Coalition and Spin-off for Frequent-flyer program

I intend to study the two trends in the industry of airlines: coalition and spin-off; I want to find out how the implementation of one affects the practice of the other as well as how they inform the airlines’ strategic decisions to maximize profit for the long term. To map out the relationship and interaction between the two trends, I plan to develop a conceptual model to simulate how the two trends can evolve for an indefinite period of time with the help of dynamic programming. After the development of the model, I would like to validate the model with the dataset that can be obtained from the labs at the Miami Business School. The trends of coalition and spin-off are expected to facilitate the realization of the operation goals of the airlines, depending on their internal resources and their interaction with the commercial partners.
