In October 2015, WestJet, Canada’s second largest airline, needed to expand its social media presence. The vice-president of marketing and communications and the manager of social media were excited about the prospects of continuing to grow their customer base and reach even more guests through social media. WestJet had developed a highly successful approach to managing social media, and now the two executives were faced with two new possible social platforms: Snapchat and Pinterest. With an economy in decline and a flat marketing budget for 2016, they had a decision to make. Should the company pursue either of these platforms for the coming year, and if so, how? Which one would be best for the growth and evolution of WestJet’s social media presence?

Description for case is given below :
In early 2003, WestJet’s management was reviewing its plans for growth, specifically considering whether WestJet should move its eastern Canada base of operations from Hamilton’s Munro Airport to Toronto Pearson Airport. WestJet had grown rapidly since its launch in 1996 and was now the second largest airline in Canada. WestJet had originally focused on western Canada, but had entered eastern Canada in March 2000, with an eastern base of operations in Hamilton, a secondary airport in the greater Toronto area. Pearson was Canada’s largest domestic and international airport, the primary commercial airport for the greater Toronto area and a hub of WestJet’s largest competitor, Air Canada. Compared with Pearson, Hamilton was less congested and charged much lower fees. WestJet’s operations had been closely modeled on Southwest Airlines’. The use of a secondary airport such as Hamilton as a base of operations was consistent with Southwest’s low-cost, high-utilization features. With higher costs and longer turnaround times due to congestion, a base at Pearson was arguably not consistent with the Southwest business model; however, it was hard for WestJet to ignore the growth potential.

Description for case is given below :
Thirteen years after it began as an upstart airline with three airplanes, WestJet is the second largest airline in Canada. It has grown revenues at an annual rate of 37 per cent per year for the past 11 years, and is poised to become the country’s dominant airline in the future. As it has grown, WestJet seems to have made changes to its original strategy of low-cost, no-frills, point-to-point, single class service. The case examines WestJet’s strategy over the years and focuses on the company’s latest decision: considering the addition of smaller planes to its single model Boeing fleet. The objective of the case is to examine changes in a company’s strategy over time, and to review the potential impact of these changes on a company’s future performance.

Description for case is given below :
WestJet Airlines grew from a startup regional carrier in 1996 serving five Western Canadian cities to an international airline with more than 80 destinations and 9,000 employees by 2011. In a strategic move to implement code sharing and several other strategic IT applications to enhance WestJet’s competitiveness, the CEO and his executive team hired an experienced and highly successful CIO to bring WestJet up to par with other airlines. The new CIO was asked by WestJet to assess its IT competence as part of a corporate drive to gain competitive advantage by delivering innovative guest services. The executive saw IT as the key to WestJet achieving its ambitions and corporate growth so formulated an ambitious plan to restructure the IT organization. But certain senior IT staff members, some of whom had been with the company since the beginning and had played a major role in developing the existing systems, believed the plan was ill advised and unworkable. The executive had to convince both senior management and the IT group that implementing the new IT governance model was essential if WestJet hoped to achieve its strategic goals.
