state governments, universities, charitable organizations, and all types of businesses. While the organizations that rely on business aviation are varied, they all have one thing in common: the need for fast, flexible, safe, and secure access to destinations worldwide. Many small U.S. businesses rely on business aviation. They are located in markets where the airlines have reduced or eliminated service, making business aviation an important connection to the rest of the world. Business aviation fosters efficiency and productivity, and is essential in an intensely competitive global marketplace. This textbook, Practical Applications in Business Aviation Management, systematically examines business aviation and provides you with a complete understanding of one of America’s most dynamic industries. In this comprehensive guide to business aviation management, authors James R. Cannon and Franklin D. Richey provide in-depth and useful information on all aspects of managing a corporate aviation program. The book begins with a brief look at the history of business aviation and its important role in the aviation industry. It then moves on to focus on the practical issues facing all corporate aviation programs, such as: Regulatory compliance Administrative issues Aircraft and facility maintenance Finances and budgeting Aircraft selection and acquisition Standard operating procedures International operations Human resource management Training Communication and teambuilding Safety and security And much more The book also includes a foreword by Ed Bolen, the President and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association. It is an essential tool for students and professionals who need comprehensive, accurate, and practical information on managing a corporate aviation program.
