...Tourism- A blessing In recent years tourism has seen a phenomenal growth, which can be attributed to the booming IT industry, business, event management industry, overall globalization in every industry. This is has brought about a huge increase in the tourism industry. The demand for tourism is expected to remain strong. Countries like India have new forms of tourism, new reasons why people come here. An example would be Medical Tourism. Medical Tourism in India has attained huge proportions with the development of health facilities. Since then the proportion of people visiting India for medical reasons has been on a rise. This is because the medical treatment here 25 percent less expensive than other countries. In India most of the people in the services sector speak English and the language barrier is another factor that allows foreigners to consider India as a Viable option for their medical treatment. The health and wellness tourism in India is also at a huge growth for the high quality services offered. The Indian tourism sector is a good example of the multiplier effect, which is when the success of one type of industry which in this case is tourism attracts other forms of economic development and creates more jobs, for example in shops, hotels, restaurants and bars, and also as guides and instructors. The GOI is allowing 100% investment into Hotels and Tourism. This means there will be a lot of overseas investment in airports, roads and hotels. This investment will...

...continued for so long. For example, immigration is known to reunite families by admitting immigrants with families that are currently in the United States. Further more, our country admits specific skilled workers for their own benefits and protects refugees that are already in danger in their own country. The most important reason why immigration is currently progressing in the U.S. is because the idea of diversity is important. Now, there are three different types of admissions, Permanent, Temporary, and Illegal Immigration. Permanent admissions contain lawful permanent residents along with aliens with green cards.

...Abstract Over the past few decades, the global scenario has changed considerably with increased interdependence amongst nations and economies. This intertwining amongst nations and sharing of ideas and technology has been termed as “Globalization”. Globalization has been a buzzword of late, with heated discussions about its pros and cons. Some consider it to be a blessing for mankind while others take it as a curse. For some it has brought about material prosperity while others have become unemployed due to it. This paper tries to analyse the effect of Increased International Trade and Globalisation on the US economy. The first section discusses the pros and cons of Globalization while the second section discusses how globalization has lead to increased foreign trade. Thereafter, it discusses the effect of globalisation and increased foreign trade on the American economy. Introduction Trade is believed to have taken place throughout much of recorded human history, whether as barter or in exchange of currency. Till the 1800’s, trade was limited due to difficulties in transportation, communication and restrictive trade policies. However, in the mid 19th century, with advent of free trade and nation advantage concepts, trade started to pick up (Daniels & Sullivan, International Business and Operation). Although international trade has been present throughout much of history, for example Silk Route, its economic, social, and political importance have increased in recent...

...Competitive Dynamics in Emirates Airlines Quest for Global Expansion Paul Mugendi MBA 604 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University May 2014 Executive Summary In an industry beset by unpredictable geo-political factors and cyclical crises, only one international carrier has consistently managed to increase revenue and report a profit for the last 25 years. This carrier is Emirates airline (Riva, 2013). Emirates has managed to achieve in less than three decades what giant and well established global carriers like British and Lufthansa managed in about five decades, and that is to serve all five continents without any alliances or partnerships. The objective of this term paper is to analyze some of the competitive dynamics that Emirates, legacy airlines and regional rivals have had to contend with and how Emirates has managed to come out on top especially in some business-hostile territories like North America and Europe. The history and origins of the Emirates airlines are highlighted as this paper outlines the business strategy that has propelled the carrier to international stardom. Also articulated from the research is the ambitious expansion that has European rivals worried and in some cases like Canada, the government stepping in to protect local carriers. The paper concludes by examining the viability of the carrier maintaining the growth and profitability curve and the expected rebound from regional carriers who seem to be currently languishing in losses as Emirates...

...will take place at a much faster rate. In future, the service sector would operate in a conducive environment offering great potential. If the opportunities are properly utilised by the service sector, it will lead to an all round development of the economy. The significance of the service economy may be discussed under the following headings: 1. Generation of employment opportunities 2. Optimum utilisation of resources 3. Capital formation 4. Increased standard of living 5. Use of environment-friendly technology. 1. Generation of employment Opportunities The components of the service sector are wide and varied. For example, the service sector includes personal care services, education services, medicare services, communication services, tourism services, hospitality services, banking services, insurance services, transportation services, consultancy services, etc The organised and systematic development of the service sector would create enormous employment opportunities. Application of marketing principles in the I service sector is instrumental to the development of the economy. However, it is appropriate to mention that India has not been successful in utilising the potential of the service sector. As seen in Table 1.1, in USA about 80 per cent of job opportunities are offered by the service sector compared to India's 60%. So, the significance of the service sector lies in its capacity to create job opportunities. If the service sector is properly developed, it will solve the...

...1. Introduction 1.1 Background Japan has the third largest economy in the world. As it is surrounded by sea, the country’s port plays an important role in maritime transportation for both exports and imports. In March 2011, the world was affected when Japan was struck with natural disasters (Earthquake and Tsunami). This sudden disaster sent everyone around the world into frenzy. It affected Japan’s ports, shipping and logistics. As a result of the natural disasters, ports in the northern area of Japan had to stop operations after the Tsunami washed away port facilities, leaving the area in tatters. Ports such as Hachinohe, Ishinomaki and Onahama were severely damaged and it would take months before operations can resume. It will take some time for Japan to rebuild itself as this is the worst disaster to hit the country since the Hiroshima/Nagasaki nuclear bombing during the World War 2. 1.2 Objectives of Project The team will be doing a research and critical analysis on how the crisis has affected Japan’s economy and how the revival of Japan will benefit the shipping economy. The areas of focus will be on the economic impacts of the various shipping markets and other factors contributing to the crisis and forecasting the future outcome in the shipping industry. We intend to go beyond the surface and dig deep into the crisis to fully understand how dealing with a crisis really works. This includes looking at past records as well as analyzing the situation in...

Cultural Analysis • II. Economic Analysis • III. Market Audit and Competitive Market Analysis • IV. Preliminary Marketing Plan I. Cultural Analysis writing guide Guideline I. Introduction writing guide A significant aspect of China is its long cultural and national history. The Chinese people have shared a common culture longer than any other group on Earth. The Chinese writing system, for example, dates back almost 4,000 years. The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC. Although specific dynasties were overturned, the dynastic system survived. China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed. It is as if the Roman Empire had lasted from the time of the Caesars to the 20th century, and during that time had evolved a cultural system and written language shared by all the peoples of Europe. The dynastic system was overturned in 1911, and a weak republican form of government existed until 1949. In that year, after a long civil war, the People's Republic of China, with a Communist government, was proclaimed...
