Gulf Air 's Strategic Analysis
Introduction
The objective of my report is to analyze the strategy analysis in “Gulf Air” which is very important factor for the firm’s formulated effective strategy. The external environment consists of a wide array of economic and sociopolitical factors. It is the specific market arenas that the organization has chosen in its strategy; it provides the business opportunities to the firm and it’s also a source of threats or forces that may impede the successful implementation of a strategy. Macro-environmental Analysis (PEST factors affecting Gulf Air Airlines). To analyze the macro environment, I will use the PEST analysis, which refers to political, economic, social and technical factors that confront Gulf Air airlines. Also we use SWOT analysis as well. This analysis provides a no exhaustive list of potential influences of the environment on the organization. Each of the forces is categorized by a particular macro-level external influence, which directly impacts strategic direction at Gulf Air.
Company Overview
Gulf Air Company is the national airline of Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It operates a fleet of 30 aircraft to 43 cities in 32 countries
