Aviation and Crew Resource Management

Paper Summary:

This research paper explains why the aviation industry should serve as a model for the production of similar research and also the implementation of tools, such as Crew Resource Management (CRM), into other areas that demonstrate public representations of life or death potential, such as medicine. The paper suggests that CRM could be an important tool for the international implementation of effective communications among high stress workers in any field, especially considering the level of research that is available for the cultural impact of differences in national identity.

From the Paper:

"One of the greatest, developments within aviation is automation. Automation has been a part of aviation far longer than it has been a part of any other industry or cause, and aviation has been multi-cultural since the first flight across the Atlantic. In light of the recent global changes in aviation, after recent terrorist acts, there is a much greater international need for a culture of safety that alleviates the rational fears of the public. Challenges of international collaboration are now more important than ever. The challenges of automation and especially the cross-cultural issues of it are the ways in which pilots and mangers view automation and how they use it. The challenges to the aviation industry are trendsetting in the field of human and computer interaction, almost before the complex ideas of technological advance and its time and energy saving effects were devised."
