Cultural Influences and Interactions within Aeronautical Organisational Systems as Prerequisites for Operational Processes
Cultural Influences and Interactions within Aeronautical Organisational Systems as Prerequisites for Operational Processes

Summary/Abstract: In the society we live in culture tends to become an abstraction, but the elements created in a social and organisational context that derive from culture are extremely important. If we do not understand how to manage these elements, which are in a complex and dynamic system, such as in the aeronautical system, then we will become their victim. Cultures have an impressive ability to create cohesion, performance and identity. They provide rules that allow diversity, regardless of its nature, to coexist. All organisations have a culture, and that of an aeronautical organisation must achieve maximum efficiency in risk conditions. Knowing the influences of each subculture helps reduce risks, and costs, and improves the organisation’s efficiency and air safety. This paper aims to present the main cultures, and the link between them, within an aeronautical system and, at the same time, to help raise awareness of the importance of understanding the cultural elements in order to improve efficiency during operational processes.
