Statement of Work—Project Description and
Project Product
Business strategy encompasses various elements, scopes, and
related theories. With a construct logic that implies, the layout
or design of value formation, distribution, and measure require
employed, intend of the project is examining business strategy
improvement globalization skills and process design based on
the paradigm of service-dominant logic. The steps to be
undertaken are define the project’s concept, develop a timeline
and budget, analyze its benefits and carry out a research to
establish the basis of business strategy improvement based on
service-dominant logic.
Project DeliverablesBusiness strategy at a conceptual level
includes all actors (human and technology) and activities
(exchanges) involved in data exchange, information and strategy
that enable decision-making needed for the conduct of business.
These include:
· The full business strategy process
· Terms that are used to describe the same concepts of concepts
that are regarded similar when viewed at a conceptual level for
example market strategy (or marketing strategy), product
strategy, competitive strategy, in the context of the overall
business strategy.
·
8. Solution
s, technologies and methodologies useful interchangeably in
reference to business strategy or subsets such as reporting,
analytics, or Customer relationship management etc. insofar as
they are involved in information exchange and strategies that
enable decision-making needed for business conduct.
· The end-to-end flow of business strategy exchanges rather
than at level at which the exchange occurs. This may include
strategies within or beyond the organization that is micro and
macro levels. The project examines the relationship between
SDL and business strategy framework to acquire organization’s
goals and objectives. A literature study across different
industries, on academic and practitioner literature as well as
international literature will be used.
Project Objectives
The cost of the project is approximated to be $400 running from
14th of May 2021 to 30th of July 2021. The first task on the
schedule is assessing business models in the airline industry,
followed by convergence of business models. The third task is
describing and analyzing commoditization of the Airline
Service product and lastly innovation in the context of the
9. Airline industry. The project will run for 58 days till its
completion.
The quality objectives of the project are to provide an insight of
business strategy in relation to SDL framework within the
Airline industry. The major objective is to support the case
industry in devising and adopting the most suitable business
strategy as guided by the paradigm of service-dominant logic
which is designed to build a more resolute and sustainable
future development and success.
Project Assumptions
The assumptions for the project are that SDL helps improve
operations and business relationships in the Airline industry.
The project bases on the fact that S-D logic is of value creation
and since the values as perishable and closely linked with the
product itself, as it is embedded in units of output. SDL also
holds that value is co-created and realized in use as well as is
customer-oriented and relational. Another assumption is that
practical implementation of S-D logic in the Airline industry
helps make certain changes at operational levels contributing to
realization of set objectives and goals.
Project ConstraintsThe limitations is that while providing
fundamental concepts applied within the field of strategic
management within Airline industry, a separate consideration in
terms of overall discussion is required. The reason is that the
knowledge is the most supportive of the research undertaken in
10. the case industry. The theoretical background of the study will
provide the relevance to the Airline industry and will not cover
the concepts and models related to other industries or sectors.
Due to the time constraint, the study will explore the subject
area within a specific period making data collection process
limited to number of participants.
Exclusions
The airline industry is very broad, even though provision of the
general idea of industry’s image and scope, the key emphasis is
the given research is made on exchange of intangible resources
and the co-creation of value with customers in the airline
industry. The project focuses nature of operations and needs of
the Airline industry. The research focuses exclusively in the
United States and particularly Naperville, Illinois segment,
since the case company is located in the mentioned city and
serves for the clients living primarily in the area. In addition,
the research does not aim at building a new general theory and
results produced do not guarantee applicability beyond the
context of the case study.
Acceptance Criteria The final product must prioritize output,
such as production-ready, concrete materials, as well as
identifying opportunities for partnership value building. The
product's aim should be to increase the number of ongoing
purchases with consumers, as well as to improve their long-term
patronage and partnership marketing. The commodity should
11. elevate the competitive significance of the lifetime benefit of
the consumer relationship, regardless of the mix of services and
products, according to the efficiency criteria.
Technical RequirementsThe product will work as a tool that
supports airline industry operations for the benefit of the
customer. The product should incorporate innovation as an open
process that extends beyond the confines of an organization,
should allow strategic flexibility by emphasizing on value of
operant capital, and help kick start business strategy renewal.

