The article shows the
impact of government
policy and institutional
beliefs on developing
innovation to support
low carbon operations.
The impact of policy
and beliefs was being
assessed by applying a
framework to
government policy.
The framework
considered three key
factors to evaluate the
impact of policy.
These factors are
coherence, consistency
and continuity of

Due to a lack of

loss of connectivity
between regional and

found in the study,
deployment of human,
physical, financial and

resources should be
increased to ensure
there is productive and

The paper talks about
the significance of
government policy and
legislation concerning
urban management
and destination
management. The
authors based on its
empirical study of
three New Zealand
cities identifies that
both urban
management and
destination
management are
interlinked in broad
terms. Destination

and biophysical
contexts. For example,
a plantation activity
will require more
people hiring for its
related activities.
People hiring in this
way will create new
job opportunities for
many jobless people
or someone looking
for an exciting
opportunity. The
biophysical impact can
be observed in terms
of an increasing
number of animals
relying on these
plants. Moreover,
there will be fewer
floods in these areas.

to a huge amount of
wood. The pollution
level in the air will
improve also. An
initiative as such of
planting
empowerment is a
response to increased
focus shift of the
government towards
deforestation and its
adverse impacts.

daily lives by
impacting their daily

with different policies
and legislation. The
study found that
Australians do know
about the adversity of
obesity. They are
concerned with it and
want solutions to the
problem. They expect
their local and state
governments to take
strict actions to help
them overcome the

problem. All these
encourage the
government to identify
factors causing obesity
and bringing new
policies to control it.
Government
intervention in this
way affects
businesses, like food
companies having a
direct impact on
people's health. The
research shows that
government policy can
be welcoming for
common people;
however, not so for
businesses.
