Additionally, it is a source of employment for numerous local and international personnel (IBP, Inc., 2014). Dubai is one out of seven Arab Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is quite unfortunate that only little is known of its historic development since the culture of initial inhabitants did not focus on documenting happenings. Nonetheless, the area covered by the UAE has been occupied by people of Arab descent for thousands of years that have past. This is mostly because it served as a major trading area that connected the East and the West during prehistoric times (Ramos, 2012). By the inception of the 20th...

Free trade area all barriers to the trade of goods and services among members determine their own barriers (called trade policy) if any with regard to non-members (most popular) Examples include: Australia/Japan agreement 2. Customs union eliminates trade barriers between member countries and adopts a common external trade policy a. E.g. Andean Pact 3. Common market no barriers to trade between member countries, a common external trade policy and the free movement of the factors of production. This can be difficult to achieve and requires significant harmony among members in fiscal, monetary and employment policies. b. E.g. MERCOSUR (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) to achieve this status 4. Economic union involves the free flow of products and factors of production between members, the adoption of a common external trade policy, and in addition, a common currency, harmonization of the member countries’ tax rates, and a common monetary and fiscal policy. This involves sacrificing a significant amount of national sovereignty c. E.g. European Union 5. Political union independent states are combined into a single union. This requires tat a central political apparatus coordinate economic, social and foreign policy for member states. E.g. Australia and...

The trade stimulation effects intended by means of economic integration are part of the contemporary economic Theory of the Second Best: where, in theory, the best option is free trade, with free competition and no trade barriers whatsoever. Free trade is treated as an idealistic option, and although realized within certain developed states, economic integration has been thought of as the "second best" option for global trade where barriers to full free trade exist. In economics the word integration was first employed in industrial organisation...

Changing its approach of the previous years, the Advisory Board has adopted a significantly longer term focus, based on questions like What changes can we expect in the coming 7 – 10 years?, Which managerial competenties will become increasingly important?

The report ‘Agent of change, the future of technology disruption in business’ counts as one of these influential sources; an investigation led by the Economist Intelligence Unit (2012). Based on interviews with nearly 600 international executives (profit and non-profit) the report portrays the following outlook for the future: - By 2020 corporate industries will look drastically different.

...Functionalism, strain and Subcultural theories Durkheim’s functionalist theory Functionalism – society based on value consensus. Members of society sharing common culture. In order to achieve this, two things needed: - Socialisation – helps ensure individuals share the same norms and values. Shows the way to act. - Social control – rewards for conformity and punishment for deviance. Controls behaviour. Inevitability of crime – functionalists see crime as inevitable and universal. Every society has crime. Two reasons why crime and deviance are in all societies: - No everyone is equally socialized into norms and values. Some are likely to be deviant. - Diversity of lifestyle and values. Different groups have their own subcultures with distinctive norms and values. Some may see deviant acts as normal. > Durkheim says in modern societies there is tendency towards anomie. The rules for behaviour become weaker and less clear-cut. This is because modern societies have a complex division of labour meaning individuals become more different from each other. Crime is more likely. Positive functions of crime – it also performs two positive functions Boundary maintenance - produces a reaction from society, uniting members in disapproval of criminals and reinforcing their commitment to shared norms and values. Adaptation and change – all change starts with an act of deviance. There must be scope to challenge existing norms and values and this will seem deviant in the...

This Research paper was conducted independently without any funding support nor groupwork;all correspondences should be addressed to josephlaila86@gmail.com.

...past decade. In 1999 49.4% of the population was male but this figure had decreased to 47.7% by 2009 ( The Census and Statistics Department ). As a practical matter, these trends stand to complicate the prospect of maintaining rapid economic growth- perhaps severely ( Eberstadt 2007 ). Economically, Hong Kong is still a major financial centre and a leading gateway into China. However, Hong Kong’s economic interaction with the Chinese mainland has grown deeper and broader over the last 10 years, increasing the city’s economic connections with China ( Martin 2007 ). Current economic and trade dynamics have raised concerns that Hong Kong’s relationship with China will shift in the long run from one of synergy to full intergration, possibly undermining the HKSAR’s “high degree of autonomy”. There has been a decline in Hong Kong’s expatriate community, also there is a perception that Hong Kong’s “middle class” is disappearing. Underlying many of these social and cultural trends is a redefinition of Hong Kong by its residents, indicating a closer identification with China ( Martin 2007 ). The disappearance “ of the Western “ex-pats” and the arrival of more mainland Chinese has had...
