The airline industry is one that has rapidly evolved both with regards to technology and product offerings. This paper argues that technological advancements, deregulation and competitive pricing and marketing strategies are what have driven change in regards to JetBlue. The paper goes on to explain how each of these factors affects and drives change in the other three. Deregulation occurred to increase competition; competition in turn affects innovation in marketing and pricing as well as technology, yet this process has no specific order with regards to where the change starts as innovation and competition, can then affect the way the market is regulated. The paper begins by giving a history of pricing strategies and how the deregulation that occurred in 1978 revolutionized the business and it's pricing. It then goes on to the industry analysis which discusses how travel agencies affected pricing due to the percentage that they took from sales.

The capacity of a media artifact to truly transform American culture is far less likely than the capacity for that artifact to become a blip on the radar screen. However, there are a select few instances of media artifacts extending far beyond the generally-allotted fifteen minutes of fame and moving into the realm of game-changing cultural phenomena. Such an instance can be seen in the creation of the social networking site, Twitter, which has quickly become a staple in American society. From politicians to comedians, clergymen to school-teachers, this media application has been significantly embraced and has taken the world – and particularly the American population – by storm. Its rooting in the field of communication allows observers to understand the depth of which Twitter has changed American society and culture, and can be understood further in the the field of communication through many different theories, including that of symbolic convergence.

Of the many types of forecasts that would need to be created to deliver accurate location analysis and expansion plans, the most critical of all are geo-economic analysis of potentially high growth areas that would not cannibalize the sales of existing Burger Queen restaurants. Location-based and impact assessment programs would need to be created for each of the specific locations being considered to ensure other restaurants' sales and the potential business of other franchisees is not negatively impacted by the decision to expand (Leung, 2003). Location and impact assessments would need to take into account the composition of the target market in the immediate radius of the potential sites by socio-economic, demographic, psychographic and existing brand loyalties as well. All of these analyses could be completed using data dining and advanced analytics processes and procedures to ensure orthogonality of each location relative to another and consistency of selection criteria being used (Prewitt, 2007). With econometric and customer segmentation data, both simple and gravitational methods for trade area analysis next need to be completed. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate together data sets of population size, demographic composition, per capita incomes, discretionary income and an assessment of local competition . the manager for Burger Queen could have an excellent idea of where each store location needs to be based. Using GIS data to further differentiate by open retail locations could also give the manager greater insight into how best to geographically position the potential Burger Queen locations for greatest competitive advantage against the competition as well (Prewitt, 2007). In addition to accomplishing these tasks from an analytics standpoint, the GIS system could also tell the manager were competitors are the strongest, meaning they are areas that are unassailable in terms of market development (Leung, 2003). For example of there is a specific area of the city or region that is highly loyal to Subway or McDonald's, the GIS systems could quickly show that data, indicating high concentrations of very brand-loyal customers. This would make launching a store in any of these locations extremely difficult.
