to implement the changes. If those who benefit are different stakeholders from those whop implement the changes this can also increase the barriers to change. The airline industry is
likely any other, changes can be resisted. In this industry major changes, as seen with the changes as a result of the terrorist attacks may be accepted as necessary, there
