All organizations have a specific business strategy set in place helping them to monitor their daily activities and operations, generate and retain customers, gain the competitive advantage and achieve their organizational goals and objectives (Kourdi, 2003). The question of a company winning or loosing in the market place can be attributed to the fact that decides how effectively the organization strategy is implemented and how well it is being carried out (Ulwick, 1999). Hence, it is necessary to give al lot of importance when it comes to laying out strategies for the organization to compete and survive in the market place.

Cozumel Quintana Roo cuenta con una elevada población vehicular comparada con su extensión territorial, más de la mitad del parque vehicular de la isla está conformado por motocicletas lo que significa que los automóviles no son predominantes en esta entidad, su costo accesible, las facilidades de pago, rendimiento de gasolina y las cortas distancias a recorrer en la isla las hacen el transporte ideal para las personas que no cuentan...

I was unaware of the effects that left Rome in ruins during the immediate aftermath of World War II. A film produced based on serendipity, Rome Open City by Janus FIlms, was the film of it’s generation a unique masterpiece featuring a story of an atypical storyline in Rome, Italy. After the abolition of Rome by the Americas in 1944, this film was published to set the tone for the Italian film industry, that since “the so-called Italian cinema was invented by the fascists,” it had to be suppressed. The story of Teresa Gullace, who was an Italian woman killed by the Germans in front of the barracks on viale Giulio Cesare, who was the inspiration of a famous scene of the death of Pina. Gullace was killed while running after her fiance, who was being abducted. In 1945, the time period of the film, the war was still going on in the rest of Italy. The film is divided up into two seperate parts the first half more focused on the lives of daily resistance fighters living in Rome, Italy. Before the war, Rome was classified as an “Open City” meaning that the population of Romans were able to wonder the streets without fear of the city being attacked or being killed while on a strole.

...Rice-fish farming systems in China Both rice and fish cultivation have long histories in Asia, where many species and varieties of each originated and were first developed for human use. Fish can be raised in rice fields, either concurrently with the rice crop or in rotation with rice. Ricefish farming can also be practised at different intensities. Not only do rice-fish systems use one habitat to produce both an important grain and a protein resource, but they also promote some very beneficial interactions: rice plants provide shade for fish, while fish oxygenate the water. The systems also minimize risks for resource-poor farmers, protect natural resources and promote biodiversity. As world rice production increases, so too does the adoption of rice-fish farming systems. THE SITUATION THE SITUATION Rice is the dominant staple crop of tropical Asia, where it has a long history of domestication and a rich diversity of cultivated ecotypes based on three types of Oryza sativa (indica, japonica and javanica), which are cultivated in different agro-ecological zones for their differing growth, grain and yield characteristics. There are four basic rice agro-ecosystems in China, each with its own peculiar edaphic conditions: irrigated ecosystems, terrace ecosystems, lowland rainfed ecosystems, and flood-prone (very deep water) ecosystems. In addition, many freshwater fish species originated in tropical Asia, especially carps, catfishes and air-breathing fishes. In China there...

A management approach focused on customer satisfaction can improve customer loyalty, thus increasing the positive image of the touristic destination. Hence, exploring the importance for customers of hotel attributes in hotel selection is indispensable. Research on the topic of guest satisfaction, which translates into the consideration of whether or not customers will return to a hotel or advise it to other tourists, is pivotal to the success of the hospitality business. Neglecting to pay attention to those hotel attributes considered most important by guests, may lead to negative evaluation of the hotel, thus restricting the chance of repeat patronage.
