Tourism is one such field and its practitioners have had and continue to have an influence on its development. It is particularly notable that tourism managers and operators have typically not undertaken university education or been exposed to research cultures.

Technical publications (examples for the chemical industry are shown in Figure 5.5) should be available and read by employees within the company who have an impact on business decisions so they know what is going on in the marketplace.

In the Chemical Market Reporter, the chemical profile gives specific information about a chemical. The information includes a producer, which includes a supplier, plant location, and capacity. Other areas discussed are demand, growth, price, uses, strength, weakness, and outlook. All of this information can be very useful as a company evaluates a material and supplier.
