Owning to similar business nature, it should be possible to directly migrate successful airline revenue management techniques to the hotel domain. However, one of the salient di0erences between airlines and hotels is rarely highlighted—the network structure of length of stay or the displacement e0ect. The hotel patrons go from a 4rst stay-over night to a last stay-over night in consecutive nigh...

The ever-evolving nature of telecommunication networks has put enormous pressure on contemporary Network Management Systems (NMSs) to come up with improved functionalities for efficient monitoring, control and management. In such a context, the rapid deployments of Next Generation Networks (NGN) and their management requires intelligent, autonomic and resilient mechanisms to guarantee Quality o...

Recent advancements of IP networks pave the way for Over-the-Top (OTT) applications. Evolved telecom platforms provide revenue potentials via Service Gateways (APIs) on top of VoIP/RCS (IMS), Machine Type Communication (MTC) and Smart Bit pipe approaches. QoS is achieved through over-provisioning in today’s access and core networks since there are no flexible mechanisms that are available for e...

The concepts of customer relationship management (CRM) and revenue management (RevM) have been embraced by managers in the hospitality industry although, in practice, companies may find it difficult to accommodate both fully. This paper examines the compatibility between the two practices and discusses the possible management conflicts that occur from both account managers’ and revenue managers...

The revenue maximization problem of service provider is considered and different pricing schemes to solve the above problem are implemented. The service provider can choose an apt pricing scheme subjected to limited resources, if he knows the utility function and identity of the user. The complete price differentiation can achieve a large revenue gain but has high implementation complexity. The...

The field of revenue management originated within the operations research community and is concerned with demand management and related pricing decisions. Pricing has not traditionally been one of the mainstream operations management (OM) concerns, but revenue management is attracting a substantial amount of OM research. While revenue management has had significant impact on the management of d...

In the today’s world wherein every routine is based on economic factors, there is no doubt that theoretical sciences are driven by their capabilities and affordances in terms of economy. As a mathematical tool, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is provided to economics, so that one can investigate associated costs, prices and revenues of economic units. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a linear...

This study examines revenue management in terms of a framework adapted from Maguire and Rouse (2004). This framework is used to analyse the way revenue management is organised at a large broadcasting organisation. The aim of this analysis is to investigate the structuring of the revenue and cost management efforts. When selling a product or service revenue and cost are usually known and hence t...

This study presents the design of the hybrid wireless virtualization (HWV) controller based network architecture. Using a HWV controller, an unified approach can be taken for provisioning and management of virtualized heterogeneous radios, irrespective of their MAC and PHY layer mechanisms. It is shown that the airtime occupancy by transmissions from different slices or groups can be used as a ...

In Australia, as electricity prices have increased, driven mainly by increases in peak demand, electricity use has decreased every year since 2008/09. The factors most responsible for these decreases include increased electricity costs, energy efficiency, solar water heaters and photovoltaics. Further increases in electricity prices and uptake of these technologies could result in further reduc...
