A “digital transformation and disruption landscape” refers to the current environment where businesses are rapidly changing due to the emergence of new digital technologies, impacting their operations, business models, and customer interactions, often leading to significant disruptions in established industries, forcing companies to adapt and evolve through “digital transformation” to remain competitive.
Key aspects of the digital transformation and disruption landscape:
Emerging technologies:
This includes advancements like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR), which drive innovation and new business possibilities.
Customer expectations:
With increased digital access, customers demand personalized experiences, seamless interactions, and immediate gratification, pushing businesses to adapt their offerings and customer service strategies.
Disruptive business models:
New entrants often leverage digital technologies to create entirely new business models that disrupt existing industries, like online marketplaces replacing traditional retail or streaming services disrupting cable TV.
Data-driven decision making:
Access to vast amounts of data enables businesses to make informed decisions based on customer insights and market trends, facilitating agile adaptation.
Impact on industries:
Every sector is experiencing digital disruption, including retail, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, transportation, and media, requiring companies to rethink their operations and strategies.
Distinction between Digital Transformation and Disruption:
Digital Transformation:
A proactive process where a company strategically integrates digital technologies to improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and optimize business operations.
Digital Disruption:
A more radical change caused by new technologies that significantly disrupt an existing market or industry, often leading to the decline of established players if they fail to adapt.
Key areas of digital transformation:
Process transformation: Streamlining operations by automating tasks and optimizing workflows.
Business model transformation: Shifting to new revenue models or product offerings enabled by digital technologies.
Customer experience transformation: Enhancing customer interactions through personalized digital channels.
Cultural transformation: Fostering a digital mindset within the organization to embrace innovation and agility.

➢ I am interested in your analysis in your own words, so do not use any direct quotes.
➢ You will be submitting a professional business memo, so your recommendation must be
research-based. You should recommend a realistic strategy your company can implement.
Get Started:
➢ Step One – Select ONE of the careers you researched in your Informative Presentation.
The research for this assignment will be based on your selection.
➢ Step Two – Based on your career selection, choose a fictitious name for your medium-
sized company (between 75-249 employees). You may be located anywhere within the
United States. You are the CEO of the company.
➢ Step Three – Submit your Rec Report Discussion Post (see separate assignment for
directions). I must approve your topic before you begin your research.
Some Possible Research Areas To Consider (You are not limited to these):
➢ Employee Communication
➢ Employee Recognition Programs
➢ Remote/Hybrid Options
➢ Salary
➢ Working Conditions
➢ Work Hours
➢ Work-Life Balance
Format/Organization: Use the memo report format we have been using this semester (e.g. self-
reflection memo). Use headings and organize your report using the indirect approach of stating
the problem, analyzing which agency provides the best fit in terms of the critical factors relevant
to your company’s needs, and stating/justifying your recommendation. The report should be
complete (i.e., provide solid evidence and support), but concise. You may include tables and
figures to support your claims.
References: To demonstrate that you are basing your analysis, conclusions, and
recommendation on substantive and credible evidence, you need at least six (you can certainly
include more) reputable sources—no Wikipedia or wikis of any kind! At least one reference
must be from a peer-reviewed journal. Do not use only websites!
Use APA format within the report and insert proper in-text citations (parenthetical references –
no standalone URL links!) for facts, illustrations, or ideas taken from any of these sources. These
in-text references will correspond to the APA reference list at the end of your report. For help
with APA, check out the APA links on our resource page, or visit Purdue OWL. Be sure to cite
using the APA 7th edition.

Overview
In your role as controller of a division of TransGlobal Airlines, you are responsible for assessing the possible acquisition of the two identified small airlines in the Caribbean specializing in chartered flights for luxury vacations using light aircraft (60 passengers or less).
One of the important steps in this acquisition process is analyzing, understanding, and identifying all the external and internal elements that can affect the organization’s performance, and, as businesses are greatly influenced by their environment, all the situational factors that determine how day-to-day circumstances impact firms. You can assess situational factors by performing a business environment analysis. The analysis entails assessing the level of threat or opportunity these situational factors might present. These evaluations are later translated into the decision-making process. The analysis helps align strategies with the firm’s environment. You will use the PESTEL method to perform this analysis.
Prompt
Use the information provided to you in the TransGlobal Airlines Information document to perform a business environment analysis using the PESTEL method. Your task is to analyze the internal and external business environment of TransGlobal Airlines by identifying the impact of each PESTEL factor on the business environment.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Identify one political factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Identify one economic factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Identify one sociological factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Identify one technological factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Identify one environmental factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Identify one legal factor that can affect the company’s business environment and explain any potential impact on acquisition strategy.
Submit a 1- to 2-page Word document using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

The University of Missouri Extension Office released an interesting article and here is a quote from it. “A typical study points out that many of us spend 70 to 80 percent of our waking hours in some form of communication. Of that time, we spend about 9 percent writing, 16 percent reading, 30 percent speaking, and 45 percent listening. Studies also confirm that most of us are poor and inefficient listeners” (Lee & Hatesohl, n.d., para. 1).
Can you believe that 45% of our communication hours are spent listening? This week, Floyd is going to discuss nonverbal messages as well as listening and learning. I think in a professional development class, we can always look at our listening skills. If you are interested on how well of a listener you are, click here to take a short listening quiz: Listening Quiz.
As the assistant store manager at Kohl’s, almost 60% of my day was spent listening to others. Employees would request to chat about problems at home or work issues. I would have meetings with my area supervisors and listen to their concerns and the department leads. Then, we would have a store management meeting with the district or our store manager. Now, let’s add in the customers that requested the manager on duty, and if it were my turn to run the floor, I would have to listen to customer complaints. As a professional, listening is a significant part of your development. Also, as you move into the employability seminar course, you will utilize these listening skills as that seminar takes the professional development skills and applies them to being an employee or a potential employee as you initiate the job search. I have plenty of stories I can share. To provide you information for your business toolbox, we are going to complete a research paper on listening. Below are the steps that needs to be completed. This assignment will address the following outcomes: SLO 2 and SLO 3.
Assignment Directions
1. Choose any topic that interests you from chapter 4 in our Floyd e-book. The topic I chose is a mix of Effective Listening and learning and Overcoming Barriers to Successful Listening.
2. Text me the topic that you want to write about and I will provide approval or help you narrow down a topic for the paper.
3. Write a one to two-page research paper discussing your approved topic. The title and reference pages do not count toward the two content pages. Please make sure to use APA formatting. Please review the APA folder if needed. You must find one resource from the online library, which will be a journal article. Let me know if anyone needs help performing research in the online library, and I will help you. Your second source will be the Floyd e-book.
4. The paper is worth 50 points, and I have included the paper rubric as it will demonstrate how the paper will be graded. Thirty points of the grade is based on the content of the paper, five points will be provided if you have the two required resources in your essay, five points will be based on writing skills and mechanics, and ten points will be provided for the presentation of the paper. The presentation of the paper includes proper APA formatting, thesis, paragraph development, etc. I will also post the writing checklist if you choose to review it.
Happy learning and let me know if you need anything.
