The COB’s vision is to create industry-centered products that address critical challenges, ensuring our research and educational programs closely align with industry demands and expectations.
business aviation and technology. For instance, the research projects presented by our faculty members cover a wide range of critical topics, such as consumer heuristics related to the airport travel experience and AI technology’s impact on retail interactions. These initiatives contribute to academic knowledge and provide actionable insights that industry stakeholders can apply directly to their operations. By maintaining a focus on integrating advanced technology and sustainability into our projects, we remain significantly immersed in the aviation and aerospace innovation process. The COB is committed to continuing its impactful contributions, ensuring that our research, products and collaborations effectively address industry challenges and drive progress.
One example of our industry-oriented strategy is the airport compensation database initiative, which is designed to advance strategic airport management. The recruitment-related compensation and certification database aims to provide detailed information on job descriptions, compensation levels and required education across various airport roles. It allows airports to benchmark their compensation and recruitment strategies against industry standards, ensuring that they remain competitive and attract top talent. By focusing on these essential human resource metrics, we are helping industry manage the challenges of recruitment and retention in a competitive market. Our faculty actively participate in industry conferences and workshops, sharing the latest research findings and positioning the COB as a thought leader in
