 “Organizational Design and Culture”

According to your textbook Nelson and Quick, (2015) we continue to move from the traditional methods of examining organizational design and structure, several forces are reshaping organizations such as the life cycles in organizations, globalization, changes in technology and demands on organizational processes. Give a detailed example of how your current employer or your last employer is meeting the challenges of these non-traditional forces.

One of the forces that shape American Airlines organization is the way how they reach other market segments through globalization. As most of probably doesn’t know that the Airlines industry were global before much of the business world knew global existed. Here is a quick history, As early as 1919, Chalk’s Ocean Airways was carrying passengers between Florida and the Bahamas in pontoon-bottomed seaplanes. That same year, regular flights between London and Paris began. By the mid-1930s, Pan Am was routinely flying to China, the Philippines, and Japan. International travel quickly became the most romantic, highest-margin segment of the airline industry, and it remains so today

.People would safely assume that given with their rich international experience, we all might think the major Western airlines such as Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, British Airways, and Air France, and among many others would be well positioned to take advantage of globalization since other industries have seen the potential of worldwide commerce. But it is not the case; in fact, for the airline industry as whole, globalization is not an opportunity, but their gravest threat.

One way that American Airlines and so does the other airlines to get around rules against consolidation and M&A, the airline formed a service agreements with one another on specific routes and share the costs and profits equally. The joint venture partners cooperate on departure times, types of aircraft to use, distribution, and marketing to gain access to customers in regions where they are weak.
