...numerous situations are evaluated to ensure this decision-making will be best not only for the hotel but also that it will benefit the local islanders and the people who visit Kava temporarily. The Marriott Kava hotel is projected to be a medium size facility. The accommodations will ensure local islanders, patients receiving extended health care at the local cancer center, families, couples, and even business travelers will have a place to stay during their visit. The decision is if it will be more beneficial to build a standalone hotel in the middle of the island, merge the business with the local cancer center, or build the hotel near the airport ensuring it is near the new transit shuttle bus company. Building a standalone hotel ensures that if the tourism and visitor rate to the island increases the hotel will have no obligations and commitments to another company and able to focus on just providing space for guest of the hotel. The downside of this is that the business owner limits herself to other business opportunities if the standalone method is sought after. Business is based on the needs of living areas on a temporary basis. The developer that has come to the island to build housing projects for the locals will inadvertently be competition as more people may have the ability to afford long term housing solutions. During the completion of research it was noted that because of the numerous issues the island faces the amount of expected tourism to the island...

But suddenly political climate in Rio Grande do Sul changed all together. Olivio Dutra of the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT, or Workers’ Party) was appointed as new governor of Rio Grande do Sul and he appeared likely to rescind all the agreements made by the previous government with Dell. He considered all the agreements to be overly generous incentives offered to transnational corporations by the previous government. This was a setback for Dell Computer Corporation and Keith Maxwell had to decide amongst the three options. The second option available to Dell Computer Corporation is to move its plant to another state in Brazil. After numerous discussions on site selection Rio Grande do Sul, had been selected as site for plant location. Determined to win high technology investment in the state Antonio Britto of Partido do Movimento Democratico Brasileiro offered best investment alternatives to Dell. But appointment of Olivio Dutra as new governor of Rio Grande do Sul foiled all the plans.Olivio Dutra was against governments granting of incentives to foreign transnational corporations. This is one of his objections against Antonio Britto’s government in his campaign for the post of governor. So the first thing he was supposed to do when he became the governor of Rio Grande do Sul was to rescind all benefits given to transnational...

Brazil is one of these surfers since the early 90s. Expected to become a major world power, the country has moreover the opportunity to shine in front of the world by organizing successively world wild events in less than five years. It had never been given to a country the opportunity to receive such big events, especially in such a short period: the World Youth Day (WYD), the Confederations Cup, the Football World Cup in 2014 and finally the Olympic Games in 2016. After China, who organizes Beijing Olympics games in 2008, Brazil is now pursuing his prodigious road on the top of the wave. The organisation of these worldwide events is a great opportunity to consolidate its influence in the world but also the risk of eventually falling off from his surfing-board, into the water.
