Interest in Researching and Visitation

I am interested in researching the company to explore its historical development. Business history has become an important part of academic history. It will offer insights into how the company truly is, its value, and how its living legacy and historical roots impact its every level. As such, American Airline’s historical development virtually shows the founding bedrock on which it stands to date by highlighting both the good times and bad times and every aspect of its legacy. In the same vein, I am interested in visiting the firm to make the compilation and sharing of the firm’s history enjoyable and successful. In this way, it will be easier to reflect on the values that guided the company and honor the efforts that catapulted it to its current successful position. Therefore, the interest in researching and visiting American Airlines is premised on determining its corporate history and sharing the experience, both lows and highs, that constitute its present success.
