The result is a high conscious emphasis on innovative ideas, but with a slow and guarded implementation procedure that is perhaps more thorough and critical than is warranted, leading to a reduction of the speed of innovation. Studies have shown that there is often a proportional decline in product innovation when process innovation increases in its prominence within a company's overall business strategy (Atkeson & Burstein 2007)
The comfort level that the team members experience with each other and the familiarity with the different thinking and learning styles that are represented in the organization all contribute to a willingness to express ideas and concerns, both of which contribute greatly to the pure emergence of entrepreneurial ideas (Perry-Smoth & Coff 2009). Allowing for the fullest possible expression of each individual's creative and rationale thought processes creates a positive dynamic within the group that allows for the emergence of entrepreneurial ideas, while the more "Darwinian" approach of first discussing and then culling ideas through constructive criticism and feasibility determinations aids in the implementation of the more successful and better suggested ideas (Perry-Smith & Coff 2009)
Then buy in from all staff from the front line to top management must be encouraged for a community policing plan to achieve its goals. To create an environment conducive to change and the successful implementation of a community policing program, officers must work on developing and standardizing community relations goals that are geared toward crime fighting, information gathering, patrol efficiency, empowering patrol officers, improving internal communications and building a supervision culture that is supportive and encouraging (Davis & Gianakis, 1998)
In order for community policing to be successful however, it has to be presented to organizations and individual police agents as a mechanism of positive change and law enforcement improvement. Community policing is often in fact adopted by police agencies as a mechanism for improving internal and external relations and delivering optimal service to communities within a given area (Fielding, 1995)
Without adequate participation from lower level managers a program is unlikely to gain support from font line staff and thus be faced with dissent and irritation. The focus of community policing efforts requires change on the part of officers that often goes against what they are accustomed to, meaning working on an independent level (Hartnett & Skogan, 1997)
In fact community policing is often considered a battle "in the hearts and minds of police officers" which usually operate under conditions that are de-centralized (Hartnett & Skogan, 1977). A community policing program will fail however if it is approached with resentment and fear of change (Lurigio & Rosenbaum, 1994)

It is important for us to note here that scientists at NASA are doing extensive research on this issue and it has been proposed that the climate change is predicted to have harmful effects in some regions of the world; meanwhile the changes in the weather patterns will also have some beneficial effects in some other parts of the world. However, the main focus of this paper will be on the harmful effects of climatic changes (Cox et al
5 to 10 degrees of Fahrenheit. The aforementioned organization includes over 1,300 scientists from United States and many other countries (Randal Jackson)
Ice on lakes and rivers breaks up earlier than it is supposed, the glaciers have shrunk, animal as well as plant ranges have started to shift and the trees have started to flower sooner than their expected season. The negative effects of the changes in the climate had already been predicted by the scientists in the past and these effects includes stronger heat waves, accelerated and longer rise in sea levels as well as loss of sea ice in some parts of the world (Vitousek)
And they are not just doing it to attract eco-minded guests and make a positive impression; they are turning to green concepts and technologies because it is the right thing to do to help reduce the greenhouse gases that are a main source of the problem. Hotels are Going Green "When you consider how often… sheets on the bed are changed and laundered, how many bars of fragranced soap are used only once… and how much electricity is used in a typical hotel, the impact on the environment is staggering… Is there really any need to have fresh sheets every day? You don't change the sheets on your bed at home every morning, so why should you do it when you're in the hotel?" (Albright, 2008) Roland Conrady and Martin Buck have published a book called Trends and Issues in Global Tourism 2011, and in the book the authors' first point to the facts of global climate change
8 mm each year from 1961 to 2003 -- and the melting of the Arctic sea ice -- which has shrunk by 2.7% per decade since 1978 (Walmsley, 2011, p
Temperature changes have an immediate effect on water at every stage of the hydrological cycle, and can contribute to the entire climate change cycle. Rises in atmospheric temperature will result in increases in precipitation, which could result in flooding as well as droughts ("The Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources," n
The problem is that these problems are slow to emerge, and the responses to climate change are political in nature due to the differing opinions on what can and should be done. There is "robust evidence" that climate change is already causing irreversible reductions in snow and ice masses ("Linking Climate Change and Water Resources," n
"Since the economies of the region are weak and corrupt therefore they do not seem to have any answer to the upcoming challenges so far." (Brown, 2001)
"The rising temperatures can release further greenhouse gasses by releasing methane at undersea deposits." (Hardy, 2003)
"If the following trend goes on then many catastrophic events can occur simultaneously which can threaten wildlife and economic progression of nations all across the planet." (Hanley, 2004)
But actions on what level or scale are necessary? Lawmakers, here and internationally, are advising cautious courses of action to address the prospect of climate change that many believe is still theoretical and cannot be foreseen with confidence. "Given uncertainties about the timing, pace, and magnitude of global warming projections and the imprecise nature of the regional distribution of possible climate changes, and recognizing the complex feedback mechanisms within the climate system that could mask, mimic, moderate, amplify, or even reverse a greenhouse-gas-induced warming, the question is posed: What policy responses, if any, are indicated, now, or in the future?" (Fletcher, 7) Many supporters of early actions to address potential climate change have suggested adopting a "precautionary principle" made up of a number of anticipatory, yet flexible policy responses that might be compared to an insurance policy purchase to hedge against some risks of potential climate modifications in the future
A hotter climate would most likely have far reaching effects on agriculture and forestry, managed and un-managed ecosystems, including natural habitats, human health, water resources, and the Earth's sea level depending on the climate's actual responses to the global warming. (Justus, 1) Although correlative synergies between projected long-range global climate trends and record-setting warmth and several severe weather events of the past two decades have not been fully drawn, research has been focused on possible extremes of climate change and the need for more complete and pervasive comprehension of climate processes to better climate model forecasts
According to Shaun Marcott of Oregon State University the decade from 1900 to 1910 was one of the coolest in 11,300 years, yet the decade from 2000 to 2010 was one of the warmest. Global thermometer records only date back to 1880, nonetheless those records show the last decade was the hottest for this more recent time period (Borenstein, 2013)
