...points on my classmates’ report, which are missing or incomprehensible. My first recommendation is that each consultancy report is certainly required to have a specific market point and to include a PEST analysis of the company. After that, it would be necessary to have a comparison and a clear benchmarking between John West and its competitors and a feasibility analysis. Furthermore, the solution section should include not only the proposals of a different fishing method but also the financial impact that each one of these methods could have on the company and how each one of these methods could help the company to improve its products’ quality and its sales. Finally, since the problem is recognized and the consultancy group tries to solve it, the advertisement should not be only as a reference but it should be part of the solution. 1. Specific market point and PEST analysis Reading through the project it is not clearly comprehensible that the report is based in United Kingdom’s market. The result of this fact on the consultancy report is that we do not know the exact competitors, the exact consumers, the specific market pool and it is reasonable that the SWOT analysis is not as accurate as it could be and of course the PEST analysis is totally absent. The PEST analysis is necessary, because it would give us information especially about the social and technological factors that could help for the solution of the problem either showing the consumers’ needs and demands or...

...caught essentially for consumption. However, catching fish happens to be a well-known recreational pastime as well. Recreational fishing is also known as sport fishing. The main motive behind recreational fishing is pleasure or relaxation along with competition in some cases. It should not be mixed with subsistence or commercial fishing. While subsistence fishing is for basic survival, commercial fishing is essentially for profit. In some countries, recreational fishing has various rules as well as regulations to follow and enjoy the process. The regulations that are imposed on recreational fishing include the laws and the licensing restrictions that deal with limiting the procedures by which the fish might be caught. The most typical of these restrictions include prohibition in using nets and using hooks that are not into the mouth. The most usual form of such fishing is done with the aid of line, reel, rod, hooks, etc. These devices should be used along with the huge range of available baits. In order to help the individuals in the act of fishing, devices called terminal tackle are also used widely. The devices that are generally considered under terminal tackle include floats, swivels, weights, etc. These devices usually help to complement the bait that is being presented to the target. Sometimes lures, instead of baits are also used in recreational fishing. Some of the enthusiastic individuals insist on preparing their own lures instead of using the ones that are available in the...

...Foundations of Operational Research and Business Analysis 1 Assignment 2013/14 Author: Thibaut Achard de Leluardière Abstract: Looking through the infinite number of theories and models developed in organisations, this assignment aims at finding out the founding principles of a good OR/MS model and general issues encountered in the setting-up of OR interventions. To try out and compare the insights presented, this assignment proposes to study a specific case about OR modelling in Fishery management. Fishery Management is related to the preservation of fish resources and optimisation of catch and profit of this industry, in a context of high-yield practices and increasingly more complex environmental issues present. This case applies to a large and complex system linked to today’s topics issues of sustainable development. In addition, a personal experience of analytical project related to an internship position as assistant project manager in a leading oil company is proposed to illustrate this essay. This essay concludes by giving recommendations about what could be the characteristics of an ideal portrait of OR/MS model. Introduction: In a letter addressed to English universities after the Second World War, general Pile, a popular British officer who commended the Anti-Aircraft Command, claims for men of sciences ‘able to quickly understand complex issues and to find them simple’. Thus, supporting the fast economic growth in Europe after war, operational...

...because of this, their warehouse finished goods inventory has become bloated, with twice the normal supply on hand. This paper will address the decision process. In doing so we will define the problem, look at the decision dimensions, provide analysis of the supply and demand drivers as well as elasticities most relevant in the case, look at industry structure and concentration, and look at expectations of equilibriums and game theory as the future plays out. From this we can draw a conclusion and recommendation. Class or Mass Case Study The fish market is a 20 billion dollar industry (Kesner & Walters, 2005, para. 5) and one company has played a major role. Neptune Gourmet Seafood is an 820 million dollar corporation (Kesner & Walters, 2005, para. 5, 9) that has just recently invested heavily in technology, allowing their trawlers to move further out to sea to fish and maintain the quality the company has been known for. In doing so, they have found themselves reaching a decision point. Even though they have been going further out to sea, they have been bringing back larger than normal catches and because of this, their warehouse finished goods inventory has become bloated, twice the normal supply on hand. To address the decision they face, we will define the problem, look at the decision dimensions, provide analysis of the supply and demand...

