We used these same rocks and stones to...

The Evolution of the Us Airline Industry: Theory, Strategy and Policy
ISBN: 9781441937018 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For over three decades the airline industry has continued to maintain a high profile in the public mind and in public policy interest. This high profile is probably not surprising. There does seem to be something inherently newsworthy about airplanes and the people and companies that fly them. The industry was one of the first major industries in the United States to undergo deregulation, in 1978. It thereby transitioned from a closely regulated sector (the former Civil Aeronautics Board tightly controlled everyt thing from prices to routes to entry) to one that is largely market oriented....
