In this paper I have researched in to Southwest Airline, I have focused to write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which I will, determine how Southwest Airlines’ corporate culture differs from other airlines. I will then analyze three (3) ways that Southwest’s unique culture has benefited the airline and its employees and eventually I will speculate how Southwest Airlines would continue to thrive as a company if its current corporate culture would need to change in the near future. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment paper are as follows. Examine the private enterprise systems, drivers of change on the system, ethic and social responsibilities of business, and the requirements for success in today’s business environment. Analyze business plans based on an analysis of domestic and global operating environments, market dynamics, and electronic and internal capabilities. The paper will close out with a conclusion that restates the main focus of the paper.
