Activity Instructions
For this assignment, formulate your airline's strategy as described in the course project description for the Airline Simulation project. Be sure to review the Formulating Your Airline's Strategy Scoring Guide to self-assess your paper prior to submission. Please note that you are required to support your strategy with professional or industry-related resources (at least three) and follow APA guidelines for style and format.
Important: Each member of the team must submit a copy of the team document to their own assignment area to be graded, and each member must submit the same document. However, each of you will receive a team grade.
Your airline's strategy should contain the following:
- A name for your airline. You will work with your team to create a name and a strategy for your airline.
- A mission and vision for your airline that illustrates your basic philosophy. (Will you be aggressive or conservative? Or, will you be disruptive and creative?)
- An explanation of how you plan to run your airline. Support your plan with at least three referenced sources.
- A communication strategy for your team. This should be a paragraph or two telling how your team intends to communicate, such as group discussion forum, email, Skype, et cetera, to discuss things and work on decisions.
This is a great chance for your team to be creative! Design a logo, develop a slogan, and so on. You are not required to follow any particular format. However, your airline's strategy should look professional and address all the elements completely. Review the Airline Strategy: Sample Report document given in the resources just to get an idea of the content required.
Your airline's strategy should be a fairly detailed report of approximately 5. You must use references or citations from at least three professional or industry-related resources within your report. Be sure you follow APA sixth edition guidelines for all citations and references.
Also, make sure your team number and airline name appear on the paper and all members of the team submit the same document.
