Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, London Business School (London Business School / INSEAD), language: English, abstract: This report examines the subject of profitable growth in the modern cruise industry by comparing the financial and operating performance and the management practices of the two leading cruise operators, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, over the twelve-year period from 1996 to 2007. During the past 40 years the cruise industry has evolved from a form of mere transoceanic transportation to an alternative vacation at sea. Despite growing at a CAGR of 7.7% since 1980, the penetration rate for the cruise industry is only 17%. In North America alone the cruise industry generated $20.6 billion in 2006. By comparison, the lodging industry in North America generated revenues of $133.4 billion during the same year. The cruise industry remains a relatively young industry. This is proven by the fact that, of the 168 million passengers that have cruised globally since 1990, 72% cruised in the past ten years and 43% in the past five years alone. The cruise industry has continually expanded to meet or boost demand: 40 new ships were built in the 1980s, 80 new ships were built in the 1990s, and 46 new ships are scheduled to enter the global market within the next four years. Even though there are more than 30 brands of cruise lines, only two companies dominate this industry: Carnival Corp & Plc (CCL) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCL). The cruise industry remains highly segmented by product-with a variety of brands targeting a wide array of price points, consumer needs, and itineraries-but by the end of 2007 Carnival and Royal Caribbean alone controlled about two-thirds of the global capacity, with shares of 45% and 21% respectively. Back in 1987, their estimated combined share of global capacity was only 11%. Up until 2000, Carnival and Royal Caribbean followed a

The future of the cruise industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for cruise lines and customers. Technological advancements are profoundly changing the cruise industry and are rendering it all the more technology driven. The behemoth cruise industry shows no signs of decelerating anytime in the imminent future. Passenger cruise line are poised to have prosperous, lucrative, and auspicious futures as disposable incomes rise among tourists and as the desire to travel builds traction worldwide among prospective tourists. "The 2018 total worldwide ocean cruise industry is estimated at $45,600,000,000, a 4.6% increase over 2017 with 26,000,000 annualized passengers carried, a 3.3% increase over 2017" ("2018 Worldwide Cruise," n.d.). The popularity of cruising is building traction worldwide partially due to cruise lines being able to provide customers with more amenities than ever before. In other words, "today's ships offer a world of innovations that build cruise lines' brands, from sky-diving simulators, biking above the ocean and robotic bartenders, to celebrity chef kitchens, butler service and all-suite staterooms and facilities that accommodate family members of all generations traveling together or even passengers cruising solo. Cruise ships' facilities and services continue to exceed the expectations of a growing population of travelers, and cruisers can easily find a cruise line, ship, stateroom and itinerary to suit them" ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.). The future of the cruise industry will be prosperous for innovative cruise lines. Demand for cruising is apt to increase as cruise lines increase their amenities and offerings. The cruise industry is slated to expand to an unprecedented size in the coming year. "The cruise ship order book from 2018-2025 includes 50 new ocean-going vessels from cruise lines, representing 220,000 lower berths and an investment value of $51,000,000,000" ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.). The cruise ship industry will become all the more poised to service more customers in the pending years. By integrating more cruise ships into their fleets, cruise lines can service more customers. "From a capacity standpoint, utilization is consistently over 100% in the cruise industry" ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.). Cruise lines that cannot keep up with customer demand for their services due to their cruise ships being at maximum passenger capacity windup succumbing to forgoing earning revenue from prospective customers. By adding more cruise ships to fleets, cruise lines will be able to service more customer apart of their target markets and generate more revenue. "Demand for cruising has increased 20.5%" ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.) from 2011-2016 ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.). The cruise industry is renowned for providing the optimal vacation option for various generations of customers to revel in experiencing. "It is unsurprising that the cruise industry is the fastest-growing category in the leisure travel market" ("2018 Cruise Industry," n.d.). Cruises offer "something for everyone, provide a hassle free vacation experience, are easy to plan and arrange, offer a chance to visit several disparate destinations" ("2018 Cruise Industry"), have buffets, have a vast "variety of activities, have high quality entertainment, have activities for children" ("2018 Cruise Industry"), and provide a robust "vacation experience for the entire family" ("2018 Cruise Industry").

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 7.0, London School of Marketing, course: Strategic Business Management and Planning, language: English, abstract: According to Cummings (2003), the word strategy comes from the Greek language and is a combination of the words army and to lead. Carter et al (2008) argues that the word strategy is linked both to the military and business fields and has been used in the second approach since the end of the Second World War when some entrepreneurs started to implement strategic planning in their business Big projects and most of the businesses require a plan where the expected and not so expected opportunities and obstacles are forecasted, aiming to survive successfully when facing competition. According to Chandler (1962), when environment changes take place, the urge for new strategies emerges and the company is therefore driven by its new structure. It is known that Carnival Corporation started as a small business, and driven by its founder through his enthusiasm, goals and plans it became an industrial leader. He proved his ambitious when buying the distressed company just after two years of operation. Aiming to be different from the other cruise ships from that time, Carnival gave special attention to the passengers’ needs and was the first cruise line company to provide a more entertaining atmosphere onboard. In order to have a precise business plan and know where it will be in the future, every company needs a focused concept of the current environment where it operates. Who are the people involved, what is the business concept, what are the opportunities, who are the competitors, what are the keys to success? Once all these questions would probably lead to more questions, a research process should then be started to obtain the answers, according to Cyr (2007).
