Donna Canova is the environmental compliance manager for a small plastics manufacturing company Platicallity Inc. She is currently faced with the decision of whether or not to spend on a new technology that will reduce the level of a particular toxin in the wastewater that flows out the back of the factory and into a lake. The factory's emission levels are already within legal limits. However, Donna knows that enviromental regulatiosn for this particular toxin re laggin behind scientific evidence. In fact, a scientist from the university was quoted in the newspaper recently, saying that if emmission levels stayed at this level, the fish in the lakes and rivers in the area might soon have to be declared unfit for human consumption. Further, if companies in the region don't engage in some self-regulation on this issue, there is reason to fear that the government--backed by public opinion--may force companies to begin using the new technology and require monthly emmission level reports…
Investigations into tourist safety, security and health-related awareness have drawn the attention of the United Nation World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and allied agencies in the tourism industry. Within the Ghanaian tourism context few studies (Boakye, 2012; Poku & Boakye, 2019; Preko 2020) have identified some destinations as unsafe for both international and domestic tourists. Subsequently, the Ghana Tourism Authority has called for research to be conducted into beach and city tourism with focus on public safety, disaster prevention, political security, sense of safety, trustworthiness of tourism information among others. For example, in 2019 beach tourism supported 58,000 jobs of total national employment in 2018. In 1991, the UNWTO suggested that all nations should develop a national policy on tourist safety and risk prevention. According to the earlier empirical studies (Dolnicar, 2005; Lo et al., 2011; Tarlow & Santana, 2002; Yang et al., 2015) the risk associated…

ScenarioThe government of the island nation of Autarka has become increasingly concerned about the health and wellbeing of low-income households. Medical experts stress the importance of a healthy diet in this regard. They have determined that, ideally, a household would consume at least 5kg of fresh fruit and vegetables each week. The government has proposed implementing a new voucher scheme to ensure that the 5kg per week consumption target is met. Under the government’s proposal, the vouchers would be redeemable for fresh fruit and vegetables, but could not be used for other types of food, or for non-food consumption. Moreover, to limit the cost of the voucher scheme,the value of the vouchers sent to a household would be linked to the household’s income. Community groups in Autarka have expressed concern that a voucher scheme is unnecessarily paternalistic; depriving low-income households of the choice of how to spend their income. These groups argue that the government’s…
