Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 7.0, London School of Marketing, course: Strategic Business Management and Planning, language: English, abstract: According to Cummings (2003), the word strategy comes from the Greek language and is a combination of the words army and to lead. Carter et al (2008) argues that the word strategy is linked both to the military and business fields and has been used in the second approach since the end of the Second World War when some entrepreneurs started to implement strategic planning in their business Big projects and most of the businesses require a plan where the expected and not so expected opportunities and obstacles are forecasted, aiming to survive successfully when facing competition. According to Chandler (1962), when environment changes take place, the urge for new strategies emerges and the company is therefore driven by its new structure. It is known that Carnival Corporation started as a small business, and driven by its founder through his enthusiasm, goals and plans it became an industrial leader. He proved his ambitious when buying the distressed company just after two years of operation. Aiming to be different from the other cruise ships from that time, Carnival gave special attention to the passengers’ needs and was the first cruise line company to provide a more entertaining atmosphere onboard. In order to have a precise business plan and know where it will be in the future, every company needs a focused concept of the current environment where it operates. Who are the people involved, what is the business concept, what are the opportunities, who are the competitors, what are the keys to success? Once all these questions would probably lead to more questions, a research process should then be started to obtain the answers, according to Cyr (2007).

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, London Business School (London Business School / INSEAD), language: English, abstract: This report examines the subject of profitable growth in the modern cruise industry by comparing the financial and operating performance and the management practices of the two leading cruise operators, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, over the twelve-year period from 1996 to 2007. During the past 40 years the cruise industry has evolved from a form of mere transoceanic transportation to an alternative vacation at sea. Despite growing at a CAGR of 7.7% since 1980, the penetration rate for the cruise industry is only 17%. In North America alone the cruise industry generated $20.6 billion in 2006. By comparison, the lodging industry in North America generated revenues of $133.4 billion during the same year. The cruise industry remains a relatively young industry. This is proven by the fact that, of the 168 million passengers that have cruised globally since 1990, 72% cruised in the past ten years and 43% in the past five years alone. The cruise industry has continually expanded to meet or boost demand: 40 new ships were built in the 1980s, 80 new ships were built in the 1990s, and 46 new ships are scheduled to enter the global market within the next four years. Even though there are more than 30 brands of cruise lines, only two companies dominate this industry: Carnival Corp & Plc (CCL) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCL). The cruise industry remains highly segmented by product-with a variety of brands targeting a wide array of price points, consumer needs, and itineraries-but by the end of 2007 Carnival and Royal Caribbean alone controlled about two-thirds of the global capacity, with shares of 45% and 21% respectively. Back in 1987, their estimated combined share of global capacity was only 11%. Up until 2000, Carnival and Royal Caribbean followed a

This is the leading text on shipbuilding and marine construction, already widely used on a global basis by shipowners, shipbuilders and their commercial and legal advisers. It is now ten years since the last edition and much has changed in the world of shipbuilding since then, particularly in the period since 2008 which has seen numerous attempts by owners to renegotiate the prices and/or delivery dates of tonnage and an enormous increase in the level of “vessel rejection” and cancellation disputes. The Law of Shipbuilding Contracts examines the principles of English contract law as these apply to shipbuilding. This edition comments in detail upon the Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan Form but now contrasts this with the NEWBUILDCON from BIMCO in 2007 and the China Maritime Arbitration Commission Forms from 2011 where these are significantly different. It also includes sections dealing with agreements ancillary to the shipbuilding contract and conversion contracts. Overview of book: Since the last edition in 2002, China has become a major global exporter of newbuildings and new BIMCO shipbuilding contract form has been published. Although retaining the original format of commentary on the Japanese (SAJ) standard form shipbuilding contract, the new edition contrasts this with the BIMCO form and the recently published China Maritime Arbitration Commission (CMAC) form in order to provide a broad ranging analysis of this complex subject. The book details the principles of English contract law as these apply to international shipbuilding. It will, as in the previous editions, also include sections dealing with the guarantees and other agreements which support the shipbuilding contract and with ship conversion contracts Essential reading for: - Purchasers and charterers of newbuilding tonnage - Shipbuilders and offshore construction yards - Lawyers and insurers working in the maritime and offshore oil and gas sectors - Banks and other finance providers
