Acknowledgements

Our task would have been incomplete if we had not acknowledged those who kindly aided us in completing these two edited volumes. We thank the distinguished contributors for their willingness to participate and to respond to our suggestions, and the executives, advisors, and staff of the Business Expert Press who have provided excellent support throughout the preparation of this project.

We would also like to thank the editorial offices of Social and Economic Studies (SES), for kindly permitting revised sections of the article “Boosting the Industrial Competency and Market Development of Caribbean Firms: The Challenge of the Developmental State Approach” (first published in SES vol. 62: 1&2, June 2013) to appear in chapter 2 of Volume I and Volume II, and Worldwide Hospitality and Tourism Themes (WHATT) for kindly permitting a slightly amended version of the paper “Crime, Criminal Activity and Tourism Performance: Issues from the Caribbean” (first published in WHATT vol. 4: 1, January 2012) to be included as chapter 3 in Volume II.

Last, but not the least, we would like to thank our families for their continuous encouragement and support, and our colleagues and students for the inducements. We owe them more than we can recount.
