This paper presents several very interesting diagnostics for a comprehensive process-oriented validation of CCMs and CTMs in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) and their application to the GMI CTM. It hence is a valuable contribution to ongoing validation activities within the different communities (e.g. QUANTIFY or CCMVal). However, the presentation and discussion of some diagnost...

Broadly defined, revenue management (RM) is the process of maximizing revenue from a fixed amount of perishable inventory using “market segmentation” and “demand management” techniques. While RM is not new (in fact it is as old as commerce, e.g., haggling in a market can be considered a form of RM), the theory and practice of RM have seen significant scientific and practical advances in the las...

Thus, dynamic pricing is often utilized to maximize profit while allowing better pricing against competition at the same time. In order for dynamic pricing to be effective, airline company has to take in consideration both internal and external information. Tactical pricin...

This study investigates the impact of 306 strategic alliances on the increment of firm value in the case of China. I apply the event study methodology using OLS market model to examine the abnormal returns of sample firms. The results show that the announcements of strategic alliance in China generate significant positive average abnormal return on the announcement date (0.96%) which reaches 1%...

Changes in the U.S. domestic airline route system have increased competition between international gateways. To assist in understanding this phenomenon, a system of models that predicts airline passenger flows resulting from different airline gateway hubbing strategies has been developed. The calibrated rnodels predict baseline passenger Mows quite accurately. The system was then used to projec...

In recent years, there are many theories and models such as transaction cost theory and the resource-based view have been proposed to explain the formation of strategic alliances. However, the perspectives are usually limited and incomplete. Additionally, the problem of resource allocation is also a serious issue when firms enter strategic alliances. The paper, here, proposes a holistic perspec...
