Competitive Advantage of nations has been the outcome of 4 interlinked advanced factors: Factor conditions, Related & supporting industry, Firm strategy and rivalry and Demand conditions.

...Saud as his crown prince. After his death, King Saud becomes the king of Saudi Arabia and he is followed by his younger brother king Faisal, then king Khlid who is followed by king Fahad. King Abdullah is the following king and he is the current king of Saudi Arabia In this essay I will compare and contrast between Saudi Arabia during king Fahad rule and his brother king Abdullah the current king of Saudi Arabia. There are many arguments about who ruled Saudi Arabia better. In my point of view, I believe that Saudi Arabia is better during King Abdullah rule for several reasons. The most apparent reason is that Saudi Arabia is clearly improved and flourished during the period of king Abdullah rule especially in the education field and the urban development as well as the medicine and the health. Education is one of the biggest things that went through different stages in Saudi Arabia. The apparent change regarding education is the increased number of schools in Saudi Arabia. Both king Fahad and king Abdullah were interested in learning and education. Both of them did his best to spread education among Saudi Arabia. Like many other countries and during king Fahad rule, the number of schools in Saudi Arabia was less than the number of schools during king Abdullah rule. In the past during king Fahad rule there were only about 12000 schools around Saudi Arabia, but now king Abdullah has increased this number to be 35000 schools in Saudi Arabia. He decided to establish at least one...

...A day in Seguela The blue helmet peacekeeper was not in his usual fatigue and bullet proof jacket today. He was taking his time off, enjoying the sunshine and long drive to Seguela a small town in the north of Cote d’Ivoire under control of the rebels. He started his journey late in the morning from Daloa. It’s a government held town almost in the centre of the war ravaged country. Busy as it could be. He hated rushing people, crowds and smog. As he slipped in to the leather slipper and came out of his room very early in the morning in his blue faded denim and sky blue half shirt, inhaled deeply the fresh and unpolluted air from last night’s heavy rain. The prospect of serene and tranquil Seguela curved a thin smile on his lips. By the hour the heat, the smog and the crowd will make it worse to stay in the bustling town. He felt the urge to flee as far as he could. Not until late in the morning he did so. Their convoy of three vehicles stopped at the market place in Vabua, an hour drive from Daloa to the north. Shahed was following his friend from the Engineers who was on the way to inspect the newly established camp location in Seguela. He has all the time till the evening to devour the countryside, breathe the fresh air and wonder at lush green. He even did not mind to opportunity shopping in this market place. Vabua market place is like a beehive made of thousand shanties, arrayed in ranks and files like the soldiers stand in the parade. Nearly dark narrow...

...1. Possible solutions that Ellen faced a) Take the Customer Services position: • Strength: By accepting the Customer Service position, she is taking her career to a new level. With new challenges to face, more responsibilities to meet and huge number of employees to manage which she has proven herself to have the skills and qualifications in this new role. It could be an option to take her career further and even could be a role model for women in this country that want to be in management position. • Weakness: By accepting this position, she is sending the message that she is accepting the discrimination that she experienced. She would be compromising her values, which is probably painful for her as an educated American woman, because her true personality has been violated. b) Fight Back: • Strength: Fighting back can help Ellen remain her true personality. By seeking help from Senior Vice-president, Ellen may persuade the SVP to stand by her side, get the position that she dreamed of. Another way to do it is to try her chances in the Bahraini Labor Tribunals, if she wins the case in the tribunal, it will help her change the women' unequal rights in the company or even to be a role model for women in the Bahraini society. • Weakness: Stepping over the general manager and reaching the Senior Vice-President to solve the issue might affect her relationship with the general manager who trusted her and nominated her for senior management position. This may result in serious...

...On The Development of Comprehensive Information Security Policies for Organizations The article selected for review is titled, “On the Development of Comprehensive Information Security Policies for Organizations.” The article is from the International Journal of Academic Research; the authors are Fahad T. Bin Muhaya, Fazl-e-Hadi, and Abid Ali Minhas. The article offers guidelines on the development of information security policies for organizations based on a proposed framework. The introduction of the article emphases the importance of protecting information, “Information security failures have gradually damage many progressing organizations; ruining its repute, reducing customer trust and ultimately lose its market share.” I believe is this a very strong introductory statement. The introduction of the article also implies that a new form of terroristic attacks may come from breaching organizations and accessing sensitive information. The authors further suggest that information security comprises of three elements which are human, organizational, and technological vulnerabilities. The article objective is clearly stated as a tool on how to develop or improve information security. The development approach when viewing an organizational structure is defined in the article as threats versus defense. The article identifies security policy issues at the environment, application, cryptography, network, and physical layers. This is a simple definition but I feel that viewing...
