Forwards U.S. management experts Peters and Waterman have written in the “In Search of Excellence” that the most successful company does not rely on strict regulations or profitability goals, nor can its successes be attributed to tools, methods, techniques, or even technology, but is ultimately the result of a successful corporate culture. The success of any company is driven by its corporate culture – inclusive of the corporate environment, human resources, recognition of value, and management framework; any synergy amongst group members is also integral. It is noted in the growth of successful businesses that corporate culture plays a guiding role for lasting and sustainable development, crucial for the business’s teamwork development. Since laying the cornerstone of the company’s development in 1994, the company has constantly grown to engender a safe, service-based enterprise vision. Teamwork with Shandong Airlines is united, honest, forward-looking, and creative – paving the way for a distinctive, rich, and widely recognized corporate culture. It allows for our staff to realize their own potential while developing the company in its entirety in a drive for perfection – the system for the identification of the corporate culture of Shandong Airlines Group. This system is fully representative of the spirit of the civil aviation industry, as well as the unique character of Shandong Airlines itself. It is designed to be fitting of China’s reformed market economy, and is a validation of the successful construction of Shandong Airlines. With a distinct corporate culture mixed with the ideals and aspirations of the entire team, the company’s cultural soul seeps into every corner of production and every department of the company – turning into practical production forces that continue to provide the Airline with sustainable development and maintenance. 2. Company Logo The company logo is an integral part of the company, and serves as an everyday symbol for the company’s staff and customers. Its symbolism is intricate and meaningful. Firstly, three “S” shaped curves are representative a species of birds with much disciplined flight patterns. At the same time, it is a symbol for unity. Secondly, the three “S”-shaped wings look like a variation of the character “Shan” in Chinese, the first character of Shandong province. Thirdly, the three “S”s represent Shandong, Safety, and Success respectively. Fourthly, the wings around the logo with the eight lines are representative for the eternal safe flight of Shandong Airlines. 3.

Development Strategies and Goals We have a very clearly defined path. Our main air routes are the focus, and they will be seamlessly integrated onto our peripheral routes. We are establishing ourselves in Shandong, but we are penetrating the national market and reaching out to the world. Shandong Airlines has created opportunities and provided the backdrop for the development, tourism, and cultural exchanges in and around the province. The robust economy of Shandong has also strengthened the position of the airline. Shandong has one of the largest economies in China, and is situated at a favourable geographical location and has enormous potential. With its roots in Shandong, it is exploring the integration of its primary and peripheral routes and its expansion nationally and internationally. The airline will establish a system whereby air transportation is the core competency of the company, with peripheral attachments in aircraft repair, flight training, aircraft food, hospitality, air cargo, and other areas of development. 5.

This is the mainstream corporate culture for Shandong Airlines, and is also the major force behind our growth. 6.
