Emirates Airlines is airline industry that is analysed with help of PEST which are
described below:

Political Factor- The laws made by government of a country impose strict regulations on
their operations and policies (Clark, 2016). There is also restrictions on monopolistic behaviour
of company which leads to increased competition for country and then forces them to keep their
prices low to survive in market. It also builds a pressure on them.
Economic Factor- Economic factors such as attacks of 9/11 has majorly affected airlines
industry. Also, fluctuations in prices of oil and global slowdown all these factors have affected
this has affected this industry in a negative manner. Recent event such as Disappearance of
Malaysian airline is also affecting aviation industry in a negative manner.
Social Factor- Millennial generation has bought many social changes, this generation has

of aircraft which is difficult for new players. This industry requires high brand value, goodwill
for entering into market which is difficult at initial stage.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers- The product of industry is aircraft which has two
suppliers such as Airbus and Boeing who dominate market easily. The respective organisation
has low bargaining power as there are only two suppliers of products. Supplier has right to
charge any prices from organisation. In case of delay in delivery of product, rise in price of
aircraft leads to loss to business and revenue for organisation.
Bargaining Power of Buyers- The bargaining power is high as there are large number of
industry offering services to national and international routes. They can easily switch to other

service providers if quality and price are standard to them. Emirates Airlines has high bargaining
power of supplier due to many existing industry.
Threat of Substitute Goods- This industry provide two services such as economy and
luxury travel (Eriksson and Steenhuis, 2015). There is change in prices between two categories
that leads them to opt for economy travel for short distance. Apart from this, people also prefer

then comes the stage where they can do expansion of their operations (Klimas, 2016). In a way
that could help company in establishing themselves in those countries where they are not having
presence. In case of Emirates Airlines also company is planning to introduce Airbus38 to places
such as USA, Boston and Glasgow.

Lewin. It is the method which mainly includes five phases, which assist in encouraging and
motivating staff members so that they can accept change arise within the organisation. All these
phases or stages are going to be explained as follows:

activities such as span of control decentralization, low specialization, and loose
departmentalization. It is visual diagram of a company which describe employees what do and
whom to report which use functions, markets, products, geographies, or processes as their guide,
and cater to businesses of specific sizes and industries. As the company gets bigger, an

organisational structure can be useful for new employees who can manages and operate it

In the context of Emirates Abu Dhabi help in maintaining effective and smooth

Higher cost- Every plan has a forecasted cost but there can be a situation when during
