This research assignment is a case analysis and should consist of a written report of 3,500 words addressing the requirements, as outlined below.
Your text contains a case study in Chapter 13 on the Chrysler Company and NASA. You are required to focus only on the NASA Challenger Disaster and disregard the Chrysler Company section.
You are then required to research the Challenger Disaster and also the subsequent Columbia Disaster (not in the case study).
Students are required to critically analyse both disasters and the decisions NASA made and
• Compare and contrast the two disasters
• Identify how the decision-making process contributed to the failure of both missions
• Determine what lessons NASA had or had not learned from the Challenger Disaster; changes they had implemented prior to the Columbia Disaster and discuss the appropriateness of those decisions.
• Use the determining factors in the Trull and Bay Area studies to make your own assessments of strategic decision failure for the two disasters
• Recommend what management at NASA should do subsequent to the Columbia Disaster in order to achieve strategic decision success in the future.
