LIMITATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE IN AIR TRANSPORT DUE TO TECHNOLOGY AND THE DYNAMICS AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT

Purpose – The paper highlights specific challenges in relation to inter-organizational communication and cooperation and analyzes safety management limitations due to lack of predictability which can lead to cascading events. Methodology/approach - The research method combines a thorough literature review, analysis of the means of control used in safety management worldwide for keeping risk at an acceptable level and evaluation of monitoring methods which must ensure functionality. Findings –The study identifies what kind of decisions affect the probability of an event to develop cascading effects and what are the influencing factors for decision failure. Research limitations/implications – The paper researches the drawbacks of management processes and strategies in achieving operational performance while dealing with technological complexity and the unpredictability of the global environment due to research and development dynamics, economic instability, or even pandemics. Practical implications –The outcome of different managerial decisions is identified and the connections between the initiator system and the dependent system when an intervention can prevent an event from having cascade effects are established. Originality/value – After reviewing the limitations of safety performances and organizational management success, the authors propose that the framework for safety risk assessment must be outlined by a network-type combinatorial structure comprising elements of knowledge
