This document discusses a case study on the strategic management of airlines. It analyzes the airline industry using the PESTEL framework to identify key political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal drivers of change. Some of the main factors identified are national policies, security controls, fuel prices, emerging economies, fuel efficiency technologies, emissions regulations, and traffic control laws. The conclusion is that many of these drivers are interlinked and analyzing potential future scenarios is important for understanding how changes could impact airline firms differently.

Recap of Lecture The environment as a layer around an industry and firms Importance of interface and interactions between firms and institutional environment Government, regulatory policy and the capital markets key institutions Use of PESTEL Framework to identify key drivers of change and plan scenarios Strategic Behaviour by firms that seek to countenance institutional constraints PESTEL Framework Source: Johnson, Whittington and Scholes, 2011 Airline Industry Political Factors
National flagship Security controls Restrictions on migration Granting access to airspace Employee strikes (air traffic control; baggage handling)
Airline Industry Economic Factors
National, regional, global growth rates Fuel prices Foreign exchange rates The price of landing slots/availability of land Business travel versus leisure travel
Airline Industry Socio-cultural Factors
Rise in travel by elderly; student travel
Incidence of second holidays
Emerging economies (cultural distance)
Airline Industry Technological Factors
Fuel efficiency and new materials Scale of aircraft Security checks Business teleconferencing, Skype and on- line services
Airline Industry Environmental Factors
Pollution and emissions
New runways and availability of landing slots
New materials (Dreamliner)
Airline Industry Legal Factors
Traffic control; availability of landing slots
Anti-trust and other regulations (impact both of the above)
Safety
What do we conclude? Many of the factors are linked - technological changes driven by (international) emission targets - rise in elderly travel related to economic growth and improving healthcare Identify key drivers that have high impact now and in the future (cyclical or structural) The combined effect of some of the factors is likely to be most important
What do we conclude? Dynamic analysis: consider future outcomes by simulating various scenarios - what happens when oil price is at $150, $60? - what happens to travel after a terrorist attack? - what happens when /$ rate is 2.00 vs 1.00? Impact affects all firms in the industry and there is a link to other industries (hotels) Some firms more sensitive than others (ANA; Skytrain)
