Howard’s text has significantly explored the definition and depiction of cyber-crime. It has swiftly combined theoretical work, substantial research, and first-hand experience in driving the point home. The analysis wades through the growth and development of organized crime using objective mechanisms. The text is reader-friendly and successfully guides students in grasping the various dimensions of organized crime. However, with the advent of technology leading to the growth of organized cyber-criminal groups, there is room for refining the description provided by this enumerative text (Abadinsky, 2012). After a critical evaluation of the text’s definition, this paper discusses the ...

This role requires the citizen to work together with palm oil producers to ensure that the population is educated about the best ways to protect the environment while producing palm. The community citizen is also tasked with working with government to ensure ...

Introduction

Environmental concerns have created significant interests from various stakeholders with criminologists playing a critical role in responding to environmental harms. Environmental criminology applies to wide range of environments comprising of air, water, and land, and major issues such as overexploitation of natural resources and the emission of high volumes of toxic wastes in air, water, and soil. Multidisciplinary approaches have been adopted to help in curbing such environmental crimes whereby ecological, legal, economic, and social implications of the crimes have been analyzed by various stakeholders. Interventions have also led to extensive methods including monitoring, assessing the damage, enforcing legal ...

Many scientists argue about the meaning and the essential role of the leadership. Some of them suggest that leadership is only about being able to make people follow you and do what you want them to do. But the truth is, a true leader is a person who knows how to implement changes and is not afraid of them. This means that leadership is a phenomenon that allows people to modify and handle the behaviour of other people in order to improve the certain process or work by causing changes. That is why the real success of a leadership ...

Executive Summary

Fossil fuels are the predominant source of energy for industrial and transportation consumption. It is however expected that in a few more decades, fossil fuels will have lesser role to play than non-conventional oil and gas sources and renewable energy sources. This paper presents an overview of some of the socioeconomic factors that are driving the global oil industry and their implications for the UK industry. Four key influences are studied to understand the implications for the industry in terms of economic and environmental factors. The steady influence of OPEC is a significant factor in the pricing of crude ...

Introduction

Contemporary business, political and social environments have changed under the influence of globalization, consequent internationalization of business portfolios, size and scale of the activities and even the tremendously increased international mobility of individuals. It is difficult to argue that the future of the Oil and Gas industry have changed with the growing influence of OPEC, economic growth, observed in non-OECD countries and climate change policies and legislation around the globe (Martin, 1995). The access to the new fossil reserves and the changes in the distribution of these resources also have had a significant impact on the ways the future ...

Question 1: What drives the basic economies of the airline industry? The refining industry?

The revenue side of the airline industry is driven by the amount of passengers an airline can carry per flight. A common index is the percentage of filled seats: if it is low on a flight, that flight may be unprofitable. Fuel costs may represent 30 to 50% of total operating costs in the airline industry (Grassbaugh, 2013). For the refining industry, the cost of crude oil is the major driver (Grassbaugh, 2013). Hence, when the price of crude falls, refining margins tend to rise.

Question 2: How is Delta different from other airlines?

Mallikarjun (2015) posits there are so many competitors in the American airline industry, that ...

Zipcar is one of the most revolutionary business ideas that has come along in a long time. Zipcar, along with Uber, have been instrumental in leading the consumer’s choice to not pay for expensive parking and car transportation options in big cities, (Zipcar Case Study: An Overview, 2016). Zipcar’s target is the consumer who perhaps is not a long term resident in the city they are residing that does not want to invest in the responsibility of owning a car and all of the expenses that come with owning a car, (Zipcar Case Study: An Overview, 2016). ...

Introduction

Every product has a lifecycle that defines the impact it creates to the environment from the time of production, usage, and disposal. Life cycle assessment process assists in compiling and examining inputs and outputs of a product regarding materials and energy associated with its functioning throughout the life cycle. Life cycle assessment acts as an essential tool for decision support that helps policy makers and industries assess the cradle-to-grave of a product. The assessment analysis chemical production, material selection, design for environment and environmental impact, industrial ecology, and product lifecycle management (Yorzyk and Radzinski 1). The following paper assesses ...

Introduction

Natural resources for decades have always provided many nations with the affluent source of wealth that helps in building their economy. As such, many of the countries that majorly depend on the natural resources such as copper, oil, gold and uranium often embark on intensive mining practices to ensure their natural reserves are productive and can offer sustainability to their economies. Due to their dependency on these resources, the countries often have structures and laws that govern how they handle the resources in every stage to ensure maximization. It is important to highlight that the resources are most often ...

Research Rationale

Although the recovery of energy from wastes is not a new idea, its implementation continues to be challenging in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Also, as a result of economic development, increasing population, and industrialization, the problems arising from expanded consumption and reduced resources have become more serious than ever (Tõnissoo, 2012). This paper provides a proposal for using recyclable waste as a transport fuel in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The rationale for this proposal is that if wastes are used to generate fuel for transport, there will be many advantages accrued from such a venture. ...

Introduction

Today the world is grappling with several ecological crisis; the effects of Global warming, the degradation of the Tropical Rainforests in South America, the environmental pollution of Oil Sands development in the Canadian Boreal, and the ecological threats from Nuclear accidents exemplified by the recent Fukushima incident. However, the least talked about is Waste management, particularly the problems of Electronic waste, often referred to as e-waste. Not only is the e-waste crisis a massive problem in most developed economies, but it is also quickly becoming a global crisis affecting even to a greater extent the least technologically advanced nations. ...

History of the UK Oil & Gas Industry

It was in the year 1975 that Hamilton Brothers, a small entrepreneurial entity of the United States, which was working in the Argyle field, succeeded in bringing British oil ashore for the first time, and this was almost immediately followed by the BP excavation that resulted in huge quantities of oil being discovered in the Forties field.

Progress made by the industry since the 1970s

Oil discovery in the North, grew leaps and bounds as several other companies from other nations like the EU, United States and many other domestic UK firms leased out many sectors of the North Sea for excavating oil. Slightly around the late ...
