Explain the theoretical rationale for the NPV approach to investment appraisal and compare the strengths and weaknesses of the NPV approach to two other commonly used approaches. One of the key areas of long-term decision-making that firms must tackle is that of investment - the need to commit funds by purchasing land‚ buildings‚ machinery‚ etc.‚ in anticipation of being able to earn an income greater than the funds committed. In order to handle these decisions‚ firms have to make an assessment

Ocean Acidification The main theme of the 3 articles is that the ocean is becoming more acidic due to fossil-fuel emission of CO2. The ocean has absorbed about 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ this reduces the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (1). ). It is lowering the pH by .1 units changing it from 8.2 to 8.1… it is becoming more acidic. (2). It happens when the CO2 from the air mixes with the sea water‚ it produces a bicarbonate ion. This bicarbonate ion then

The ocean as vast and as mysterious as it is‚ is facing problems caused by humans dumping waste into it and that is causing marine life to be harmed. It was thought that the ocean was so deep and huge that no matter how much garbage you put into it would have small consequences. As we have seen that is very wrong‚ here are a few of the problems ocean pollution cause: Toxic metals can destroy the biochemistry‚ behavior‚ and reproduction of marine life. Fertilizer runoff creates eutrophication that

The Blue Ocean Strategy consists of strategy canvas‚ value curve‚ four actions framework‚ six paths‚ buyer experience cycle‚ buyer utility map and blue ocean idea index. This concept is very effective and can make a business person successful. In blue ocean‚ demand is created not to fought over. Blue Ocean is not about technology innovation

Ocean acidification is caused by CO2 in the atmosphere when it reacts with water it creates carbonic acid. It’s a significant and harmful consequence of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that we don’t see or feel because its effects are happening underwater. When carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater a chemical reaction occurs that reduces the seawaters pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biologically significant calcium carbonate minerals. It decreases the pH of seawater

The impact of Blue Ocean Strategy In the earlier work (See Blue Ocean Strategy: how to create uncontested market ‚ 2005) it has been argued two types of strategies: blue ocean strategy and red ocean strategy. Red ocean strategists compete to win market share in traditional mature markets and pursue either a differentiation or cost leader strategy. On the other hand‚ Blue ocean strategists‚ create new environments‚ redefine products or services or the nature of competition‚ make competition irrelevant

Future of Our Oceans The fact of the matter is that the levels of CO2 that this planet we call Earth is expelling is incredible. Like 30 billion tons per year incredible. This rate of change drastically effects everything‚ including the most popular type of surface we have on Earth‚ our oceans. Although the oceans are delaying the effects of global warming by taking in heaps of carbon dioxide‚ this does not mean the oceans go unaffected. This is not a small problem either. As oceans take in more

Indian Ocean‚ commerce changed significantly in this time period with the emergence of foreign presence that once only consisted of regions in South Asia. Additionally‚ the Indian Ocean region also changed because of the shift in the way piracy was viewed. However‚ commerce in the Indian Ocean region continued to connect the rest of South Asia because it was a prominent trade network. A change in commerce in the Indian Ocean region was the increasing foreign presence. Early on‚ the Indian Ocean trade

hasn’t escaped the world’s attention. Ocean acidification however is a much less known issue‚ it is a result of about 79 million tons of CO2 that is released into the atmosphere every single day‚ not just from fossil fuel burning‚ but also from the deforestation of cement‚ and the production of cement. Ever since the beginning of industrial revolution‚ approximately a third of the CO2 let into the atmosphere from anthropogenic reasons got absorbed by the world’s oceans‚ which plays a very big role in controlling
