Have a lovely beginning of June. Today it is my birthday. It is a blessing to be alive for another year, and I am so grateful for the miracle of life.

First of all, my apologies for not publishing last Friday. I was sick. I got a virus or bacteria, with the same symptoms of an Influenza H1N1 type A. I have no idea what exactly it was, but I was certainly not well. I was forced to rest for several consecutive days, and it wasn´t until this Monday that I felt recovered enough to continue our research activities.

A good CVP is an art, and we expect very much that you can learn with us at the end of this journey.
Given the sails of our investigations for example number 5, we have decided to publish 7 episodes in total, to cover all the main topics that must be considered to produce a safe and sound Customer Value Proposition. It is not just the commercial side of the business model, but more than that. Today is all about understanding the shipping markets and the shipping cycles.

Our outline has been modified.
This saga has been changed. We have created a new timeline, and we will stick to it until August 9th. Find the new outline from slides 3 to 6. We truly hope to keep the pace and finish all our material by then. Additionally, we want to reassure you that this state-of-the-art material is being released free of charge. We publish without any commercial interest of any kind, and it is merely produced for educational purposes to educators, or to make an impact on other professors (from other fields outside of business administration-economics), students, professionals, decision-makers, strategic counselors, and specialists who are trying to find solutions to our world’s most complex troubles. Some of my readers belong to international cooperation entities, and I am thankful for their time. In our quest to make this world a better place. We certainly believe that our current corporate and business strategy frameworks need certain adjustments if we wish to fix the foundations of business modeling, which are in a state of imbalance.

We try to keep our most rigorous academic filters, without losing the style of instruction for everyone who attempts to follow us. We have tried to find the top academic connoisseurs in shipping, and we are honored to give them credit for their work. As a state-of-the-art corporate strategist, this website is a site for future generations, a place of strategic reflections, and a legacy for those who wish to comprehend the beauty of putting the love of God in all our endeavors. Including business modeling, and the design of CVPs.

Shipping Markets and Shipping Cycles.
Let´s proceed to share our educational production about the premises of the shipping markets and the basics of the shipping cycles. The global maritime industry as a whole can´t be studied without understanding all these topics. Feel free to share, download, and print the following document. We encourage you to read it while visiting all the sources of reference that we have shared at the end of our slides. Next week we will continue with the cost structure analysis.

Special attention for your reading are slides 31 to 37.

Every single schism of our world is linked to the way we use the sea”

Announcement.
The complexity of this case is tied to many factors that we need to consider before making our CVP. This is the fourth consecutive publication about the global maritime industry. It is not an easy task. But we are trying to simplify and connect the dots of all the previous elements to consider when we build CVPs for legacy projects of this behemoth impact. We have clarified that we will need a total of 7 episodes to finish this example. We will remain in the elaboration of example 5 until we are satisfied with our teaching-learning experience. See you next Friday 14th of June.

Musical Section.
This saga is about improvement, amelioration, upgrading, and the advancement required in the theory and practice of value propositions. Example number 5 will take more time than needed, but it will be worthwhile. Value propositions are the first step in our business modeling frameworks. If the value proposition is improper, then our business model is mistaken.

Aujourd´hui we discovered the musical production of Composer Heinrich Baermann (1784-1847) who is counted “among the most famous and influential clarinet players of music history”. Baermann became an inspiration for several other composers such as Carl Maria von Weber, Giacomo Meyerbeer, and Felix Mendelssohn. The interpreters of these three substantial Clarinet Quintets are Henk de Graaf (solo clarinet) & Schubert Consort Netherlands, featuring Elisabeth Perry (violin), Itamar Shimon (violin), Richard Wolfe (viola) and Wladislav Warenberg (cello).
