SMARTER SKIES BY AIRBUS






Smarter Skies by Airbus




In this module I am going to explain Airbus company and their innovation Smarter Skies. The company was established in 1970 as a French-German partnership. The company is currently based in Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It is based in Blagnac, France, a suburb of Toulouse. The company employs 72,816 people. Airbus having evolved during the past 40 years thanks to the vision, innovation and passion of its employees. 
Airbus just shows its "Smarter Skies" conceptualization of how air travel will look like in 2050, this innovation point to shorter flights and less energy consumption. Airbus's  aircraft manufacturers planning to produce an assisted takeoff, dubbed "eco-climb" mode, where smaller, lighter airplanes would depart from shorter runways and reach cruising altitude faster. Once in the air, planes will pinpoint the most direct route and  fly like a flock of birds which is named by Airbus is "express skyways". Express Skyways system will help to reduce emissions and arrive at their destinations sooner. And when it comes time to land, aircraft could descend into airports with engines running in idle, allowing for reduced noise and emissions. The innovation that Airbus willing to establish in near future will have five main subtitle. These are; eco-climb, express skyways, free-glide approaches and landings, ground operations and power.
1. Eco-climb: Assisted take-off using renewably powered, propelled acceleration, would see aircraft climb rapidly to their most efficient cruising altitude, reducing emissions and noise. As mega-cities become a reality and space becomes a premium, runways could be shortened to minimize land use.
2. Express skyways — Intelligent aircraft would be able to self-organize and select the most efficient routes, making the optimum use of prevailing weather and atmospheric conditions. Planes could rendezvous in mid-air and flock like birds in formation to reduce drag and thus fuel consumption and emissions
3. Low-noise, Free-glided approaches and landings — In descent, aircraft could glide smoothly into airports with engines running in idle, significantly reducing emissions and noise. Slower landing speeds would make shorter runways a viable possibility at both ends of the journey
4. Ground operations — Landing positions could be optimized with enough accuracy for autonomous, renewably powered taxiing carriages to be ready, clearing runways quicker and optimizing terminal space to remove runway and gate limitations. Engines could be switched off sooner, further reducing on-the-ground handling emissions
5. Powering future aircraft and infrastructure — The usage of sustainable biofuels and other alternative energy sources such as solar, hydrogen and electricity, will secure supply and further reduce aviation’s environmental damages. 

As Airbus published this infographic seen above give some technical details forecasted about the influences of 'Smarter Skies'. This infographic was created by looking at the survey results made in 2010. Airbus asked 10000 people around the globe who will be passengers in 2050 and what they will want from air travel. Their answer was cheaper greener and more fun. According to the survey; 63% of people on the world say they will fly more by 2050, 96% believe aircraft will need to be more sustainable or eco-efficient, 86% of people think less fuel burn is key and 85% a reduction in carbon emissions and 66% want quieter aircraft and 65% planes which are fully recyclable. By looking at those survey result, it can be easily seen that Airbus's Smart Skies project is matching with people's wishes. Airbus Smart Skies project fits with market demand.

UNITED CEREAL CASE SOLUTIONS

UNITED CEREAL CASE SOLUTIONS Questions 1. As Lora Brill, UC’s European VP, would you authorize Jean-Luc Michel’s request to launch of Healthy Berry Crunch in France? 2. What do you think of Brill’s Euroband proposals? Should she authorize the launch of Healthy Berry Crunch as the Euroband? What concerns do you have? How would you resolve them? 3. How might UC implement your recommendations? What do you think of the Eurobrand Team proposal? SOLUTIONS The case gives a brief idea about the company’s confusion over a new product launch in Europe. United Grain was first established in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1910 and has stepped into other markets, such as drinks, frozen food and cooked food. But the trend of breakfast cereals came into play soon. It was very necessary for the company to do a full research before launching a new product. There were strong values and policies that the company had to follow for its managers. Breakfast was a pot of corn, a pot and a Kellog, whi...

'Airbnb, Etsy, Uber: Growing from One Thousand to One Million Customers' Case Reflection Paper In each case the strategies are different because of the company's situation at that time. Thanks to early adopters Airbnb, Etsy and Uber has started thinking abouy how to expand their customer base with better marketing methods. Digital marketing will help out, enabling different companies to get targeted customers through different search ads or social media at the affordable rate. Airbnb Airbnb was a two sided marketplace that sought to match people that owned real estate properties with people interested in renting short-term lodging. Airbnb was founded in August 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, the company was privately owned. By 2009, Airbnb had more than one thousand customers and by 2011 more than one million. One of the major advantage of Airbnb was that it tended to be substantially cheaper, generally 30% to 80% lower than hotels in the same location. I...

FINANCIALS OF ARÇELİK COMPANY Turkish Economy  Slow growth in Europe and a deteriorating geopolitical environment in its neighbourhood have negatively impacted exports, investment, and growth. The influx of 3 million Syrian refugees in 2015–16 created new social, economic, and political demands, particularly in urban centre where most refugees are living.Political developments in 2015 and 2016 have presented further challenges. Elections in June and November 2015, a cabinet reshuffle in May 2016, an attempted coup in July, and the consequent replacement of public officials have all affected the Government’s reform momentum. At the same time, a series of terrorist attacks has weakened tourist arrivals and foreign investment. Private investments have been delayed, leading to slower economic growth. In November 2015, Turkish Military shot down a Russian fighter jet with the claim that it was trespassing Turkish airspace. This had resulted in a crisis with Russian Federation th...
