Disrupção - Round 2

Ao ler este texto "Low-cost airlines: They changed the world -- but what next?" não pude deixar de reconhecer o padrão de disrupção que Clayton Christensen descreveu sobre como as mini-mills tomaram conta da siderurgia americana.
.
Começaram pela base do mercado:
"For a while after budget airlines emerged it was easy to draw a line between low-cost and full-service network airlines, since each offered a distinctive value proposition.
.
Low-cost carriers stripped their product to the bare minimum: a single cabin where all seats were the same, no free food, no free baggage allowance, no flight connections.
...
Meanwhile, legacy carriers found it increasingly difficult to change their cost and operational structures fast enough to face such formidable cost-killers.
.
Instead, they retrenched to areas of business that were safer from low-cost competition: the corporate market and long haul.[Moi ici: Fim do Round 1]
...
Low-cost airlines have tweaked some elements of their business model in order to encroach on markets that've so far been the preserve of legacy carriers.
.
"We have seen how in Europe low-cost airlines such as Ryanair have dropped routes to low-margin secondary cities and started to fly to major airports in an attempt to move upmarket," Suau-Sanchez says.
.
"At the same time, cost-cutting businesses, particularly small and medium sized firms, have eagerly embraced low-cost air travel."
.
One by one, many of the dogmas of the low-cost airline industry have been cast aside.
.
What the industry is witnessing is a significant shift in the business model of some low-cost airliners, to the point that many in the industry talk already of a new type of airline.
.
Enter the "hybrid" carrier: halfway between the pure no-frills low-cost carrier and the traditional full service airline."
