University and Business School Lectures

AirLearn delivers
a range of lectures, seminars, and one-on-one sessions at leading business,
management, aviation, and law schools on five continents. In these settings,
Rob functions as a clinical professor, supplementing regular
faculty. Click here to see slides from a
recent presentation.
It's a lot of
teaching: each year, Rob reaches about 2000 students at more than 20
schools. The number of classroom hours approximates that of many
full-time faculty!
Rob offers
presentations across a broad range of topics. He fits well in marketing, strategy,
management, organizational behavior, and general finance classes.
Because he spent
most of his airline career in marketing, he covers all 4 P’s of Professor
Kotler's famous marketing mix:
Product
§ Schedule and
network development (the most fundamental aspect of the airline product)
§ Inflight service
design and delivery
§ Service quality:
issues and challenges
§ New approaches to
remediation after service failure
Place
§ Airline
sales-channel strategy and e-Distribution
Price
§ Fundamentals of
airline pricing and revenue management
§ Customer
perception of airline pricing
Promotion
§ Airline loyalty
and frequent-flyer programs
§ Airline
advertising and branding
§ Case studies in
airline advertising
§ Essentials of
airline PR and corporate communications
§ Crisis management
squared: airline marketing responses after the September 11 attacks
Finance,
strategy, management, and HR professors have invited Rob to present the
following:
§ Why is it so hard
for airlines to make money?
§ Airline
alliances: why they form, how they work, how to make them work better
§ Effective management
and leadership: personal testimony from a long career
§ Managing people
in the airline industry
§ Effective
employee communication and engagement
§ Understanding corporate
culture
Custom
presentations to meet special needs can be developed quickly. As in
the airline business, it’s all about speed and flexibility!
The Airline
Management Short Course
In 2007, AirLearn
began offering a 15-30 hour "short course" that gives
non-specialists a thorough introduction to the complexities and many challenges
of managing a commercial airline, with special reference to older carriers
that came of age in a regulated market. It is not intended as
specialized training, but rather to illustrate real-world management
challenges and responses in a dynamic, evolving, and highly necessary
industry. It has broad appeal to a wide range of students.
