Please do SAEC and SEL on Airbus company. Identify issues about the company and the external environment it is in, that is a relevant industry sector (from global perspective and with consideration of ethical decision making). Recommend the strategy for it, and strategy implementation (functional strategies). The strategy recommendation depends on the strategic problems observed and identified through the tools used in the SCAN analysis. So please remember that the topic is your company, and the issues addressed in the recommended strategy are the strategic problems to face in your project.

This is the first part of your strategic plan. This will be the ONLY part where you include data that you have researched (be sure to reference your facts when doing this paper). When you get to SEL you will use this information to identify a strategy that you think the firm should follow (as opposed to one that they are following). Then you will describe how they should implement your strategy (not what they are currently doing). The implementation will be the second assignment in SEL, with the first being an edit of this assignment from SAEC. Thus SEL will demonstrate YOUR ability to make decision about how best to manage a firm's resources as opposed to your ability to conduct research.
