Guidelines
You will prepare a 12 - 15 page research paper on a contemporary international aviation industry issue.
You will:
- Define and/or articulate a research problem.
- Your problem statement will need to be approved by your instructor in Module 3.
- Additionally, you will use the Module 3.6 discussion forum to post your problem statement and comment on at least two of your classmates' posts.
- Design a course of action to solve a research problem using, as appropriate, multidisciplinary approaches.
- Apply ethical principles in your research.
- Address any ethical/social issues relevant to your research topic.
- Reach decisions or conclusions based on the analysis and synthesis of evidence.
Content
Please remember that the nature of the class is to investigate international aviation management and its three elements: the nature of international aviation business; working in a foreign environment; and managing in an international environment
The focus of the paper should revolve around this theme. Papers that do not address this topic, but focus instead on other important, but irrelevant issues, will not grade well.
