    The Impact of Aviation

    From the Wright Brothers historical takeoff on Kitty Hawk beach in 1903 to the Modern day F-22 Raptor aviation has influenced and helped shape the American Culture. Modern day military is centered around, and greatly relies upon the strengths and mobility that aviation ensures. The economy depends upon aviation to transport people and goods as well as provide millions of jobs worldwide. Society as a whole relies on aviation to connect distant places that would take months to travel to if not for the power of aircraft. Aviation enables us to do things we never imagined possible otherwise. Military aviation stretches back nearly as far as aviation itself. Bilstein (2001) noted that in 1914, at the start of WWI, Germany had 230 airplanes, and Great Britain and France combined only had 240 airplanes. These aircraft were mainly used as reconnaissance and to observe troop and artillery positions. Bilstein (2001) stated that the opposing forces actually waved while passing each other in flight since "dogfighting" still hadn 't taken off yet. Germans were the first ones to mount guns on airplanes. By the end of WWI the British had an astounding 22,000 aircraft. WWI was in a time that Times remarked as aviation being "on the threshold of a new age whose developments the most imaginative can hardly imagine". Bilstein (2001) When World War II broke out in 1939 many advancements in Military Aviation were unveiled. Long range bombers were now in service, as well as the first jet aircraft. World War II made many jobs in the aviation field available including, factory workers,…

    An international strategy is a strategy through which the firm sells its goods or services outside its domestic market (Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson, 2009). Lufthansa tends to follow a transnational strategy that will help grow the company internationally and in their own country. Since the September 11 terrorist attacks airlines have been struggling to stay in business. The fear that passengers have is slowing diminishing but it is still affecting the airlines. Airlines have been forced to enforce many regulations and fees adding to their financial struggle. With any international strategy comes a risk. Lufthansa seems to have managed to survive many risks all while being one of three airlines where their debt is to the point of bankruptcy if they have not started it already. Since mergers are illegal across country boarders the response from Lufthansa was an alliance with Star Alliance (Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson). Star Alliance is an alliance that is made up of a partnership amongst several airlines, in an effort to offset costs and create value. The alliance has been a constant balancing act. The alliance was done to help reduce Lufthansa’s debt but has come with many challenges in managing the alliance with Star Alliance. The plan was to increase the revenue side of Star Alliance by keeping passengers’ loyalty to fly with them. Since the late 1999, Lufthansa has been running according to the value –based management. The aim of the value-based management approach applies to all planning, steering and monitoring processes in order to achieve a purposeful, long-term and continuous increase in enterprise value in investor’ and lenders interest (Lufthansa Investor Relations).…
