Responses of NAS airport services ltd to environmental challenges in the catering industry in Kenya
Abstract
This research is based on the Kenya catering industry, a case study of NAS Airport
Services which caters for the worlds' airlines and all the ground service units within the
Nairobi and Mombasa airport areas.
This research was done to prove whether the theorists are correct when they state that
organizations are affected by the environment in which they operate and that this
environment brings challenges to these organizations. They also state that it is imperative
for organizations to respond to these challenges in-order to survive.
Using NAS Airport services as a case study I looked at the global and local challenges
that have faced and continue to face the organization. Like the recent terrorist threats,
high fuel prices and high costs of production. I also wanted to find out whether the
organization responded to these challenges, and whether indeed the challenges have
necessitated the rapid response by the organization in-order to survive in the catering
industry. The organization has responded either strategically or operationally to the
challenges they have faced. These responses have been responsible for the organizations
growth, leadership position and survival in this unique field for the past 55years.
