Blue Ocean Strategy is a book authored by Renee Mauborgne and W. Chan Kim that dwells on strategic business moves companies can make to tap into uncontested markets. The book, published in 2005, embodies the emergence of rapid change and innovation in recent years while at the same time injecting dynamism in business strategy. The book classifies businesses into two groups; Red Oceans and Blue Oceans. The former group, Kim and Mauborgne note comprises of static businesses that dwell on battling competitors. A strategy that is highly unlikely to bring forth a prospect of profit growth to companies that practice it. ...

The strategy explains the idea of how businesses successfully create competitive advantages in the market place. It reflects that battling with the competitors is not a successful tactic to succeed from competitor. Rather a company can succeed in competition by creating a “blue ocean” in the market place that is still uncontested. According to the Mauborgne and Kim, this strategic policy enhanced the value of a business by increasing the values foe employees and customers. They further explain that the strategy helps in exploring the new potential markets. In this way, a business enjoys a monopoly in the newly discovered market, as there are no ...

The theory of plate tectonics describes the wide­scale movements of the lithosphere of

the earth. The model is based on the ideas of continental drift, which first gained acceptance in
the early 1900s. The geoscientific community granted the theory even more validity after the
notion of seafloor spreading appeared in the late 1950s. Basically, the lithosphere is not whole
but instead is separated into either seven or eight major plates, depending on the definition that
you use. Every meeting point between plates has its own relative movement, either transform,
convergent or divergent. Volcanic activity, mountain creation and earthquakes all occur along
these edges, and the plates ...

Executive Summary

As an environmental community group based in Melbourne, Australia, we firmly oppose the construction as well as the maintenance of operations in one of the major coastlines of Australia. We are an environmental community group that is not driven by self-interests despite knowing how having the Wonthaggi Desalination plant unbreakably established in the marine flora and fauna rich shorelines of Australia could help reduce the federation’s residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors’ apprehension to expand. Egoism played a big role in the federal and state governments’ decision to support the project despite knowing the different moral, ethical, and even ...

The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI)

Ausloos and Ivanova (2001, p. 1) succinctly define the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) as a core component or characteristic of the El Nino phenomenon. The SOI data have been collected and analyzed since the year 1866 so as to effectively study and explain the occurrence of extreme climactic events. This makes it possible for meteorologists to understand the outstanding factors of the sometimes catastrophic phenomenon of El Nino and therefore be able to estimate and accurately predict future trends.

In essence, the core aspects of the SOI are derived from studying the cyclical warming and cooling of localized regions within ...

There have been climatic changes over the years that have led to the development of research in the meteorological department. Certain climatic changes have led to the occurrence of one event or the other. All the parts of the world face climatic changes in one way or the other. However, some parts of the world become more affected than others due to differences in landscape and the overall environment (Miller 2007). In Australia, one of the reasons why there have been variations in climate is due to the existence of the Southern Oscillation. In some instances, the southern oscillation ...

Final Exam Geology

Patterns of Surface Ocean Currents

Surface currents are found in the upper four hundred meters of an ocean body and they form major patterns such as eddies, upwelling, and gyres (Garrishon, 2007). Surface currents result from wind energy that is concentrated in both north and south hemispheres forming trade winds which are easterlies and westerlies (Garrishon, 2007). Waves on the sea surface transfer some of the energy from the moving air to the water by friction. Pulling of wind on the surface of ocean causes an accumulation of water with the water displaced underneath the wind forming the movement.

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics
Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion
Energy Source
The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Salmon Fish

The Atlantic salmon fishes are known for their strong, streamlined bodies and their ability to move through steep rivers in fresh and salt waters as their habitat (Jonsson and Jonsson 2). The term “Salmo” is a Latin term which means salmon that originated from the word “salar” which means to leap. The Atlantic salmon are anadromous which means that they spawn in freshwater and acquire most of their food while they explore the marine habitats (Jonsson and Jonsson 2).
The management systems used for production of transgenic Atlantic salmon is similar as those that are being presently used for non-transgenic ...
