Organizational Structures of IAG Group and Its Business Units
Based on information publicly available and on your understanding of the airline business, write a report reviewing the specific organisation setup, commenting on topics such as:
– Review the company structure and critically evaluating key differences between Group level and wider company. Ensure that you cover challenges and opportunities in being structured this way.
– What are the advantages and disadvantages of centralising business services at group level instead of leaving them inside the single airlines?
– What other activities could be centralised at the group level without significantly impacting the wider business and strategic business units?
– Identify the various types of airline metrics – financial and non-financial which are reported at group level and state why these are important for the organisation at group and those at strategic business units.
– With economies of scale in mind, what challenges and benefits will Air Europa deal bring and how will this impact the wider IAG group and its companies?
