This PPT slide, part of the 43-slide Common Consulting Frameworks (How and When to Use) PowerPoint presentation, presents an analysis of the U.S. airline industry through the lens of the SCP (Structure-Conduct-Performance) framework, detailing the evolution of the industry across different periods. It is structured into 4 main eras: the Regulated Period, Deregulation, Market Expansion, Price War, and Consolidation. Each era highlights the strategic paradigms, key events, key players, and other relevant factors that shaped the industry.
During the Regulated Period, the focus was on service and passing costs to customers, with significant players including the government and major airlines. Key events like the introduction of the propeller to jet technology and oil shocks were pivotal. As the industry transitioned to Deregulation, the paradigm shifted to route acquisition and price competition, leading to an influx of new entrants and a focus on marketing strategies.
The Market Expansion phase saw an increase in travel, while the Price War emphasized competitive pricing among airlines, including the rise of discount airlines. The slide notes that major airlines had to adapt to these changes, often leading to bankruptcies and alliances during the Consolidation phase. This final phase reflects a trend towards larger entities concentrating on core business operations.
The slide effectively encapsulates the dynamic nature of the airline industry, illustrating how external events and strategic decisions influence market behavior. For potential customers, this analysis serves as a comprehensive overview of the industry's historical context and competitive dynamics, providing valuable insights for strategic decision-making. Understanding these shifts can guide future investments and operational strategies in the airline sector.