Project concept
The business strategy concept has also been interpreted in a
13. number of ways, with different elements, scopes, and related
theories. The construct is commonly defined as "the layout or
design of the value formation, distribution, and measures
require employed." Other scholars concur, suggesting additional
aspects to the theory and practice of marketing strategies, such
as the consumer experience (Baden-Fuller & Haefliger, 2013),
psychological (Yunus, Moingeon & Lehmann-Ortega, 2010), or
monetary components (Yunus, Moingeon & Lehmann-Ortega,
2010). (Chesbrough & Rosenbloom, 2002). Furthermore, the
range of the business strategy build was perceived differently.
Several interpretations limit its application to the confines of
the business (Osterwalder & Pigneur, 2009; Afuah, 2004).
Others, on the other hand, look at the economic model from a
network viewpoint (Zott & Amit, 2010).
Finally, scientists have differing opinions on the conceptual
independence of the business strategy framework. As a result,
some scholars regard the marketing strategy build as a
subordinate term to policy that is "the direct consequence of
policy but is not a plan in and of itself." As a result, designing a
marketing strategy is the process of putting strategy into action
(Velu, 2014). The concept, on the other hand, is described as an
objective principle that is unrelated to strategy.
14. Proposed Timeline
Budget
Benefits
All economic activities, according to Service Dominant Logic
(SDL), are manifestations of service. As a result, physical
objects are seen as bundles of human information and are a
materialized type of service. As a result, physical objects are
seen as bundles of human information and are a materialized
type of service. A company is thought of as a set of operand and
operant tools. Since the organization cannot uniquely mix of
value because of its value network, it progressively configures
its tools to collaborate with its surrounding environment in
order to form pricing strategies with mutual agreement. In the
business model design, consumers, suppliers, and other
economic actors are cocreators and resource integrators
(Ordanini, & Parasuraman, 2011). People and companies with
expertise, competences, talents, and experience will improve the
relationship between the organization and the value network,
resulting in a competitive edge. In the value chain co -
15. production, system can help as a conversational and relational
tool, allowing interaction and cooperation between actors in the
eco-system.
Since it is abstractly rooted in the service industry but does not
adjust a production approach, service-dominant logic allows for
the examination of business models from a user ’s perspective.
It has significant consequences for the design, method, and
result of innovativeness:
1. Innovation is an open process that extends beyond the
confines of an organization.
SDL's collective aspect characterizes creativity as an endeavor
that is outwardly focused on the external world. Customers,
vendors, and workers must collaborate in order for creativity to
be realized. As a result, the consumer has the ability to
innovate. Since market orientation change is a process of
learning, customer experience can help reduce the risk involved
with it.
2. The corporation's creative ability and capacity are determined
by experience and understanding strategic flexibility.
SDL emphasizes the value of operant capital and views
expertise as the most important factor. argues that intelligence
is the “primary – and possibly the only – basis of competitive
advantages.” To expand its depth of knowledge, an organization
uses outside (e.g., clients, distributors) and organizational (e.g.,
staff members) information sources. Using customer awareness
16. to start the innovation and creativity and help a company
develop intellectual capital that encourage additional
innovation. Companies must develop dynamic skills to
efficiently learn and gain information, as per Lush (2011), in
order to respond the business model. In this regard, Saluki,
Wijewardena, and McColl Kennedy (2011) added an
information aspect to the concept of competitive advantage,
defining them as “an organization’s ability to intentionally
build, expand, or change its information tools, capacities, or
habits to seek improved effectiveness.” However, due to a lack
of effective distribution channels, organizations struggle to
integrate external information sources into the development
process.
3. The start of business strategy transition is cooperative new
value design.
A new logic or enhancement of the consumer business model
kickstarts business strategy renewal. According to Maglio and
Spohrer (2013), "value creation can be interpreted as value-
strategy design. As a result of technological advances, the
conventional reach of resource technology solutions in the value
chain proposition design has been expanded beyond economic
organizations to include social actors.

It’s understood that the budget is created to ensure all
requirements are met. These requirements can consist of
contractors, software, applications, and any additional
resources. Evaluating risks at the beginning of the project has
created budget that will maintain any additional needs. We’re
taking a week to interview and select candidates to for the
project. Our goal is to hire 3 business analysts along with
additional contractors for a total of 6. Our budget grant us
leniency on the number of employees needed.
When evaluating risks, it must be understood that timing is
subjected to change. Our project will last approximately 53 but
we will extend contractors if needed. Stakeholders will be
notified of any additional changes that will affect the budget.
19. We plan to manage the budget with the scope and adding any
additional details to the scope if needed.

As we head into the latter half of our project, we learned that
we are on track to completing the project as scheduled. We
learned that we will not exceed the planned budget. However, it
is critical that we maintain each task and complete the task to
align with any necessary time allocated for risks. Overall, the
project is at 50% completion. Because the performance value i s
equal to 1, it details that our project is on schedule. The equal
worked is the planned worked by this time. It is critical to know
that the earned value analysis is accurate to determine the
completion and the success rate of the project. In addition, by
monitoring the project at 50% determine the status of the
project going forward.
