- Identify the measurement/control mechanisms you would utilize to determine if the change management process is working effectively. Also include any contingency plans you would propose if/when the plan is not implemented as intended.
- Finally, offer a brief statement about what you learned from completing this project and how your research in this course has affected your perspective/perception of change.

Abstract
There comes a time in the life of an organization, when there is the need for a change.
This need can be caused by financial or even internal reasons, but most importantly, these
changes are always driven by the constant urge and hunger of an organization to continue
growing. When the time for having a change reaches, it is very important for the organization to
make it easy to implement the change by availing all the required resources and time. Through
this, it becomes easy for the organization to pick itself. This paper will take a case example of the
Emirates Airline and elaborate more on its history, its main challenge, how it can overcome the
challenge and the best plan that fits the countering of the challenge.

Introduction
The Middle East has always been cited as one of the most favored destinations for
investments. It is also in the Middle East where there are some international companies that have
est their grounds and have grown over the years. This paper will aim to look at one Middle East
company and how it runs its day to day activities while keeping afloat of challenges that it comes
across. This company under discussion is none other than the Emirates Airline which is an
international airline organization.
The Emirates Airline
The Emirates Company as mentioned in the introduction is a company based in the
United Arab Emirates which is a country in the Middle East. It is an airline company that has
global popularity and an equal amount of influence in its line of trade. The Airline company was
established in mid-1985 and has its headquarters located in Dubai. The Emirates Airline has the
Emirates group as its parent company(Niemeier & Tretheway, 2014).
The airline is owned by which is wholly owned by the government of Dubai's
Investments Corporation of Dubai. Data obtained from scholarly sources have indicated that the
airline is among the largest in the world and it has in the process managed to earn global respect
and influence in the process. It is also one of the fastest growing airlines in the entire world, and
this is evident by the average number of flights it takes in a single day. In the Middle East, the
Emirates is the largest airline, and from a global ranking, it manages to be the fourth largest
airline.
Data from the same sources also showed that the airline has connections and has flown its
planes to around 140 cities and in the process, covered a total of 81 countries. Its cargo activities

are undertaken separately by its own Emirates Skycargo. The airline has also been seen by many
critics and scholars to be the most daring one. This was evident when it went for the longest nonstop flight. This flight has begun in Dubai and stopped in Auckland.
How It Begun
The Emirates airline came into existence in the mid -1980s when the then Gulf Air started
cutting back its services to Dubai. In the process, a new baby was born, and this was the
Emirates Airline Company. It is important to note the fact that it had to get some anchoring and
this was provided by Dubai's Royal family. It had start-up capital of around 10 million US
dollars and had its first two crafts provided by Pakistan International Airlines. The Pakistan
International Airlines also went ahead to provide other auxiliary services like training facilities
for the cabin crew and other staff members.
Emirates Operations and the Staff
Through the years, the airline has grown tremendously, and at around January 2008, the
airline moved all its operations to Dubai International Airport. Regarding the types of planes, the
airline uses, it has been confirmed that it uses a mixture of both Boeing and Airbus. It is also one
of the very few airlines to have aircraft that are wide-body in nature. As of December 2017, the
Emirates was named the largest Airbus A380 operator with over 100 aircraft in service. The
airline is also the largest Boeing operator with 150 aircraft currently in service. As of 2017, the
Emirates airline had a total of slightly over 65000 employees. This can be attributed to the fact
that it is a big company that has made it its mission to reach out to many parts of the world. This
means that it has to employ a huge number of staff and this is reciprocated by the over 65000
employees it currently has on its payroll.
