...Caribbean History and Culture March 17, 2013 Tourism: Impacts on the Economy and Eco-System How is Caribbean tourism negative for their economy? How does tourism negatively impact ecology? Those are the questions I ask myself, is tourism tearing apart the Caribbean? In some ways there are both positive and negative impacts of tourism on the economy and ecology of the Caribbean. The reason this topic is worth being thoroughly exploring is because of all the lives it impacts on an everyday basis from work to water supply. Through researching I have found that there are a few alliances that their only purpose is to benefit and help keep the eco-system the way it is supposed to be. Now not all resorts are watched under these alliances but I am going to take a closer look at these Alliances and see exactly what they stand for and how they could make positive changes when it comes to helping save the eco-system. In the end I’m going to find statistics on what good and bad is going on, what people are doing to try to improve any of the bad and see just how much tourism affects the lives of the people and lands of the Caribbean. My plan is to look inside of it all, shift out the myths and find the truth on both the Economy and Ecology issues. The purpose of my research project is to look into the different effects tourism has on both the economy and ecology. I’m going to be digging deep into what is really happening to the oceans (Hill, 2013) these beautiful oceans that...

...G. G Toys Case Analysis By Managerial Accounting June 16, 2013 Costing systems are components of a broader accounting system used by a given company or organization. Their main function is to keep a focused eye on expenditures made by the company in question. Synthesis of Existing Cost Models to Meet System of System Needs, p.86. G.G. Toy's production process for dolls started with the basic raw materials needed for the bodies of the dolls, wool and things for the hair and clothing and all of these things were consist in production initially. Then, in its modern Chicago manufacturing facility, the company machine-molded the vinyl and resin into doll bodies and even had varies different styles and designs for the clothing. While using the same equipment and labor, they had to schedule when each of these modern jobs could be completed. I believe that explains why there was less units produced. Today’s new manufacturing environment requires new cost-accounting systems as well as new technology. It’s simple, updating the present system can achieve greater benefits in terms of producing and providing information for decision making in the future. (Updating Standard Cost Systems, Cheatham, C, Quonum Books, 1993). Therefore, I believe that G.G. Toys should change its existing cost accounting system from traditional costing to activity-based costing in the Chicago plant. Activity-based costing also known as ABC is a costing methodology that identifies activities...

...environmental concerns that the world is facing and expect the organization that they are associated with to adopt such operational and service management scenarios which are environment friendly.It is not easy to present an argument against healthier work space and environment. This essay will analyze different aspects of adopting ‘green activities’ by the hospitality organizations and will discuss if it is possible for them to maintain healthy revenues while adopting green activities. The word green generally refers towards the activities which are considered to be environmentally responsible by the consumers and stake holders, adopted by the organization in question. Such activities are meant to reduce the environmental foot print of the organization by reducing their use of natural resources and a balanced contribution towards the eco systems (Graci & Dodds, 2009).There are variety of ways to choose from when a company decides to ‘go green’ starting from minor activities to bigger more significant steps. It can be started from controlling use of paper, sorting out the office wastages in recyclable and non-recyclable groups to bigger steps such as using or building environmentally friendly buildings, raw materials etc. for their organizations (Lynn, 2009). It is, of-course, rather convenient to go green on a smaller scale e.g. a single household can manage to adopt environmental...

...GRE-EN-ERGY The Journey to Sustainability. [pic] By Vijeta Kavethkar Green energy is the need of the hour to sustain our energy requirements. Green energy includes natural energetic processes that can be harnessed with little pollution. Anaerobic digestion, geothermal power, wind power, small-scale hydropower, solar energy, biomass power, tidal power, wave power, and some forms of nuclear power (ones which are able to "burn" nuclear waste through a process known as nuclear transmutation, such as an Integral Fast Reactor, and therefore belong in the "Green Energy" category). Some definitions may also include power derived from the incineration of waste. In this report we have discussed on various dimension of non renewable energy resources and its impact on our environment. It is aptly said that “The Earth has enough to satisfy the Need but not the Greed of the Humans” We have gone beyond boundaries, now if we look back the results of our greed is appalling for us.

Out of which considerable amount, approx. 69.12% (172.986 GW), is generated from non-renewable energy source.

...Entry barriers on business. Barriers to market entry include a number of different factors that restrict the ability of new competitors to enter and begin operating in a given industry. For example, an industry may require new entrants to make large investments in capital equipment, or existing firms may have earned strong customer loyalties that may be difficult for new entrants to overcome. The ease of entry into an industry in just one aspect of an industry analysis; the others include the power held by suppliers and buyers, the existing competitors and the nature of competition, and the degree to which similar products or services can act as substitutes for those provided by the industry. It is important for small business owners to understand all of these critical industry factors in order to compete effectively and make good strategic decisions.

Cook explained in his book The AMA Complete Guide to Strategic Planning for Small Business. "Since both you and your competitors are in the same industry, the key is in finding the differing abilities between you and the competition in dealing with the industry forces that impact you. If you can identify abilities you have that are superior to competitors, you can use that ability to establish a competitive advantage." The ease of entry into an industry...
