 EpilogueAnthony J. Mayo, Nitin Nohria and Mark Rennella A chapter in Entrepreneurs, Managers, and Leaders, 2009, pp 191-196 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Throughout this book, we have used the airline industry to demonstrate the manner in which leaders can influence and are influenced by the context of their times. This reciprocal relationship between the individual and his or her environment can result in the creation of new businesses (by entrepreneurs), the expansion of opportunities (by managers), or the rebirth of companies on the decline (by leaders). Beyond creating, expanding, or reenergizing businesses, entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders can have a significant influence on an industry’s evolution. Although there has been much written about industry evolution, the literature has often neglected the role that leaders can and do play in shaping that evolution. Through the stories of founders and CEOs in the airline industry during the twentieth century, we hoped to highlight the powerful impact that leaders have had on an industry’s lifecycle. We believe that the manner in which airline CEOs and founders have shaped their industry is indicative of the way that executives of other industries influence their competitive and contextual landscape.1 Keywords: Business Model; Contextual Landscape; Airline Industry; Leadership Approach; Lifecycle Stage (search for similar items in EconPapers) There are no downloads for this item, see the EconPapers FAQ for hints about obtaining it.
