From the Paper:

"British Airways is a UK based company activating in the airline industry and operating throughout the world. Given that it operates on such a changing and demanding industry, the company has, on numerous occasions, been faced with the need to modify and improve their business components. The need to implement numerous changes was mostly generated by external forces. The most relevant of these are accounted by theoretical changes in the managerial approach, meaning that the company is to place more emphasis on satisfying the customers' needs and also increasing the staff's satisfaction on the job. Other factors were generated by major technological developments which had to be incorporated. In addition, the new strategies implemented by the competition forced British Airways to adjust to the market requirements and further develop. Then, there were the tragic events of 9/11 in the United States, which severely impacted the airline industry and reduced the population's trust in airplanes. All these, along with other forces as well, have determined the management at British Airways to place more emphasis on the organizational process."
