This book provides an overview of the aviation sector by focusing on all
major aspects embedded in the environment (subsystems) and the market of
aviation. The book explains the linkages between subsystems politics,
society, technology, economy, environment, and regulation, and how these
subsystems influence each other and the market. The book starts by
describing the aviation system, then focuses on the supply side and the
demand side of the system and in a final part focuses on steering and
controlling the system of aviation from a managerial, economic, and
regulatory perspective.
Examples and case studies of airports, airlines, and the production
industry in each chapter support the application-oriented approach. The
summary and review questions help the reader to understand the focus and
main messages of each chapter. Students and researchers in business
administration with a focus on aviation, as well as professionals in the
industry looking to refresh or broaden their knowledge in the field will
benefit from this book.
