This essay is general in nature and is aimed at assessing the
students’ understanding of key concepts related to strategic
planning and management, focusing on the importance of the process
of designing vision, mission and value statement for an
organization, the role of objective setting (long-term objectives
and their organizational benefits) in the process as well as the
stages of developing strategic plans, focusing mostly on strategy
formulation and implementation.
On the theoretical level, students are expected to express their
agreement or disagreement with the views in the literature based on
their professional experience. On a more practical level. using the
‘Comprehensive Strategic-Management model (David 2013, students are
encouraged to interpret the stages through examples from their own
organizations. The essay should conclude with an original summary
of the theoretical discussion, highlighting the key lessons learned
from theory in light examples presented.

Since 911, heightened airline security has increased frustrations for both airline employees and passengers. Passengers have to abide by the ever more rules that airline employees must enforce. For instance, on a flight from Europe to the United States, a simple passenger request escalated quickly. “John Murphy asked a flight attendant about a sign telling passengers not to venture beyond the curtain separating the economy class from the rest of the plane.”, the New York Times reported. “He wanted to stretch his legs and visit his wife seated on the opposite aisle., using the passageway behind the gallery in the plane’s midsection. But when he questioned a flight attendant, on the policy and began recording their conversation using his cell phone, the situation quickly escalated. The flight attendant grabbed his phone, and nearby federal air marshalls intervened.”
The marshalls held him against the wall with his hands behind his back. Murphy said, “ I wasn’t violent. I didn’t use four-letter words.

Afterwards, Murphy wandered about his rights and the rules., such as being restricted to particular cabins and not just bathrooms, as well as the right to video/audio record flight crew. A spokesperson of the Federal Aviation Administration responded that there is no rule limiting passengers movement on planes, but no person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crew member in the performance of the crew member's duties..”
