Panama Canal
After finishing a project need and feasibility assessment applying the GM591 Unit 1 Worksheet: Demonstrating Project Need and Feasibility for a Project of the distant past in order to examine the project of the construction of the Panama Canal, I have determined that the Project was without a doubt an initial example of strategic project management that attained the directed benefits and goals. The project objective and essential idea were visibly well-defined, the economic and organizational resources were arranged, and a marketplace examination in order to display the need and the costs and benefits were clearly communicated. Project stakeholders were looked up and the project strategy was evidently described.
Project Goal
The goal of the Panama Canal project was obviously defined for the project guarantors who would be the client, customer, final owner, or object offering subsidy. A project promoter is the decision-making interested party or shareholder who has extensive responsibility for the project's result (Resch, 2011). In the circumstance of planning the Panama Canal, the chief supporter would have been President Theodore Roosevelt himself. The main goal of the project was to build to shorten the distance that ships had to travel to pass between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans of 1904. (McCullough, 2012).
Resources
President Theodore Roosevelt developed offered a one-time $10 million payment to Panama, and an annual annuity of $250,000. There were already beyond 24,000 men working on the Panama Canal. Within five years, the number had swelled to 45,000. These workers were not all from the United States, but from Panama, the West Indies, Europe, and Asia (Missal, 2008). President Theodore Roosevelt made sure that housing for married workers was delivered rent-free, and homes increased in luxury as stated by a worker's place...

Core Project Concept and Market Analysis
The core project conception took place in the U.S. when they formally took control of the canal property on May 4, 1904, receiving from the French an exhausted workforce and a vast jumble of buildings, substructure and equipment. There was speculation in extensive sanitation projects, including city water systems, fumigation of buildings, spraying of insect-breeding areas with oil and larvicide, installation of mosquito netting and window screens, and elimination of stagnant water (Missal, 2008). There was speculation in wide-ranging sanitation projects, as well as city water systems, disinfection of buildings, spraying of insect-breeding parts with larvicide and oil, installation of mosquito netting and window screens, and removal of motionless water. As quickly as likely, the Americans substituted or upgraded the old, impracticable French apparatus with new construction gear that was planned for a much faster and larger rule of work. Around 102 new large, railroad-mounted steam shovels were bought and transported in from the United States.
The marketplace segments that dominate the Canal container traffic are fairly profound to Canal tolls, and as a result a rise in Canal tolls would outcome in a noteworthy loss of share for the Canal. Moderately small twelve-monthly escalations in Canal tolls may allow the Canal to retain its marketplace share even in the long run, on the other hand, large annual increases will be damaging, especially in the long run, as the tolls accrue year over year. The marketplace segments that control the Canal container traffic are quite sensitive to Canal tolls, and therefore a raise in Canal tolls would outcome in a noteworthy loss of share for the Canal. Moderately small yearly increases in Canal tolls may permit the Canal to recollect its marketplace share even in the long run, nevertheless, large twelve-monthly increases will be harmful, particularly in the long run, as the tolls gather year over year.
Costs and Benefits

Dredging the Port of Miami Dredging refers to the activity needed to be conducted for removal of unwanted deposits present in water pathways. However, even though this activity facilitates marine traffic regularity, it isn't without its drawbacks[footnoteRef:2]. Dredging poses a great threat to the aquatic environment, and should be carried out very carefully, facilitated only using the assistance of the appropriate dredges and dredgers. As a port for international cargo, the
Mexico faces an array of drug-related problems ranging from production and transshipment of illicit drugs to corruption, violence, and increased internal drug abuse. Powerful and well-organized Mexican organizations control drug production and trafficking in and through Mexico, as well as the laundering of drug proceeds. These organizations also have made a concerted effort to corrupt and intimidate Mexican law enforcement and public officials. In addition, the geographic proximity of
The Big Dig continues to be a source of safety concern, particularly regarding the structural integrity of the concrete ceiling panels. Undoubtedly, this issue has some Bostonians looking up as they drive through the tunnels. However, the ceiling collapse also brought attention to the problem. Although not much was reported about future actions, this would have reasonably triggered an inspection of other parts of the tunnel. Officials are confident about

Ocean Village is UK-based and is uses the differentiated experience of offering families the opportunity to define their own cruise itinerary (Kwortnik, 2006). There is freedom as to when passengers will eat, what they choose to participate in, and the concept focuses on breaking out of the mold of highly predictable and regimented cruise programs. The two remaining brands, P&O Cruises Australia and the Yachts of Seabourn, each have
