Task: Pairs Report, 2,500-words (maximum)
- In your Seminars, form a pair (2 students = 1 pair)
- In your pairs, read, study, and analyse the Airline Case Study
- Engage in further research on the company, its leadership style, its innovation(s), and the competitors and rivals in its industry / sector
- Analyse, using theories and examples from our classes, materials, and reading lists, plus data, facts, and figures from your own research, how the company has blended leadership and innovation, in order to continue to be successful and sustainable in the future
- Analyse how you as a student / pair can ensure you develop leadership and innovation qualities in your studies, career, and life beyond graduation
- Write your analysis in a 2,500 word report (maximum), fully referenced, and ensuring your report is creative and visually engaging (images, tables, charts, graphs, links), as well as full of academic analysis.

- how the company has synthesised its leadership and innovation processes, in order to be successful (approx 1,000 words / 40%)
- how the company’s leaders can enable it to continue to innovate and be successful and sustainable in the future (approx 1,000 words / 40%)
- Conclusion: how a student can ensure they develop leadership and innovation qualities in their studies, career, and life beyond graduation (approx 250 words / 10%)
- References / bibliography (Harvard style, see: https://student.londonmet.ac.uk/library/subject-guides-and-research-support/referencing-and-copyright/referencing/
- Ensure everyone contributes equally behind the scenes. You will need to engage in further research on the company, and its industry / sector rivals and competitors. You will each need to approach this Assignment 1 in a pro-active and enthusiastic style, so we are looking for leadership and innovation in practice!
