Sigma Airway: In 2021, Sigma Airway was considering the possibility of adding a new economy class to the two existing classes - first class and tourist -in the hope that the total contribution to its profit from fares might be increased. Ms. Somsri, the marketing manager for Sigma had to decide within the next week whether or not to introduce such as a change. If introduced, the new class would have to be retained for at least 100 days.

For the past several years, Kent Corporation had achieved remarkable success in winning R&D contracts. The customers were pleased with the analytical capabilities of the R&D staff at Kent Corporation. Theoretical and experimental results were usually within 95 percent agreement. But many customers still felt that 95 percent was too low. They wanted 98–99 percent. In 1989, Kent updated their computer facility by purchasing a large computer. The increased performance with the new computer encouraged the R&D group to attempt to convert from two-dimensional to three dimensional solutions to their theoretical problems. Almost everyone except the director of R&D thought that this would give better comparison between experimental and theoretical data. Kent Corporation had tried to develop the computer program for three dimensional solutions with their own internal R&D programs, but the cost was too great. Finally, after a year of writing proposals, Kent Corporation…
