Based on the Case Study Number 27 “Delta Airlines 2012: Navigating an Uncertain Environment”, answer the following question: You have been hired as a strategic management consultant by Delta Airlines.  What specific recommendations would you make to the senior management team in the development of their strategic management plans with the issues facing their company?  Be specific and provide logical justifications. You need not write a synopsis, or identify the resources, capabilities, and core competencies.  You should, however, understand what their resources, capabilities, and core competencies are. Using the findings of fact format, discuss, in detail, any recommendations you may have.  You are required to submit three fully justified findings of fact and are not limited the 10 pages. You must remain within the confines of the case study (including end of case references) and do not current research on Delta.Case Study is from the textbook below. Wheelen, Thomas L., J.

What customer relationship management improvements would you recommend?Format:Requirements - Written Case Analysis—Assignments GuidelinesWe will discuss three business cases in this course. You will be required to read each case and be prepared to discuss each of them in online class and/or discussion board. You will also be required to write three case analyses. The first two cases (Week 1 and Week 2) are given. For the third case analysis/write up, you have the option of analyzing the Week 3 case or analyzing a firm of your choosing (preferably a place with which you are or will be affiliated). See the note in the “Class Participation” section regarding the Week 3 Case Study if interested.When writing up your analysis, first imagine that the CEO of the referenced company has requested your assessment and recommendation to help them make a business investment decision. Second, organize your paper using the following three sections (please use these titles or more descriptive headings that reflect both the essence of the following titles as well as case conditions).Business Context/Key Business Drivers (25%)In this section, describe the company, their business model, and competitive position in their market. Also describe the business problem(s) the company faced that triggered their move to invest in information systems.Analysis (50%)In this section, address/answer the case-specific questions (see the Canvas assignment entry). In this section, compare and contrast the approach taken by the actors in the case to guidance from course instructional material. Particularly, compare the company’s approach to relevant successful principles/practices suggested in your readings.Personal Takeaways (25%)In this section, explain what you learned from this case that is applicable to your current or future career. Align your lessons learned with specific business elements (for example, future required skills, business challenges you will have to overcome, complex environmental or societal issues you will face).This last section represents a significant part of the paper because you are expected to apply your critical thinking skills and to demonstrate what you have learned from the case. Support your takeaways analysis with specific case facts, but do not reiterate your recommendations for the case company.Formatting ConsiderationsPapers should be 2-3 pages in length, 1.5 or single-spaced (with default margins).Points will be deducted for poor spelling, grammar, or style. In other words, normal business standards of writing quality will apply.Structured writing is required. Use headings and subheadings to provide structure. If you are making multiple, related points, use a bulleted list (use a numbered list if you have more than three points). If you are comparing/contrasting alternatives across multiple dimensions, use a table (for example, 3 options compared across 5 success criteria results in a 3 x 5 table). The structure and information should jump off the page.The instructor is not expecting long prose. Many paragraphs of unbroken text are not normally read in a business environment and should be avoided in this course.Properly cite your sources (including course readings). Footnotes are preferred to efficiently attribute your claims to a specific source. Your footnotes should contain enough information for your instructor to locate the original source.

We began our discussion of difference, stereotyping, and prejudice by viewing Pleasantville. In a well-written essay, apply the theories and research discussed in this series of lectures to illustrate a more sophisticated understanding of the events in the film. As discussed in class, an understanding of the social and group dynamics evident in Pleasantville begins with an understanding of the challenges posed by difference, like those introduced in Pleasantville. We discussed seven points that describe what is challenging about difference in lecture. How do you see these points illustrated in Pleasantville? Be sure to use specific examples to support your claims. As you explicate these seven points identify three to four theories of blatant and subtle stereotyping and ideologies embodied in the steps. You can discuss more theories if they will help you to improve your response. What conclusions from your analysis can you draw about how difference is manipulated and exploited in your daily life? For example, how does the media exploit social differences? How are these differences exploited in politics? Do you have a personal example to share about how differences are exploited? Your response should be detailed and thorough. 6 pagesAssume that our understanding of “self” is ONE among several types of cognitive structures that constitute our entire memory (e.g., we also have role schemas, person schemas, scripts, collective forms of memory, etc.). Also assume that the “self” (self-schemata) is a central cognitive structure that organizes all other cognitive structures in memory. Develop an explanation for how the “self” structures and organizes all other cognitive structures. Be sure that your explanation describes WHY the self is this central cognitive structure. As you develop these explanations you should describe your view of the “self” by incorporating the many perspectives discussed in class (e.g., the ideal self, feared self, possible self, etc.). Your explanation should draw on material from Fiske and Taylor and class discussions (including Cognitive Experiential Self Theory and our discussion of schemas prior to the midterm). Your explanation will be your own theory of the way memory works. Describe how your explanation of human memory is related to one or more of the forms of communication we discussed this semester. 6 pages
