This business provides ‘top of the line’ airplanes to satisfy and comfort the traveller. Nowadays, Qatar Airways is considered to be one of the dominant leading airlines in the world.

Qatar Airways is a public limited company; there are many advantages, becoming a PLC, this means that Qatar Airways will be recognized on a global scale and will attract shareholders in the stock market to buy shares.

The case study regarding Sharon Duchesneau and Candace McCullough and their son Gauvin is a very complex scenario to try to analyze and figure out whether or not it was morally right for them to intentionally make their son born deaf. Deafness to some may be seen as a disability or handicap and to others may be seen as a cultural identity. There are a number of factors that are needed to determine whether it was morally justified what Gauvin’s parents had done. After reading the case study thoroughly and doing further research I have a strong opinion towards this situation and believe that it was morally wrong what Duchesneau and McCullough had done.

The purpose of the article, “Ethical Dilemmas in the Intensive Care Unit,” is to discuss two important ethical issues that health care workers in the intensive care units face. The first dilemma is treating a nonverbal patient, the second being medical futility. I chose this article because I intend to go into the critical care field once I finish nursing school.

Competing with not only with domestic carriers but also with foreign carriers, Delta Air Lines has to do everything possible in order to win the business. Well-funded airlines in the Gulf regions like Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways who increase their services to the United States from their hub in Middle East make it impossible for domestic carriers like Delta to stay in profit ("DAL 12.31.2014 10K," n.d.). Furthermore, these international carriers who are either funded or supported by the government are able to purchase the newest wide body aircrafts. Having a newest fleet amongst its competitors pleases the customers and helps save more fuel on the long haul international flights saving the company money on fuel and increases the customer service at the same
Many ethical dilemmas are philosophical in nature, an ethical issue can be described as a problem with no clear resolution. In order to solve the issue or dilemma a consensus between the parties involved must be reached.

Porter stated; “for an airline to succeed in the marketplace, it must have a sustainable competitive advantage” (Porter M. E., 2008). The airline industry is the highest competitive industry, and I believe a sustainable completive advantage is essential to succeed in the future of the aviation industry. The competitive advantages that an airline embrace, needs to be based on the airlines strategy and differentiation to competitors. Emirates displays how it has a strategy and how the airline gets ahead of its competitors through how unique it is.
Vision and mission statements play a vital role in the strategic planning of an organization. Aguinis (2013) states defining an organization’s current and future identity are a key component of the strategic planning process. Strategic planning creates a blueprint to chart an organization’s goals and to aid in the division of resources to properly achieve the established goals (Aguinis, 2013). Properly communicating the goals and identity of an organization are essential if employees are to completely understand their purpose and mission to the organization. A review of the vision and mission statements for Harley Davidson reflects certain insights into the identity of the organization but also reflects some areas of improvement in adequately including the eight characteristics of an ideal mission statement.

A company’s mission is just a big goal that needs to be accomplished within a certain amount time and should support the company’s overall vision. Within the organizations mission there can be smaller goals which need to be achieved to attain the mission. A mission statement will describe, “the purpose of the company, and/or what the company strives to do” by a certain time. (Hill, Jones, & Schilling, 2015). “A mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how it aims to serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the stakeholders most often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or communities (i.e., in the form of social or environmental impact) can also be discussed” (Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan, 2015).
