DQ1

Return to HBS case reprint, “Southwest
Airlines: In a Different World.” The case study makes it clear that a
significant shift in organizational strategy requires collaboration across
multiple departments, or functions, within a business. Review the case and
discuss how you think Southwest’s plan to serve La Guardia would impact two primary
business functions (e.g., marketing, operations, human resources, finance,
accounting, and IT). Consider how coordinating efforts of the two functions to
successfully serve La Guardia might affect management and decision making. How
integral is collaboration among business functions to the success of
Southwest’s plan? Cite specifics from the case in your response.
