The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

1. 7Cs of Effective Communication:
The ability to communicate effectively with others is considered a good quality of successful
people. So in order to compose an effective oral speech or written message, you just need to
understand psychology of your clients, your organization, and the community. The 7 C’s of
effective communication combined with principles would help you to attain your goal, follow
certain principles.
Communication skills are important that plays in professional life from understanding your
client to make a perfect problem solving approach. Different studies showed that it is an
important skill that helps to generate more leads.
1. Clarity
Clarity is the soul of a message. It means the accurate transfer of ideas from the sender’s side
to the receiver. Every message should be conveyed in a clear manner. Clarity comes through
clear thinking. A good message shows the idea directly and clearly.
•A writer should not start the message unless he knows how (use of language) and what (central
idea) he wants to say. A message written in the simple and ordinary language is always natural
and appreciable.
• To achieve clarity, keep in mind the following points:
– Use common and simple language.
– Construct effective sentences and short paragraphs.
– Use concrete words instead of abstract words.
– Avoid unnecessary information.
2. Correctness
Language experts say that writing is art but difficult. There is no shortcut to being a good writer. It
is learned through consistent practice and constant struggle. The message being communicated
must be correct. Correctness refers to correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Though
mistakes are never intentional yet they spoil the image.
• To achieve correctness, follow these guidelines:
– Check the accuracy of facts and figures.
– Check mistakes in punctuation, grammar, and capitalization.
– Check misspelled words.
2. – Use the right level of language.
3. Conciseness
The beauty of diction lies in its conciseness. Conciseness means brief and complete. Be as
brief as possible. But it must not be so brief as to be discourteous.
•Conciseness is a pre-requisite to effective messages. A concise message saves time and
expense for both sender and receiver.
• To achieve conciseness, observe the following suggestions:
– Remove the wordy expressions.
– Include only relevant material.
– Avoid unnecessary repetition.
4. Courtesy
Courtesy is the most important quality of the messenger. “Everyone gains where courtesy
reigns” is an old but wise saying. Courtesy means politeness. It is an attitude that shows
respect for others. It helps in building goodwill.
•It is not enough to use polite expressions like” thank you”, ”kindly”, “we appreciate”, “please”
etc but the whole letter must have a courteous tone.
• To achieve courtesy, keep in mind the following points:
– Be sincere.
– Use expressions that show respect.
– Be thoughtful and appreciative of the receiver’s point of view.
– Avoid humor.
– Avoid discriminatory language i.e., race, color, gender, creed etc.
5. Concreteness
Communicating concretely means being specific, meaningful and clear. Vague and general
messages result in no response. It helps the receiver to understand the exact idea. Concrete
use of available facts and figures adds to the authenticity of the message.
3. • To achieve concreteness, consider the following ways:
– Use clear and image building words.
– Use specific facts and figures.
– Use active voice than passive voice.
6. Consideration
Consideration is to put you in the place of the receiver. It means preparing every message with
the message receiver in mind. This mode of consideration is called “you attitude”.
•When you are truly considerate, you try to show sincere regard for his interests and benefits.
To be considerate, the following points should be kept in mind:
– See your material from your reader’s point of view.
– Focus on “you” instead of” we” e.g.,
– Be sure about the benefits of the receiver.
– Consider the needs and problems of the receiver.
-Use positive and optimistic.
7. Completeness
A message should be complete to bring the desired result. A complete message contains all the
facts required by the receiver. The receiver’s reaction to an incomplete message is often
unfavorable. An incomplete message shows negligence and carelessness of the writer.
• For completeness follow these guidelines:
– Remember the five W’s (what, when, where, why, who) and how.
– Provide all the necessary information.
– Answer all the questions asked.
– Include additional information, if desired.
•It can be said that awareness of these 7 C’s of effective communication makes you a good
communicator.
