Kupas Tuntas Low Cost Carrier (LCC): Strategi Bisnis

Saya adalah pelanggan AirAsia yang menggunakan jasa penerbangan itu dengan tujuan Jakarta-Surabaya dan sebaliknya sejak 2010 silam. Jujur saja saya sangat prihatin dengan kenaikan harga tiket untuk semua maskapai dengan awal kambing hitam peristiwa kecelakaan Air Asia QZ8501 (28/12/2014) yang berujung pada LCC (Low Cost Carrier) . Kebijakan Menteri Jonan tentang pembatasan tarif bawah maskapai penerbangan seakan-akan mengatakan bahwa kecelakaan yang menimpa Air Asia disebabkan karena harga tiket yang murah. Jika anda tidak bisa memahami suatu hal, bukan berarti hal tersebut tidak masuk akal. Sekarang coba simak penjelasan mengenai hal ini. Apa Itu LCC (Low Cost Carrier )? LCC adalah redifinisi bisnis penerbangan dengan prinsip low cost untuk menekan operational cost sehingga bisa menjaring semua segmen pasar dengan layanan minimalis. Namun tidak membuat airlines yang menerapkan LCC menjadi murahan dan lemah pada segi keselamatan (safety) . LCC sering juga disebut sebagai Budge

To live in a steading somewhere, equipped with a reliable well, vegetable patch, fireplace, maybe a wood-fired Aga. Taking away electricity means rethinking your entire day and planning how you can function without the means of simply plugging something in. No electricity results in a complete loss of normality. We are exploring alternative energy sources, living off the grid and how life with no electricity impacts us, to make you think, could you live without electricity? Electricity: How Long Could We Survive Without It? Electricity and digitalization are changing the way we live. There are lots of things that society could get along without. More automated than ever before with internet-instant communication, devices, robotics making the effects of power failure far greater and may even have artificial intelligence to support functionality. What would life be like without

Do We Need to Regulate 'The Freedom'?

Image

The spread of misinformation and irresponsible content on social media platforms has led many to believe that these platforms need to be more tightly regulated. Negativity is a goal for social network firms since it is suitable for income flow. Negativity sells on social media because it draws users' attention more than positive content and keeps them scrolling on their devices. The algorithms boost negative content while stifling positive content. That means users are not satisfied with how big businesses are handling the risks of misinformation and censorship, privacy, political neutrality, user control, and malicious activity on social networks. The purpose of this business strategy is to dissuade people from posting harmful information on social media networks. These concerns have led to the consolidation of social networks. Deleting objectionable user-generated content is usu

The Rise of Decentralized Social Networks

Image: Feepik_by rawpixel_Global-Connections Decentralized social networks are gaining popularity with the rise of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. They are not new; they are just unpopular. Some of them have been around for more than a decade, such as the Diaspora, which began in 2010. In comparison, Facebook debuted in 2006, just four years before Diaspora. The idea is to go back to the good old days of the Internet in the early 90's, commonly known as Web 1.0 (as you know, we are living in Web 2.0 at this time). Users can publish content directly to user-friendly decentralized sites, bypassing corporate intermediaries and intended approaches. Anyone can create and run their own version of the ideal on one platform. This is what decentralized social networks do with the concept of "free will." There is no central authority (person, server, or company) that dictates the rules. The best thing is that they give creators the opportunity to monetize their work and earn tokens tha

What is a Decentralized Social Network and How Valuable is it?

Similar to cryptocurrencies, social networks that are based on blockchain technology and run-on independent servers rather than central servers owned and operated by businesses or organizations can be described as decentralized. No phone number or email address is required to use the blockchain. Their technology enables peer-to-peer interactions instead of mediated private platforms. Users can meet, flirt, chat and share in their community forums. This structure enables democratic processes between users or communities and is managed independently of intermediaries. They are powered by distributed ledger technologies, where activities on the platform are recorded on the decentralized protocol and user data is stored on a blockchain and cannot be removed by any central authority like in the case of Facebook. Decentralized platforms use technology that eliminates unnecessary points in the platform's technical infrastructure. Exchanges and other resources on various networks (module
