Strategic Management Masterclass: The Intersection of Business Management, Strategy, and Aviation

Bu masterclass serisi, strategic managementis a comprehensive video program that covers the most fundamental academic frameworks of business management through real case examples from the aviation industry. From the Balanced Scorecard to crisis management, from crew resource management to leadership in the age of artificial intelligence, across a wide range, we take classic business management theories out of abstract molds and turn them into concrete, memorable examples. The content has been prepared drawing on well-established academic sources in the field and current management literature.

Why Is Strategic Management Explained Through Aviation?

With its low profit margins, high operational risk, and strict regulatory framework, the aviation industry is one of the most demanding laboratories in which this discipline is tested. For example, the Balanced Scorecard framework was first introduced in the management literature by Kaplan and Norton’s landmark article published in Harvard Business Review and has since become one of the cornerstones of corporate performance management. In this masterclass, we bring such academic frameworks to life through concrete crises and success stories from the aviation industry. The advantage of this approach is this: rather than memorizing an abstract theory, seeing how a real organization applied that theory (or what went wrong when it didn't) makes the concept far more memorable.
