- Managing the information resource of a firm focused both on “engaging with customers” and competing “more effectively on multiple levels against the low-pricing structures offered by low-cost carriers” entailed many challenges, which Air Canada’s CIO and her team had been addressing in multiple ways. How was Air Canada addressing these challenges in 2011?
- Based on Luftman and Kempaiah’s five-stage maturity model, at which stage of alignment is Air Canada’s IT and Business alignment? What challenges did Air Canada face in reaching this stage? What are the challenges now?
