...SPEEDING TICKETS: A CASE STUDY OF INTERNET DISTRIBUTION AND THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY --- SHOAB MOMIN (13210690764) Case Question: 1) Who are the winners at different stages of the changing travel industry? Ans: Based on the timelines, the case can be divided into following stages. Stage: Emergence of Global Distribution Systems (GDS): By 1950s, American Airline’s growth outpaced its ability to manage its inventory of seats using manual methods. IBM and American Airline developed SABER for this purpose. This system eventually became control center for American Airlines. Witnessing the success of Sabre system, IBM developed a scaled down version called PARS, targeting medium sized airlines and by 1972, 9 out of 10 major airlines operating in US were operating on IBM PARS system. Winner: IBM is the winner of this stage as it profited the most by starting a technology race for Distribution system and capturing major market Stage: GDS companies Dominance The airlines that owned GDS enjoyed oligopoly with only 4 GDS operators providing flight schedule searching and booking capability for almost all travel agents in United States.They deployed various methods to bias the results of searches performed on their systems e.g Display bias, Architectural bias as well as booking fees charging higher booking fees from more threatening competitors. Winner: Airlines Owning the GDS systems. Due to lack of government regulations, GDS owning airlines enjoyed dominance by deploying various...

Manning Student ID: 3144948 Assignment 3 “StubHub: Ticket Scalping, a Respectable Endeavour?” Question 1 (20 marks) Identify the strengths and weaknesses of StubHub as well as the threats and opportunities this organization is facing. Note: Use point form with very explicit statements. (There are 2 marks available for each good point. Limit your answer to 10 points). Strengths: 1. Stubhub offers a risk free experience the ‘FanProtect Guarantee’ for ticket purchasers whereby they will not be charged for any purchases until Stubhub receives confirmation of delivery of those tickets. 2. Stubhub has a competitive advantage over other ticket reselling companies because they list the tickets for the seller for free, and split the fee upon a successful purchase between the seller and buyer. Also, Stubhub assumes very little risk with their business because they don’t actually carry their own ticket inventory. 3. Stubhub doesn’t disclose the names of the sellers, they have a purely level playing field among the sellers and that provides a more transparent purchasing experience for the buyers. They tickets are all comparable for their venue, price, seat number etc. regardless of the vendor selling the ticket. Additionally Stubhub will prohibit any sellers found to be illegitimate vendors from using their site. 4. Stubhub has capitalized on the professional sports team market by signing...

...Bank of Boston. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or the Federal Reserve System. Price Discrimination in the Airline Market: The Effect of Market Concentration Joanna Stavins ABSTRACT Economic theory suggests that a monopolist can price discriminate more successfully than can a perfectly competitive firm. Most real-life markets, however, fall somewhere in between the two extremes. What happens as the market becomes more competitive: Does price discrimination increase or decrease? This paper examines how price discrimination changes with market concentration in the airline market. The paper uses data on prices and ticket restrictions across various routes within the United States, controlling for distances and airport gate restrictions. Price discrimination is found to increase as the markets become more competitive. Price Discrimination in the Airline Market: The Effect of Market Concentration Joanna Stavins In a perfectly competitive market, firms have no market power to discriminate by price. At the other extreme, a monopolist can, provided he has information about consumers’ taste differences and the transaction costs of setting multiple prices do not prevent such pricing strategies. Most real-life markets, however, fall somewhere in between the two extremes. What happens as the market becomes more competitive: Does price discrimination...

...after the cinema has been cleaned as well. There may also be technical issues when it comes to playing the movie such as problems with the sound or picture quality. In order to proof this fail point, the staff must be properly trained and machinery must be maintained and up to date, also have technicians on standby all the time. Fail points can happen during the billing process such as give the wrong change or no money change available, also if the computer can't print a hard copy receipt this can be a fail pint since some customers will require a bill to take home with them. Another fail point could be when the staff validate the ticket or during greeting customers and when it comes to buying snacks. All of these maybe avoided by training the staff properly and by having a manger to watch over them. Wait points: from the time the customer buy the ticket he will be first standing in line and the waiting point in queue can be very long if it not managed properly for example if the customers will overtake the line, therefore you need to have good trained staff who can manage the crowd...

...go to Lakewood pacific theaters on a Friday night. I want to find out how many people will choose to watch Insidious Chapter Two over The Family. To get a random sample I would ask the movie theater manager if I could see the record book of how many people went to see insidious and how many people went to see the family between six pm and eleven pm. I would use my calculator to generate three random numbers between six and eleven and compare the data. To get a systematic sample, I would stand outside the ticket booth and ask every fifth person who purchased a ticket what they chose to see. I would do this until I reached 100 people to use as my sample. To get a stratified sample, I would separate the population into teens and adults. I would interview every fifth teen and every fifth adult till I reached 100 for each sub group. To get a cluster sample, separate the population into teens and adults and interview every teen and adult that purchases a ticket. To get a convenience sample, I would go to watch one of the movies and interview a few people before I went in to watch the movie. I would choose the stratified sample to collect my data because I like the idea of dividing the population into different sections. The issue I encountered was that there were other movies playing so not every fifth person saw the movies I was centering my data...

...stands inside the theatre. Business research is an important tool used to provide essential information to a company to ensure their success. There are key steps in the research process such as research questions, hypotheses, variables, ethical considerations; as well as discussing the significance, scope, magnitude, and feasibility of finding a solution to the issue, opportunity, or problem. Research Questions 1. Is it ethical to sneak snacks into a movie theater? 2. What happens if a person gets caught sneaking snacks into a movie theater? 3. Why does the food at movie theaters cost so much? 4. How do movie theaters make their money? Going to the movies has become an extravagant commodity. The sale of a movie ticket have gone up and doubled in price. An individual looks for ways to downplay the expenses of a day at the movies. Sometimes a person just wants to sit back and enjoy a snack and a drink while watching a movie, but does not want to pay the high price for it. It seems as though some movie theaters concerns themselves more with the food at the concession stands than the movies it shows. So, people feel obligated, whether right or wrong, toward sneaking food into the movie theater. He or she runs the risk of getting caught by sneaking in his or her own food. If caught, he or she could become banned from watching future movies in the theater. A movie theater deluges lots of money into research to acquire the knowledge needed for competitiveness...

...not rigorously applied and are insufficient to control the flow of cash in the theater. Mr. Antonelli asked a local accounting instructor, Mr. Cockerill, to observe the theater and provide comments. Table 2 presents the internal controls in place and Mr. Cockerill’s findings. Question 2. What control improvements would you suggest for Leo’s Four-Plex? I suggest some definite and immediate changes be made to the internal control of cash at Leo’s Four-Plex Theaters. The most obvious deficiency is the focus on non-monetary controls. There are three internal controls devised to make sure that customers see the movie they paid for (color-coded tickets), that all of the tickets are accounted for (locked stub box), and that every customer has a ticket (turnstile). The only monetary-based internal controls are the serially-numbered tickets and the cash count conducted. My recommendations to improve or increase the controls are provided below. 1. Every cashier...
