Few methods adopted by POSCO to reduce GHG are installation
of censors to reduce eliminate unnecessary use of electricity. Reuse slag
generated in steel making process to manufacture cement rather dumping slag in
landfills. Recuse of 70% of by-product gases to in house electricity
generation. Encourage employees to adopt greener habits and look out for
opportunities to support projects to reduce carbon emissions.
As
a result, there is little awareness regarding the fact that the organisation
and characteristics of a production and supply chain strongly influence the
volumes of water consumption and pollution that can be associated with a final
consumer product. Hoekstra and Chapagain (2008) have shown that visualizing the
hidden water use behind products can help in understanding the global character
of fresh water and in quantifying the effects of consumption and trade on water
resources use.
Nowadays,
few people doubt that the climate is changing and that human activity is the
major cause. The evidence is unequivocal according to 2007 fourth assessment
report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an assessment
that synthesises the research of 2500 scientists. The period from 1997 to 2008
includes the 10 warmest years since global records began in 1850, while average
sea level rises are accelerating.
The
word research is composed of two syllables re and search. The dictionary
defines the former as a prefix meaning again, anew or over again and the latter
as verb meaning to examine closely and carefully, to test and try or to probe.
Together they form a noun describing a careful systematic patient study and
investigation in some field of knowledge, undertaken to establish facts or
principles.
The market
position and strategies adopted to counter certain situations is ultimately
going to decide the fate of these strategic groups. The analysis also indicates
that Southwest Airlines are relatively differentiated from the majority of
other strategic groups in both price and customer satisfaction. Rivalry is
generally less for differentiated strategic groups and with fewer rivals with
similar capabilities, but competitive pressure often intensifies with price
cuts and as successful strategies are implemented (Thompson et al, 2010).
What
are my clients’ most common presenting problems? What are their most common
underlying problems? What is the socioeconomic background of my clients? Why am
I successful in certain cases and not in others? What resources are available
in the community to help a client with a particular need? What intervention
strategies are appropriate for this problem? How satisfied are my clients with
my services?
Your
philosophical orientation may stem from one of the several paradigms and
approaches in research – positivist, interpretive, phenomenology, action or
participatory, feminist, qualitative, quantitative – and the academic
discipline in which you have been trained. The concept of validity can be
applied to any aspect of the research process. It ensures that in a research
study correct procedures have been applied to find answers to a question.
What POSCO can do to reduce its emissions? POSCO can
concentrate on improving its recycling efficiency. We studied one the
competitors of POSCO, Nippon Steel, which uses same steel making process (i.e.
blast furnace process) to manufacture steel. Nippon’s current emissions are
1.94 tons of GHG per 1 ton of steel production. This .2 ton less when compared
to POSCO.
