Circus Logistics

Read about circus logistics. One sample article is here: https://host.kelley.iu.edu/mabert/recent_pubs/pim_2010_no1.pdf (Links to an external site.). This was a massive 
accomplishment in the 1900s. Most processes were person dependent and there was no technology. The system worked since the people involved were less likely to leave their jobs. And, the people were less likely to leave their jobs because of lack of alternative opportunity and also because of the dominant societal cultural norm of continuing in the same job. We have three changes in the current era (1) availability of alternative employment (2) decline of societal norm fostering continuing in one job and (3) availability of technology. Given these changes, if these massive circuses existed in the USA today, how would you design the logistics systems for a circus in the USA? Ensure that the design is acceptable to the current cultural norms in the USA. 

Select one of the non-US countries mentioned in the culture map article (Links to an external site.). How would the logistics design change for that country?

Format of the paper

1. Select any one of the logistics principle mentioned in the article and explain in detail how that principle was adhered to by the circuses in 1900s. You are expected to provide more details and explanation than what is provided in the article. 

2. Explain how you would execute that principle in the current era based on the new technologies and new level of awareness. You can use references for any travelling activities like sports (Football, Formual 1, etc.) or music shows for this. 

3. Read the culture map article and then explain how to enable the execution described in part 2 in the USA based on the cultural requirements. You are expected to look for additional references besides the culture map article.  

4. Select another non-USA country mentioned in the culture map article. Describe how you would enable the execution described in part 2 in this non-USA country based on the cultural requirements. You are expected to look for additional references besides the culture map article.

Please provide in-line references for the claims you make. Include all the references at the end. References are not a part of the word count.
