    1. Represents the organization best long termopportunities for growth and profitability.

    2. Horizontal integration, market penetration, marketdevelopment, product development, and joint

    ventures are appropriate for south west airlines.3. Joint ventures is the best possible strategy for

    southwest airlines with emirates, British airways, orUS air ways.

    4. Horizontal Integration is also an alternative butdespite of SOUTHWEST air lines current financialposition it is not at all recommended by our group.

    a list of potential customers, that can benefit sales. A marketing

    department in an organization has the goal increasing the

    number of interactions between potential customers and the
