...and they’re difference in price. The first observation I made was that national restaurants out way international restaurants showing the preference in consumers in Jeddah that they’d rather go to a Saudi restaurant than an international one but price plays a role in this situation. There is a perfect balance between cheap and expensive Saudi restaurants showing a competitive market and by the looks of it if a restaurant wanted to open is such a market will find it difficult to compete with other restaurants and not only them but the other local restaurants that people usually go to. However most international restaurants are expensive. Mostly hotels and some high class areas serve international food therefore this puts off potential customers due to the high price, there is no middle therefore that is that gap in the market, an international restaurant that offer good quality food with a good reasonable price. A new business could establish itself there if it can only beat the fast food restaurants in Jeddah, which is another major issue as people in Jeddah love their fast food therefore their advertising must be persuasive and eye catching as to obtain as many customers and create a customer base.

...Today’s news Women to drive day in Saudi Arabia Women in Saudi Arabia took part in a protest on Friday against measures that pretty much ban them from driving. Around thirty female, would-be motorists drove their cars in various cities across the country. Their actions were part of a campaign from the Women2drive Facebook site. Manal al-Sharif, who set up the site, was arrested on May 21 and released the following day. She was rearrested after posting videos of herself on YouTube and spent a week in prison. Authorities said she was “inciting public opinion and harming the country’s reputation.” Another woman was given a traffic ticket in the capital Riyadh on Friday, but there were no arrests. Fewer women than expected decided to protest against their inability to drive. Friday’s protest was the latest in a string of incidents of Saudi women driving without a licence and then posting videos of themselves online. Maha al-Qahtani, 39, drove through Riyadh on Friday with her husband in the passenger seat. She said: “This is my basic right. It should not be a big deal. There is nothing wrong or illegal about driving.” Another woman posted a video on YouTube with the message: “All I want is to do my errands or go to work whenever I want.” Many women complain that they spend a quarter of their salary on hiring a driver to take them to and from work. There is no law against female drivers in Saudi, but women cannot get issued with a driving licence to drive in cities...

One thing that remains the same is that managers are always held responsible by their supervisors, to make sure the employees achieve their objectives with expectations. The key to a success and profitable business are neither the systems nor the strategies of the firm. It is the character and skill of individual managers, who practice what they preach are what counts, that is why hiring the right manager is essential in supervising and managing the overall performance of staff in their department (Robbins, 2001). ‘People in the organisation are your most important asset’ is an incorrect statement; because I believe the right people are the organisation’s most important asset. Therefore, companies should hire based on the correct individual’s attitude and behaviour for the company...

...Assignment 2: Title Name Professor name Campus Course Date School Sociology of Development (Saudi Arabia): You compare the Human Development (HDI) and Gender Empowerment (GEM) in your country of study. Consult with the UNDP web site at http://www.undp.org for data on your country of study. When analyzing the Human Development (HDI) and Gender Empowerment (GEM) in the country of Saudi Arabia, one will find that although in the past several years the country of Saudi Arabia has emerged in regards to overall development, there still remains to be a significant gap of progression between men and women. Through various economic and social development processes, Saudi Arabia has clearly taken a step in the right direction at promoting more or less, equal opportunities for women. These steps are carefully calculated and manifest at an extremely slow pace due to the fact the country does not want to conflict with Islamic Law, which is the doctrine that governs the country itself as well as surrounding Islamic countries. According to data compiled by the United Nations Development Progamme (UNDP), women in the Arabic world represent 2/3 of illiterates and have a higher unemployment rate than men. Just recently within the past decade or so, more women in Saudi Arabia are increasing their educational levels and this fact alone is, and has been attributing to the overall progression of human development and gender empowerment within...

...Negotiating in Saudi Arabia The differences in doing business between Saudi Arabia (or “the Kingdom”) and United States can be great, but being prepared and ready to conduct business is key to a negotiator. Many Saudi executives and government officials have studied or worked abroad in the United States therefore many are familiar with western culture and our business approaches and are comfortable using these as long as respect is shown for Saudi customs. (Business and Social Customs in Saudi Arabia) Saudi Arabians tend to be very polite and will not embarrass their guests no matter how much they like or dislike the person and this makes it hard for Americans to figure out how the negotiations are going. Islam governs everything in Saudi Arabia so the upmost respect must be shown in order to build relationships. Gift giving can be done but only if there is a strong relationship already built. Pork, pornography, alcohol, etc. should not be given as gifts as they go against their religious beliefs. In general be aware of the prayer times and religious holidays like Ramadan, as they take precedence over everything else. (Parker) When scheduling a meeting it is best to wait until you are actually in the country. You should inform your hosts of your travel plans and agenda but the setting up of actual meetings should wait. Also time is flexible so be prepared to wait. Face to face meetings are the only way to complete any negotiation. It is suggested to only have one meeting...

...Bribery is a common ethical problem in business and normal life and as the author stated in the Toronto Star article, “it is every CEO’s worst nightmare” to find his company name under a bribery scandal headline. However, this ethical problem might not be considered a problem in other countries in the world. The question that has been raised and discussed in the class, given this fact, is what should an international company do in situations in which it either bribes or loses in foreign countries? Should it accept the fact that bribery as part of the business in this country or should it maintain the same ethical standards it used to hold in its country of origin Clearly the active agent in this case is the international company. The passive agents are competitors, society and investors. There are only two choices, in my opinion, for the company; either to bribe or not to bribe. Although we discussed another choice in our class in which a company use a local agent to do all the dirty tasks, but I believe it is exactly the same as paying the bribe by itself. If we apply the utilitarianism model to analyze this situation focusing on the purpose of maximizing company’s profits, some people might not consider the company's bribes unethical activities. As long as the company’s market share is increasing and investors are gaining more money, nobody cares what the company has done to accomplish these goals. In my opinion, under the same method of analysis and only considering increasing...
