A manager is responsible for making the most of the individual, economic, informational and material resources in ways that could assist the attainment of the overall objectives of his/her organization. However, most of the managers have a very little understanding of achieving the goals in a disordered or antagonistic environment. In addition to this, they become more challenged when faced with operational tasks that cross national boundaries (Steers et al. 2010). With the increase in globalization, change has now become synchronized with the present moment. Therefore, the organizations and their respective managements cannot be left out of this global certainty. Quite the opposite, the managers are now expected to adapt and become responsible for the inventiveness and ideas. Today, the top-management of any organization governs a significant part of change. The present globalizing trends require the managers to be involved in consistent transformations of strategies in order to succeed.

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).

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.
