You will prepare a 12 – 15 page research paper on a contemporary international aviation industry issue.
You will:
• Define and/or articulate a research problem.
Safety:From the terrorist attack of September 11th to the missing Malaysia Airlines, the international aviation industry takes safety of their passenger their top priority. The threats will always be consistent and accidents from human or mechanical error will happen but it flying today is extremely safe. It wasn’t always that way. In the early days it was a risky business. But right from the beginning there was an understanding among governments and industry that safety was not a competitive issue. And there has always been great cooperation among all the industry’s stakeholders in efforts to make flying ever safer. IATA is working with our partners towards some recommendations on how to track aircraft better. There is some promising technology that will become available in the near future.
• Design a course of action to solve a research problem using, as appropriate, multidisciplinary approaches.
•Apply ethical principles in your research.
?Address any ethical/social issues relevant to your research topic.
•Reach decisions or conclusions based on the analysis and synthesis of evidence.
Content
Please remember that the nature of the class is to investigate international aviation management and its three elements: the nature of international aviation business; working in a foreign environment; and managing in an international environment
The focus of the paper should revolve around this theme. Papers that do not address this topic, but focus instead on other important, but irrelevant issues, will not grade well.
