20A – GROWING YOUR SOCIAL CAPITAL

Domain Expert: Santiago M.
-Santiago is a Colombian born student who studied Aviation Engineering in the United States.
-Santiago is a friend I met in High school and have maintained a good healthy friendship throughout the years. For this assignment we texted back an forth.
-Santiago provided me key insisght on how new airlines are being built and how they are a lot more cost efficient of what they used to be. His degree and his job at a well known airplane manufacturer makes him extremely qualified to feed me with this valuable information.
- Bringing Santiago on board would be incredible as he is extremely knowledgeable of the airline industry.

Market Expert: Annonymous as the person wished his name was not used
-Annon is an american that has worked for 40 years with the latinamerican market.
- I met annon in a networking event in south florida, and we connected as he had lived and worked many years in my home country of Chile. FOr the purpose of this assignment we emailed each other back and forth.
-Annon gave me a lot of insight in how to treat the South American clients, and North American clients alike. His vast experience with these markets make him more than qualified to give me information about what are the do's and do not's when dealing with these target market.
- Bringing annon on board would be a star addition to the group as he knows the exact way to target the audience effectively.

Industry Supplier: Gabriel M.
-Gabriel is also colombian, resides in florida and sells many products througout south america.
-I met Gabriel in Middle School and has been a close friend ever since, as a matter of fact he was the first friend I made in the States. For the purpose of these assignment we texted each other back and forth with information.
-Gabriel is an expert selling products, from his early start at a Maserati dealership and now selling second hand electronic products through south america knows exactly what it takes to sell the product and service in this case for the airline.
- Bringing Gabriel on board would be great as his sales experience would extremely complement how we are trying to sell our service mainly to hispanic clients.

Reflection:
I believe that these 3 individuals are extremely well qualified for the job and I am sure they can provide and lead the company to where it should be. Gabriel and Santiago know each other so this relationship or partnership might be key in the near future to have everyone working at the same pace as everybody. While annon is not known by the other ones I am sure he would be fine into creating a new legacy with us at Blankenese Airlines.

11A - IDEA NAPKIN NO. 1

1)     Me:  Mario Paredes was born in Chile in 1995. After moving to the US at age 12, from Chile he has grown a lot and learned a lot. He lived one year in Germany, where he learned the German language. He now speaks fluently three languages: Spanish, English and German. Other than that, his skills are pretty much the same of an average University of Florida student. He is very good at finding good deals and purchasing good at a low price. He has had the opportunity to travel a lot on his own, where it has lead him to grow a lot as a person, throughout different experiences abroad. He does not enjoy being in his comfort zone as he feels sometimes that drags him down so he needs to be constantly looking for new upcoming challenges. By having traveled so much, and speaking different languages he has been able to detect flaws on international travel. Bringing this experience to create a new airline that starts operating within the Latin American market and especiall...

8A - SOLVING THE PROBLEM

Opportunity: I see a huge opportunity because there is an important a huge market that is not satisfied. Either people that are deal hunters like me and search for good deals to travel or professionals or people who rather spend that extra money and travel not necessarily more luxurious but have a more pleasant and comfortable flight. As we saw people that are interested right now in traveling are aware of this issue, yet nobody has really stepped up to do something about it. Obviously, this idea is not something I am committed to 100% but I do see an opportunity for a market that is hot having their wishes fulfilled. Service to be offered: My implementation would be to create an airline that competes with the current airlines that travel to South America. I am not sure now after the interviews if the low-cost or high-end airline is a better idea, this would have to go under extensive research in order to find which one would become more successful. But I pretend to offer services ...

29A – VENTURE CONCEPT NO. 2

Image
Venture: Blankenese Airlines Opportunity: I see an opportunity in opening a new airline that is top in the airline industry. We want to serve Latin American cities that are often ignored. We want to offer a good service where the comfort of our clients and travelers is the most important feature. We want to provide our customers with a good array of inflight entertainment, new and top of the line aircraft, high-quality food and service, hassle-free booking and wiggle room for luggage and carry on. Innovation: We see that people are becoming more unhappy with the flying and traveling experience. We want to restore this concept by providing something never offered before. It seems now that traveling is more complicated than ever when in reality it should be a lot more simple, exactly how it was years ago. We will make a profit without the airline mainly due to the use of airplanes that are extremely self-sufficient and the operating costs are not too much. We will also charge mo...
