Social Media - A “Must-Know” for the airline industry

 

It is early days for social media as a B2C tool. The scale of activity at the non-commercial level is however such that businesses cannot help but seek to tap into what may prove to be a lucrative flow. It may or may not be an important tool of the future - but meanwhile it is too potentially valuable to ignore. Anything that might give you - or your competitors - a competitive edge is Must-Know at a critical time like this.

This report, carefully researched by Steven Frischling & Addison Schonland at the Innovation Analysis Group (IAG), is a fine guide to help you through the key issues and potential traps.
