Technology and Project Management the Energy Crisis

Technology and Project Management The Energy Crisis As the global demand for energy increases at an exponentially growing rate, the price for these resources also climbs. In many Western Countries the price of gasoline and other fuels is often subsidized which artificially suppresses the market price. This in turn also suppresses the development of alternative fuels by making them less price competitive in the market. Therefore, one step that could be undertaken is to begin to alleviate the fuel subsidies on items such as coal and gasoline.

This would increase efficiency while also making investments into newer technologies more appealing for investors and end users alike. On an individual level, people could focus on shrinking their fuel consumption by using public transportation when possible, weatherizing their houses, buying local products, and biking to commute as much as possible. Globalization and the Environment One problem that seems to be evident locally is the lack of community involvement in recycling programs. While some people do recycle, there are many more that could participate in these programs.

If there was greater participation then the amount of trash that ends up in landfills would be reduced and the recycled materials could also reduce the need to use more natural resources in production. To engage more people in the local community to participate in these programs a community outreach strategy could be developed and people could be educated about the programs available and volunteers could even help get individuals and families started in the process. Buxton Hall The Buxton Hall project was successful.

Although there were compromises on the scope of the project, such as the reconditioning of some of the exterior walls, the project was successful in terms of its schedule and budget which were more important than achieving top quality in this case. The best practice that allowed for the successful completion of the project was likely the way the team handled compromises. Although the team did experience some conflict, they were able to make compromises to keep the project moving along.
