This week on Larisa's BotW "Air France pilots end long strike"
A short summary of the article: Basically Air France pilots are striking because of disagreements with the company, that is trying to keep up with the low cost flights, where pilots get less money for those flights ´, which they find unfair and not acceptable!
This perfectly to our current topic, more specifically to topic 1.4 Stakeholders. This case study is a perfectly example of stakeholder conflicts, where different stakeholder groups do not agree with each other, causing a conflict between those too. In this case there are several. Employees as well as shareholders are against the new strategy of the company, where as the mangers and directors as well as the customers see the strategy as something good. Shareholders, in this case also the government, do not want the protests to continue due to loss of money that they could be receiving. Employees do not find the new strategy fair, due to less income per month, which is the reason why they are striking. Managers see an opportunity to keep up with competitors, and need to be cutting on loans because differently it wouldn't be manageable. and lastly the customers see a great chance of flying around with cheaper flights. this again shows that a company cannot satisfy every stakeholder group at once ´, and it swell shows that in ths specific case there was a very unbalanced impact on different stakeholder groups, meaning that the company will have to change something, because unmotivated and angry employees will result in unhappy customers which could in extreme cases lead to very very low income, due to customers choosing other companies for a comfortable flight.
4/4 - very good exploration of this case from the perspective of stakeholders and stakeholder conflict - how could they solve this?
