Climate change impacts on Peruvian’s Anchovy Industry Chatrine Tandil 20th November 2012 Earth and Ocean Science 314 Long assignment Figure 1 Note, Adapted from “Upwelling,” 2010, http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gl)/guides/mtr/eln/upw.rxml. Copyright 2010 by urbana-champaign INTRODUCTION In 2010, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations verified Peru as the second largest fishing industry in the world based on 7.4 million tones fish catch annually. Due to its strategic position, upwelling process has occurred in Peru’s ocean. This process, which happens due to extensive wind system and the Coriolis Effect, is the main reason ocean in Peru provides fishermen with higher successful rate in fishing. As illustrated by figure 1, the trade wind from the Southeast that is parallel to the coast pushes warm surface water away from the coast and being replaced by deep water, this process is known as upwelling.

Introduction In 2010, the Chinese automotive manufacturing company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (Geely) purchased Volvo Cars (Volvo) from the American automobile giant Ford for US$1.8 billion, putting both Volvo and Geely in the global spotlight - how could Geely, who only had 13 years of automobile manufacturing experience, think they were ready to become a major player in the global automotive business, particularly when outside of China, the brand was predominantly unknown. Since the acquisition of Volvo, Geely began making headlines and becoming recognised in new markets, but would this be beneficial or harmful to their brand, and will this lead to securing competitive advantage in the global market? Background Information Geely was founded in 1986 as a refrigeration parts company and started producing motorcycles in 1994, small vans in 1998 and received approval to produce automobiles in 2001 (Geely Brand History 2014). Geely expressed interest in exporting to the European Union and the United States, and presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2005 and the Detroit Motor Show in 2006 - exporting was postponed after this. Pursuant of their desire to enter the global market, Geely approached Ford in 2008 to express interest in the takeover of Volvo cars, and a deal was reached in March 2010 that named Geely the owner of Volvo cars, although Geely and Volvo both continued to operate independently.
