dc.description.abstract | Applications of remote sensing satellite have grown wider and wider. In 60s’, remote sensing satellite was only utilized for military purpose. However, as time goes by, it has gained its popularity and is applied in general aspects, such as resource investigation, ocean exploration, weather forecast, and disaster prevention. With the rapid development of technology, the resolution of remote sensing satellite has improved. Besides, the invention of radar satellite repaired the shortcomings of optical remote satellite. Remote sensing satellite, as a result, has begun to be adopted in urban planning, drafting, and even archaeology.
The history of remote sensing satellite can be traced back to 50 years ago since its development reflects the power of a nation. Initially, only super powers like United State and Russia got involved in its research. Not until late 70s’ did India and European countries participate in the researches related. In 90s’, many countries in the world took part in the competition of remote sensing satellite development, which led to the later commercialization. Remote sensing satellite used to serve as military secrets. Except for political and military decision making, it was uncommon in business for its costly price. Nevertheless, owing to the commercialization of images nowadays, it is much easier to get images in more inexpensive ways. Thus, this thesis aims to inspire CEOs to make good use of remote sensing satellite.
Remote sensing satellite is one of the information sources, superior in its concrete demonstration—“To see is to believe”—and aerial view—“overlook from the high above.” As far as executive managers are concerned, they can better control the whole situation through remote sensing satellite. After the investigation of this thesis, discoveries are as follow: (1)the explanation of the images remote sensing satellite influences the comprehension of policy-makers. Remote sensing satellite facilitates to reduce the time spent on decision making. (2)Remote sensing satellite has a powerful effect on media propaganda. In certain respect, the commercialization of remote sensing satellite would affect the national security. (3)The information remote sensing satellite offers functions as a crucial basis of decision making. But not all policies based on such information are right. Other information resources are required to be integrated and carefully examined, so that the rate of error can be lowered.
The significance of strategic management is to make the most efficient distribution of the limited resources, while remote sensing satellite is one of the information sources that assist the policy-makers to do resource management. Meanwhile, the importance of remote sensing satellite is irreplaceable for it provides unique information. | en_US |
