INTRODUCTION TO THE BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY The Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) concept is known to us since 1995 on a book titled “Blue Ocean Strategy” written by W. Chan Kim in which the book was a success and being translated into over 40 languages (Bryan‚ 2006). However‚ the concept that the author described had been used in practice decades ago. In this write up‚ focus will be given on introducing the blue ocean strategy concept and examples from Crocs incorporation and Nintendo incorporation

ponds‚ lakes and freshwater wetland. o Marine or saltwater‚ which includes oceans‚ seas‚ estuaries‚ coral reefs and saltwater wetland. Each of these aquatic ecosystems can be defined by variables such as temperature‚ the presence or absence of light‚ and the availability of nutrients. Aquatic biomes cover almost all the world (around 75% of the surface) and only 3% of them are freshwaters. Freshwater ecosystems This ecosystem is defined as having a low salt concentration of less than 1%. It helps

Temperature‚ soil‚ and the amount of light and water help determine what life exists in a biome. It is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and non-living things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example‚ an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests. 2. What are the 2 types of biomes? Give at least 5 examples for each type.

These trees typically grow in alkaline soils but they do not live long. The fog in the valley contribute to the pine forest’s ecosystem and helps it stay alive. Yellow Pine has a montane ecosystem because it is located in the mountains. It stays in colder climates because it is in a higher elevation point. The reason why these trees are still here today is because throughout the years‚ they adapted to the environment

However‚ according to the data released by Water Environment Partnership in Asia (WEPA) in 2005‚ 42.89% of the waters in the Philippines are contaminated. These contaminated waters have not only been continuously harming people‚ but also the aquatic ecosystem of the country. It is said that approximately 31 percent of illness monitored for a 5-year period were caused by water borne sources. Moreover‚ more and more ecosystems are being polluted‚ causing

1.0 Introduction Last term the Biology and Geography class went to Hastings Point‚ New South Wales to visit three ecosystems found in the area‚ such as- mangroves‚ sand dunes and rocky shores. Hasting Points is the smallest coastal settlement of Tweed Shire. The hamlet is nestled between the ocean on its east and a delicate estuary on its west. This report will focus on the unique coastal habitats of Hasting Points and the various issues that challenge the sustainability of mangroves surrounding