...offers. One of these great attractions is tourist fishing. Found At Sea is one of the few companies that offer fishing adventures. Although there have been difficulties expanding, the Kava manager Alex and I have applied some critical thinking and began a decision-making process that uncovered problems and defined some solid steps to reach the company’s goals. We now will have a look at applying our decision-making techniques that identified our solutions, and provide an analysis of our chosen steps. We will also determine which decision-making model worked the best for our organizations problems and how they impact our solutions. * * Techniques to Identify the Solution * At the Florida locations, Found At Sea uses the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threat’s) analysis method to conduct the company’s needs to run effectively and efficiently. Since my landing at the Kava location, I noticed the obvious signs of un- organization, external factors such as the recent typhoon debris and economical differences, and other internal factors; I described several measures needed to change. The SWOT method has been established at the Florida locations and works very well. By using this technique, we can evaluate if our solutions are being formed in a manner that frames the well-being of the company, our customers and the local economy of Kava. With the problems identified, it is important to begin the process of identifying the best solution. Found At Sea needs...

...investment in new fishing vessel technology and freezer trawlers has increased their average catch size while demand in the current segment has not grown as quickly. The Neptune management team is faced with a decision of how to clear out its excess inventory that is not moving fast enough under its Neptune Gold branding. My recommendation is to launch a mass-market product under a different product line in order to monetize excess inventory and position Neptune to capture more of the North American seafood market share. Going forward Neptune management must be more cautious in matching investment in production to growth in market demands. B. Situation Analysis Summary: Neptune Gourmet Seafood is currently North America’s third largest seafood producer with 4% in market share. Tagged “The Best Seafood on the Water Planet”, Neptune has a reputation to maintain and focuses heavily on its product to keep its customers satisfied. Neptune has done a great job reaching a variety of customer. 30% of revenues from grocery chains, 33% from wholesalers distributing across the U.S., and the remaining third coming from sales to the biggest cruise lines and also choice restaurants within 250 miles of Neptune’s headquarters. Through the situation analysis it is apparent that the root cause for excess inventory is a rapid growth in production capacity due to technological investment but less significant growth in its single high-end market segment (See Root Cause Analysis in Appendix D)...

...Fishing is the activity of catching fish. It is an ancient practice dating back at least 40,000 years. Since the 16th century fishing vessels have been able to cross oceans in pursuit of fish and since the 19th century it has been possible to use larger vessels and in some cases process the fish on board. Fish are normally caught in the wild. Techniques for catching fish include hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping. The term fishing may be applied to catching other aquatic animals such as shellfish, cephalopods, crustaceans, and echinoderms. The term is not usually applied to catching aquatic mammals, such as whales, where the term whaling is more appropriate, or to farmed fish. In addition to providing food, modern fishing is also a recreational sport. According to FAO statistics, the total number of fishermen and fish farmers is estimated to be 38 million. Fisheries and aquaculture provide direct and indirect employment to over 500 million people.[1] In 2005, the worldwide per capita consumption of fish captured from wild fisheries was 14.4 kilograms, with an additional 7.4 kilograms harvested from fish farms.[2] Contents 1 Prehistory 2 Ancient history 3 Commercial fishing 3.1 Fish netting 3.2 Herring fisheries 3.3 Trawling 3.4 Cod trade 3.5 Trepanging 3.6 Chinese Americans 4 Artisan fishing 5 Recreational fishing 5.1 The fishing reel 5.2 Fly fishing ...

...Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of marine protection areas within Australian waters and to analyse its policy from an environmental and economic viewpoint, in order to forward policy recommendations for future consideration. A Background to Environmental Policy The underlying assumption behind environmental policy is that by designing social intervention we can bring about environmental improvement. However, designing a policy that actually produces the changes you seek is extremely difficult. Chiefly, planning and policy attempt to exercise control, to develop a desired future (Thomas 2007, p.7). But control is difficult enough to achieve over people, let alone trying to control the physical environment (Thomas 2007, p.7). Another fundamental issue for policy-makers is the direction of the policy. In particular they have to consider whether they are attempting to prevent environmental impacts that result from human action, or whether they are attempting to adapt to such changes, consciously or unconsciously (Thomas 2007, p.8). Natural Resources Natural resources have been critical for human welfare since people first started to walk the earth several million years ago (Field 2005 p.27). Natural resource economics is the study of how the flow of goods and services derived from natural resources is, and should be, managed in today’s world (Field 2005 p.37). Field continues to state that resource management problems derive from the underlying...

