[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: VDM Verlag Dr. Müller], In Cruising's ten million-passenger plus, multi-billion dollar, transnational world, ships entering the market must woo the public imagination in order to compete. Ships that do so, become legends. What do they possess that others don't? A Grounded Theory Approach, Delphi Exercise, and worldwide electronic survey are used to create a model and identify legendary ships. Factor Analysis distills identified tangible and intangible properties into four composite factors of Attractiveness, Significance, Power, & Competitive Advantage.
