Business Geography

Business Geography | Mr Tony's Geography Stuff | Scoop.it
Grant Thrall, Ph.D., pioneered a new field of study — business geography — at the University of Florida.

 

Business geography involves using sophisticated technologies to interpret and analyze data to help businesses make decisions.

Tony Hall's insight:

While I find business quite boring, I do understand it's necessity. I think this illustrates very nicely the relevance of studying geography and how it relates to the "real" world.

This is great fun! A little tricky at first though:)

Great site to show projection and changes in perception on maps.

This mercator puzzle was especially interesting. It illustrated how various countries look on a mercator map compared to other maps.

Cool activity / puzzle that plays with projection and shows you a comparative view of the "true" size of countries compared to others
