The XYZ Company is an oilfields company that has developed unique strategies that allow it to achieve superior performance by expanding consistently and challenging organizational boundaries. However, these policies fall under the category of Red Ocean strategy that focuses mainly on existing competition in the industry (Hill, et. al, 2014, p. 5). Therefore, there is the need for the company to embrace the blue ocean strategy to expand the boundaries and the market space. Blue ocean strategy refers to the creation of an undiscovered and new market space for a company. The approach ensures that a new customer network ...

Implementing Change

IMPLEMENTING CHANGE Change is an inevitable and crucial undertaking for an organization. Changes are introduced as a strategy to solve the existing problems faced by an organization. For the XYZ Company to emerge successfully and fight its weaknesses adequately, it will need to implement some changes. The paper covers the types of change, models of change to use and the involvement of internal and external stakeholders in change management. It also includes the methodology that the XYZ Oilfields Company can use to evaluate the success of the implemented change model.

The best-suited type of change to be implemented is ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

A clean energy vehicle, popularly known as green vehicle, is a motor vehicle that makes minimum harmful effects to the surrounding environment in comparison to conventional vehicles, which use either gasoline or diesel as fuel for their internal combustion engines. Clean energy vehicle technology focuses on bringing spectacular improvements in vehicle technologies with the intention of reducing the dependence of running vehicles on nonrenewable energy sources like oil and improving the fuel efficiency. The areas in which the technology concentrates are: bio-fuels, energy conversion, clean combustion, electrification of vehicles, advanced batteries, lightweight materials integration of vehicle grid and analysis ...

Introduction

The efforts to conserve our environment ensure a safe habitat for both the current and especially the future generation and controlling pollution in the energy sector is a crucial exercise. The role of clean energy technology available in the market is a positive step in giving the opportunity to more people to participate in protecting the environment from harm by avoiding pollutants with extensive damage. However, facing stiff competition from traditional energy producers, the clean energy industry stands a slim chance of succeeding in its revolutionary plans. The government policies that entail requirements for production of more energy from clean sources, influences investors ...

Abstract

The lack of movement towards cleaner more efficient energy sources due to financial and political interests of the greedy few has prompted actions to be taken to accelerate the shift to greener energy sources. There is an urgent need to educate America on the need to stop global warming through alternative energy sources that contribute less to global warming. Due to a lack of alternative fuel sources that will deliver the same energy supply with dually a cheaper cost and that will meet our pollution limitations, we as a country need to move forward to keep searching for novel technologies that will ...

Introduction

Renewable energy is actually the energy, which comes from the resources that are continually replenished. These resources include wind, rain, sunlight, geothermal heat, waves, and tides. Renewable sources of energy contribute approximately 16% of the global final energy. The country used to experience series of energy crises due to its dependence on the foreign oil. The lawmakers thus created the federal subsidies in early 1970s to both develop and promote these sources of energy. Currently, United States relies heavily on natural gas, oil, and coal. Fossils fuels as sources of energy are non-renewable. The energy crisis throughout the world ...

A brief analysis of goals and challenges

ABSTRACT The contemporary world of today is faced with several environmental problems that increasingly threaten our continued existence. At the heart of all such environmental effects is pollution, primarily carbon based emission. Realizing the need to reduce these emissions, the world nations have together decided on the transformation to a low carbon society. Power generation and transport are particularly the main sources of emission and the world therefore has to consider moving away from fossil fuels to renewable sources through technological development. In order to achieve this, the world nations have decided to reduce emissions and have also put ...

Business ethics and environmental pollution

Business ethics and environmental pollution In business ethics, there are three main spheres that a business tries to keep closely monitored. These spheres are: ensuring public relations with the consumers and other stakeholders (company image) is fully maintained, ensuring that the business or employees operates within restricted criminal law and lastly ensuring civil law is also maintained in the business operations. Considering that pollution is not restricted in third world countries, businesses release pollutants into the environment without any form of treatment. This is what makes it questionable to look at the implications of business ethics to polluting ...
