  • Coordination Failure and the Sinking of Titanic
    The Sinking of the Unsinkable Titanic: Mental Inertia and Coordination Failures Fu-Lai Tony Yu Department of Economics and Finance Hong Kong Shue Yan University Abstract This study investigates the sinking of the Titanic from the theory of human agency derived from Austrian economics, interpretation sociology and organizational theories. Unlike most arguments in organizational and management sciences, this study offers a subjectivist perspective of mental inertia to understand the Titanic disaster. Specifically, this study will argue that the fall of the Titanic was mainly due to a series of coordination and judgment failures that occurred simultaneously. Such systematic failures were manifested in the misinterpretations of the incoming events, as a result of mental inertia, by all parties concerned in the fatal accident, including lookouts, telegram officers, the Captain, lifeboat crewmen, architects, engineers, senior management people and owners of the ship. This study concludes that no matter how successful the past is, we should not take experience for granted entirely. Given the uncertain future, high alertness to potential dangers and crises will allow us to avoid iceberg mines in the sea and arrived onshore safely. Keywords: The R.M.S. Titanic; Maritime disaster; Coordination failure; Mental inertia; Judgmental error; Austrian and organizational economics 1. The Titanic Disaster So this is the ship they say is unsinkable. It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship. From Butler (1998: 39) [The] Titanic… will stand as a monument and warning to human presumption.

He went down with his ship. Second Officer Lightoller. Lookout Fred Fleet. The crew consisted of stewards, cooks, cleaners, waiters, etc.; 320 engineers, and 65 engaged in navigation – altogether there were 913 crew members. The Titanic could carry more than three thousand people on board, but for its maiden voyage, 2,229 people were on the ship. First Class: 325 (* These numbers may not Second Class : 285 be exact, as there are conflicting reports of Third Class : 706 numbers of survivors and Crew : 913 passenger numbers) The different classes did not mix on the ship – the First Class passengers were on the top decks; the Second Class on the middle decks; the Third Class further down. White Star realised that they could make a lot of money from Third Class passengers. (Third Class was also known as ‘Steerage’.) Other ships at the time did not provide comfortable living quarters for Third Class passengers, but by providing comfortable accommodation on the Titanic, White Star believed that it would be recommended to friends and family who would join those who had already emigrated. First Class passengers could swim in the pool, work out in the gymnasium, play squash, have a Turkish bath, or tan themselves on sunbeds.

  • Wizard English Training Center Titanic
    WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER TITANIC CHAPTER ONE Under the sea It was 1 September 1985. Under a ship in the North Atlantic, a camera moved through the dark water. Slowly, the camera went down - 1,000 metres, 2,000 metres, 3,000 metres under the sea. On the ship, some sailors waited and watched. Nobody spoke. Then, suddenly, they saw something. 'There it is!' 'Where?' 'There - look, I can see it!' 'Yes, you're right! It's the Titanic!' With the camera, the sailors could see a ship 3,810 meters under the water. It was a very big, old ship, and it was in two halves. They could see the front half of the ship with their camera, but the back half of the ship was 800 meters away. The sailors were all very happy. They took lots of photographs. The next year they came back with more cameras. The cameras went down under the sea and looked at the ship more carefully. They went all round the ship and took hundreds of photos. Some of the cameras went into the ship too, through the windows. Later there was a film about the ship. People all over the world watched the film and saw the photographs in newspapers. But who built the Titanic? What happened to it? Why did it break in two halves, and sink to the bottom of the sea? And what about the people on this ship? What were they like, and what happened to them? This is the story of the Titanic. CHAPTER TWO The biggest ship in the world 1 WIZARD ENGLISH TRAINING CENTER More than 15,000 people built the Titanic in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
