SWOT analysis of an Airline’s operations
The Assignment is designed to allow you to practice the Analytical tools/skills we have been working on all week. For Parts 2, and 3 assume you have been asked for a brief by senior management on the situation/Issue. For Part 4 you have been asked to perform a SWOT analysis of an Airline’s operations, for a possible investment by your company. Consider the SWOT analysis to be part of determining if this is an “attractive” or “unattractive” business, as we did when assessing Easyjet’s decision to enter the European LCC market. The grading breakdown is shown below. Note the bulk of the grades are for Analysis, not Decisions/Recommendations; your primary role is to do a “deep dive” into the issue/situation described, and provide senior management with the relevant information.
