Genetically Engineered Foods: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing this topic from social, geographic and anthropological perspectives. Many are fearful of using genetically modified foods, but there is no real evidence assessing long term effects either good or bad. However, loss of the natural form is the functional equivalent of extinction, and we can never know when new insights or new technological advances will reveal benefits of natural life forms crucial to human survival. If the natural form disappears before those capabilities come to be, then we can miss out on benefits that can be integral to our ultimate survival. This is the point at which interdisciplinary considerations converge. Each has a different perspective, but each ultimately is concerned with loss of the natural form. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Global Distribution Systems
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The technological revolution has significantly impacted every aspect of commerce, inasmuch as business is routinely transacted upon the Internet. In order to accommodate the vast changes and difficulties associated with online commerce, certain issues have had to be addressed; resolving these issues has been instrumental in a smooth transition from brick-and-mortar operations to those who have taken up residence upon the World Wide Web. The travel industry is a prime example of how certain issues had to be addressed before the Internet was going to become a profitable venture. Enter the global distribution system (GDS), a method of operation that provides online distribution, marketing and sales tools to travel professionals throughout the world. One can readily surmise that without the implementation of global distribution systems, every factor of travel – hotels, car rentals, etc. – would not be nearly as accessible as they are today.

Globalization In The Airline Industry
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Inasmuch as the airline industry is "central to the globalization taking place in many other industries" (Alonzo et al, 2006) due to its role in bringing about such critical global elements as economic growth, trade and international investment, it stands to reason how its impact upon tourism is in direction relation to the ever-growing presence of globalization. The very essence of globalization is that of change, to relearn stable and familiar ways in order to make room for ever-growing progress. Because there are two sides to every issue, the dichotomy of air travel and tourism growth compared with environmental degradation has rendered globalization a much-contested concept.

The 21st century is hinting at being a time of great changes and occurrences. Times have changed drastically in only a few decades, and there is little doubt that changes and advancements have been occurring far faster this past century than perhaps, in any other century known to mankind. Technology, medicine, and international relations have always proven to be the most advancing, and the coming of the 21st century will prove this fact even further. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Greek Shipping
[ send me this paper ]
This 80 page paper examines the Greek shipping market and the need for change in order for Greek shipping companies to survive. The Greek shipping industry is very different to the shipping industry in other countries, which has led to many of the current competitive advantages. However the environment is changing, and this paper suggests that pooled management may be the most suitable strategy in this fragmented but competitive industry. The paper first looks at the shipping industry in general, and then as Greece. The paper then considers the pressures of change, such as international demand and standards and the impact of different strategies, such as pooled management, strategic alliances and joint ventures. These options are considered against the current positions before a conclusion is reached. Throughout the paper the theories and the application of theories to this topic are clearly explained.
