II. The Theory of Species Evolution

The concepts and biological terms of evolutionary theory which have parallels in the business sector

  Biological Term Business Term Tourism Term
  Species Product Tourist Area / Destination
  Variation Product Differences Destination Differences
  Overpopulation / Overcapacity Excessive Competition between Products   Excessive Competition between Destinations  
  Struggle for Existence Struggle for Existence Struggle for Existence
  Survival of the Fittest Survival of the Fittest Survival of the Fittest
  Survival Success / Growth Success / Growth

III. Punctuated Equilibrium model

The punctuated equilibrium change paradigm proposes that systems remain relatively stable for prolonged periods (equilibrium) with rapid revolutionary change occurring periodically (punctuations).

IV. Chaos Theory

Chaos theory considers dynamical systems that are not predictable. At high levels of complexity it is not possible to distinguish randomness from order.
