    Revenue Management from an eCommerce Point-of-View

  • The Internet is not lazyAirlines used to benefit from manual search habitsItineraries typically chosen from the top two lines on the availability screenRelative difficulty arraying schedule options by priceOdd end-to-end itineraries required manual searchThe Inefficiency Surplus was substantial

  • Think About the ComparisonGRAPHIC: Green screen availability display vs. Internet sort

  • Robotic Programs Further Improve the EfficiencySecondary search algorithms further exaggerate the issue Increased availability requests

  • The Internet Finds Unintended ItinerariesGRAPHIC: Orbitz screen with end-to-end connecting itinerary

  • The Inefficiency Surplus was Substantial We did a small, statistically insignificant study which gave an optimal answerAcross 50 varied itineraries, the Online Travel Agencies returned a fare on average 21% below that from the top 2 lines of GDSWe estimate that 17+ points were from enhanced search capabilities Extreme case, but directionally valid

  • Internet Sites Exaggerate Anomalies and ConfusionsComprehensive searchesTips to find alternativesEditing-by-omission cant happenBut whatever editing is done is more transparentCustomers keep checking until departure

  • AND the Internet Can Be Taught Bad Tricks Internet engines can (and sometimes do) string together local availability when O&D seats are unavailableOne impetus is search efficiency: It is easier to do a comprehensive search based on local (I.e. AVS) availability and make a guess about O&D availability

  • Peter B.: Bad Tricks Are Costly Most US cxs will pass 25% penetration soon50% reduction in O&D control efficiencyInternet sites (incl. the carriers) that dont cheat will be uncompetitive

  • We Must Learn to Manage For Revenue-Less-Distribution-CostA higher fare through a more expensive channel may result in less net revenue than a lower one through the InternetBut, then again, it may notThe mechanisms are uncertain ..

  • The Internet Helps Control Dilution, But How Much?Displacement: Making sure that a seat is not sold to a customer now, if a customer who will be willing to pay more is likely to come along laterRM is GOOD at controlling Displacement Dilution: Making sure that a seat is not sold now to a customer who would be willing to pay moreRM is no GOOD at controlling Dilution, but the Internet can help by SEGMENTATION

  • The Internet Can Only Help If It Aids Segmentation Effectively Internet users are not demographically unique, but different sites can appeal to segments Site TypeCustomer SegmentOpaque SitesPrice-only On Line Trvl AgentsShoppersSpecialty packagersDreamersWholesalersPackaged VacationersAirline SitesLoyalists..

  • Example: Price-Only Market the Basic Websites Segment Well

  • Integrated Displays May Blur Segmentation And They Create A Reference Price trap
