What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Knowledge Management Best Practices in Services Industries
The ability to stay on in step with customers' rapidly changing needs is only possible when a company completely commits itself to transforming data into information, while also capturing and using tacit and implicit knowledge. As this analysis will illustrate, data, information and knowledge are multifaceted and have many implications across the lifecycle of a business in general and customers specifically. Concentrating on how the data pertaining to customers can be optimized, this analysis concentrates on the Service Quality (SERVQUAL) methodology and metrics. SERVQUAL measures five dimensions of the customer experience including reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, Berry, 1985). While the scope of this analysis concentrates on SERVQUAL from the standpoint of capturing data, information and knowledge from a customer standpoint, there are many ancillary implications that also apply to the knowledge-based theory of firms as well. The use of SERVQUAL-based intelligence in a company can fuel even greater strides in the effectiveness of the entire value chain. From this standpoint, SERVQUAL can fuel significant change that is predicated on the knowledge-based theory of firms. Leadership in 21rst century needs to be dictated by the effective use of knowledge-based assets over physical ones, as growth is predicated on how well a company interprets its environments and reacts to it (Singh, 2008).

Sustainable Tourism in an Increasingly Globalized World
Ecotourism can help promote sustainable development, especially in developing regions, just as long as its practices do not endanger the livelihood of the local people. Creating a set of benefits directly linked to sustainable tourism within the community, like poverty alleviation and increased economic stability, will also help increase a community's devotion to sustainable and eco-friendly practices. This, in turn, will help increase the power and potential of conservation in such regions, when they otherwise may have been exploited to the point of possible depletion, leaving the people of these communities unable to make a living entirely.
