Case Analysis Trouble in Paradise: Stakeholder Conflict in the Paseo Caribe Project Executive Summary Paseo Caribe project involved multiple parties with differing values and interests which resulted in the controversy and conflict.

He could have proceed with the project regardless of the public’s complaints and disagreements or he could have tried to be more socially responsible and make an effort to address the irregularities in the permits as well as other legally questionable government’s actions . The first decision would badly impact his reputation and the reputation of the construction sector. The latter would require more time and could have negative financial impacts on the project. Other stakeholders in the case are real estate developers. Good reputation of the island’s government locally and abroad is crucial for the island’s contraction sector. Real estate developers realized that the fall of the project will affect the opinion of the foreign investors about the creditability of the Puerto Rican government which will prevent investment flows into the sector. The representatives of the construction sector feared that foreign investors could shift their investment priorities to Dominican Republic or Florida. Security of currently existing construction projects was another concern of the real estate investors. If government permits were revoked for the Paseo Caribe project, they could have been revised and cancelled for any other development project on the island. The Puerto Rican government is another big stakeholder who had to face many conflicting moral challenges. The Paseo Caribe project had the potential to bring
First, by not conducting research before the kick-off meeting, or creating a project charter for stakeholders to sign, Ms. Briggs failed to gather all the information necessary for the meeting. She also will not have the benefit of lessons learned from similar projects (Dow and Taylor, p. 112). The case study reveals little effort on anyone’s part to setting up a repository for project documentation. Instead, Ms. Briggs intends to learn new software that may have some benefit for scheduling.
Colombia was one of the three original countries along with Ecuador and Venezuela that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830. Over the last 40 years, there has been a campaign to overthrow the government partially because of the drug trades throughout Colombia. The movement does however lack support from military and support from the necessary influences. In recent years, there have been challenges for control of the territories throughout Colombia and also for the drug trade.

I will be discussing how the country of Puerto Rico’s impact of resource scarcity, issues with boundary delineation, separatism and sovereignty issues, poverty, migration, legacies of colonialism and imperialism, global climate change and its impact. The once poor nation of Puerto Rico now seems to be a stepping stone for trading in the Caribbean. With its location in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is a major asset for shipping lanes. One of the main reasons the U.S. wanted to take over this land. Its geographical location is important in helping to move resources around the world, as well as keeping an eye on Cuba. The economic system of
If you image yourself riding on a boat to set sail for new land and riches and you get thrown off path well that is what happened to Cabeza and his crew. The narvaez expedition sailed in 1527 until 1532 they went on this expedition because they wanted to set sail for new world. After the expedition the ships were carried off course in the gulf of mexico to what is today called Tampa, Florida. Cabezas rafts were blown ashore to Galveston Island and Indians captured him and he was slave for two years (background essay). How did Cabeza de vaca survive? Cabeza de vaca survived because of his success as a healer, survival skills, and his respect for the native americans.
Imagine an explorer that is captured by Indians for two years and then have to example and find a way back to their home, or die. Well this is exactly what Cabeza de Vaca went through in his journey. Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer that landed on modern day Galveston Island, Texas, Cabeza de Vaca was also captured by Indians during his trip. Cabeza de Vaca escaped after two years of being captive. Cabeza de Vaca survived his journey because of his relationship he built with most Indian tribes, his prior knowledge, and his ability to know a lot of languages.
The federal government controls all international trade for the commonwealth and it does not consist of much. Fortunately for Puerto Rico, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world to visit so the tourist attraction of the island is tremendous. However, because most of the jobs in Puerto Rico are government jobs, there is no real inspiration to aspire to be something greater than a government employee. This is where, thankfully so, social role models in the form of professional baseball players and others comes in to play a significant role as they represent hard work and autonomy.
Running over mountains, through 100 degree heat, (Document A) while being chased by Indians, he had to eat spiders just to keep from starving(Document B). This was Cabeza De Vaca’s life while he tried to survive. Cabeza De Vaca ate anything, slept anywhere, and did anything he had to do just to keep his life. All he wanted was to find a New World, but instead he found himself in difficult situations around every corner he turned. The only way Cabeza de Vaca survived was because of his wilderness skill, success as a healer, and his respect for Indians.
Have you ever felt alone, scared, or feared of never seeing home again? For 8 years this was the life of Cabeza de Vaca. Cabeza de Vaca, a spanish conquistador, sets out on his expedition to West Florida. But things didn't go as planned when he and only 3 survivors are stranded in East Texas. Despite all that life threw at him, how did Cabeza survive? Adapting to his environment, Cabeza de Vaca was able to survive because of his wilderness skills, communication skills, and his ability to heal and perform surgery on wounded Native Americans.
Cabeza de Vaca. Stranded, disoriented, and hungry, had to walk four hundred miles down a coast to the closest Spanish outpost. Cabeza de Vaca also had to cross a river nearly two hundred miles and didn’t know how to swim. And this wasn’t the only deranged scenario Cabeza de Vaca went through. According to Document A, Cabeza de Vaca and three hundred other men set sail in 1527 to colonize settlements on the Coast of Mexico. They were shipwrecked and was one of four other survivors by the time they got to the coast of Mexico. Cabeza de Vaca survived by being a healer, respecting Native Americans, and utilizing his wilderness skills.

History of the region from the pre-Columbian period and including colonization by the Spanish and Portuguese beginning in the 15th century, the 19th-century wars of independence, and developments to the end of World War II.Latin America is generally understood to consist of the entire continent of South America in addition to Mexico, Central America, and the islands of the Caribbean whose inhabitants speak a Romance language.

Can a singular methodology for project management be designed to “force” cooperation to occur between groups?
Team members identified internal and external obstacles that difficult the deliveries of outcomes. Without adequate mitigation strategies, these obstacles imposed risks in the deliveries of the project.
