Part 1 - Introduction

Introduction

Air-France will merge with JAL and both companies will need to change their organizational and strategic focus. The coming ten weeks, we will write an implementation plan concerning the changing aspects within both companies.

The main objective is the adaptation of JAL to Air France-KLM, and vice versa, at strategic, managerial and operational levels, taking the mission, vision and strategy of Air France-KLM into account.

We will be looking several perspectives on optimizing organizational processes, marketing tools and the flexibility of the workforce in relation to the ever-present changes in the environment.
We will design both companies organization by relating such components as strategy, structure, culture, assessment tools and human resources.
