JET BLUE AND WESTJET: A tale of two IS projects 1. How important is the reservation systems at airlines such as WestJet and JetBlue. How does it impact operational activities and decision making? Over the past years‚ customers have been heavily relying on airline reservation systems to book their tickets‚ reserve seats‚ pay for the tickets and also check-in online. For customers‚ this has been a very convenient method and they are able to easily plan their trips. For the Airline companies

Explain how and why groups of customers are targeted for selected products What is segmentation? Market segmentation is the division of a market into sub groups with similar characteristics. A business can then target these groups and develop products and services for each of them. There are several ways in which consumers can be split up into. These is geographically which includes location‚ demographically which includes gender‚ social class‚ age‚ income‚ ethnicity or religion‚ psycho graphically

Market segmentation as defined by Kerin‚ author of Marketing‚ 10e; involves grouping potential customers who have common needs and will respond similarly to a marketing action. In further elaboration to define segmentation‚ if there is a demographic group of customers who are all on diets and are watching their weight (common needs/desires) and a business

Market segmentation allows businesses to satisfy the diversity in a resource-effective manner and is held up as the panacea of modern marketing (Dibb‚ 2001). Marketing segmentation is more and more vital for business in the modern time. This essay‚ therefore‚ tend to introduce the concept of market segmentation first‚ then and the merits and difficulties will be illustrated. Finally‚ different approaches are going to be demonstrated. Market segmentation is the process by which a diverse market

Marketing Segmentation Theory based on selling Oxygen bars 1) Demographic Consumer age‚ gender‚ income‚ occupation are considered to be the main factors for demographic segmentation. Other factors like race‚ religion‚ nationality is not emphasized here because product usage will be less affected by those factors. Currently‚ similar-functioned products available in the market have a wide consumer age base‚ ranging from 20+ to 50+. I believe that this age difference does reflect the difference in

C IMPACT OF JET EXPERIMENT 1 Aim To find the impact force caused by a fluid jet on a horizontal plate and a hemispherical shell and compare it with the expected theoretical force. 2 Theory When a rubber ball strikes a solid surface it nicely rebounds from the solid surface. The amount of rebound would depend on the coefficient of restitution. However‚ when a steady fluid jet strikes a solid surface‚ it does not rebound. But‚ a stream of fluid is formed which moves over the surface and the fluid

Title Impact of water jet Objective The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the application of the momentum equation. The force generated by a jet of water deflected by an impact surface is measured and compared to the momentum change of the jet. To relate: • Direct measurement of impact forces • Effect of flow rate and velocity • Effect of various deflection angles Introduction / Theory Newton’s Second law states that The applied forces is equal

Besides that‚ the results from the experiment have to be compared with the theoretical calculations too. 1.0 Introduction Water turbines are widely used throughout the world to generate power. By allowing fluid under pressure to strike the vanes of a turbine wheel‚ mechanical work can be produced. Rotational motion is then produced by the force generated as the jet strikes the vanes. One