...Name Public Relations PR Response Analysis to BP Oil Spill Instructor May 1, 2015 PR Response Analysis to BP Oil Spill This is an analysis of BP’s PR responses to several public audiences and industries after the BP Oil Spill disaster that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. This disaster is also known as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The spill began on April 20th, 2010 on the BP-owned Transocean operated Macondo Prospect. The catastrophe stemmed from a gas release and ensuing explosion on the oil rig. According to BP’s website, “We acted to take responsibility for the clean-up, working under the direction of the federal government to respond swiftly to compensate people affected by the impact of the accident, to look after the health, safety and welfare of the large number of residents and people who helped respond to the spill, and to support the economic recovery of the Gulf Coast’s tourism and seafood industries impacted by the spill. We have conducted studies with federal and state natural resource trustees to identify and define the injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico”. BP allowed their use of social media to expose their corporation’s lack of professionalism and customer service. By addressing important topics from this disaster through social media channels they compromised their integrity immediately. It also was perceived as hiding behind a forum that was less than ideal to use for this particular situation. Society and certain industries can instantly...

...suppliers who are not fishing in a sustainable manner. This approach to sustainability is superficial. The rejected seafood by your company, not in-line with their sustainability standards, can be readily sold elsewhere. Your company is not providing incentives for the suppliers to reach sustainability goals together. This report provides a recommendation and an implementation plan for your company to achieve their goals while demonstrating true sustainability. With regards to the triple bottom line, your company is focusing their attention on Place (nature) while neglecting the People (suppliers) affected in the change. They intend to increase their profits by differentiating themselves through sustainability but as a fisherman pointed out in the article, it resembles a marketing ploy. Knowing some suppliers would be negatively impacted by the change; Your company did little to ease the transition. In fact, your company made the transition more difficult by moving up the deadline for adopting sustainable practices. The lack of interaction and cooperation between your company and the suppliers makes its sustainability initiative seem questionable. Your company’s competitive strategy is focused differentiation and any organizational actions and stance taken should be derived from its unique proposition. Current state between your company and the suppliers is being managed using a power strategy, leading to an unsustainable relationship. The fishing ban is a change in...

Owning your own business can be a very rewarding and lucrative experience. This experience even though rewarding can come at a tremendous cost of personal time and personal financial investment. Enlisting the efforts and finances of a partner can aide in successfulness of the business while sharing the financial burden and the responsibilities in starting and operating the business. With the right partnership relationship the businesses owners could use the combined abilities and talents in making the business a success. The partners could support each other in the decisions and operation of the business. The decision to start a partnership is one that should be based on common interest and common among the partners. Commonalities like an excellent work ethic and clear understanding of financial discipline should be similar among all parties involved. Operating a business with a partner can also be a very negative experience. Shared decisions and shared profits and disagreements can lead to hard feelings amongst the partners. Partnerships that involve friends or family are a risk too. Friendships can be lost with hard feelings with long lasting effects that can cause families to split. Forming a partnership someone who does not share the same work ethic and financial discipline...

...Poverty Context Analysis of Fisherfolk Communities at Sitakunda 1. Context Analysis: Fisheries play an important role in the economy of Bangladesh in terms of nutrition, employment and income generation. The World Bank and the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (1998) state in their publication ‘Bangladesh 2020’, that 80 percent of the population’s animal protein comes from fish. Despite the fact that the fishing industry accounts for only 8 percent of agricultural GDP, its employment potential is considered vast. It is estimated that the sector fully employs approximately 1.5 million people and provides part-time employment for an additional 11 million (The World Bank and the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies, 1998). According to Habib (1999), the fisheries industry contributes employment to 12% of the total working population in various forms of livelihoods activities. In the mid 1990s fisheries contributed about 10 percent of Bangladesh’s export earnings. The Meghna Estuary Study (May 1998, first draft) estimates the population living in coastal marine fishing villages at the end of the 20th Century at 7.3 million. According to the same source, in these areas fishing is the main income earning activity for 350,000 households (i.e. 22%), and 96,000 boats are operated by 350,000 fishermen. “Traditionally, it was the low caste Hindus who engaged in the fishing profession: the Jaladas, the Malos, the Malla Burmans, all popularly known as the Jeles, the Naiyas or...
