...Global Business Cultural Analysis: United Arab Emirates Busi 604 International Business December 13, 2013 Abstract Over the past forty years, the United Arab Emirates has been developing their then newly formed country. They have taken advantage of the wealth that was created originally from their supply of oil and gas and have transformed themselves into a modernized society that has diversified their assets into various business ventures. The explosive growth of this organization has attracted people from all over the world and expatriates now make up ninety percent of the overall population. While there have been many companies that found themselves to be attracted to the business opportunities there, there are several questions that need to be answered to understand their culture and to ultimately determine the attractiveness of doing business in the United Arab Emirates: 1. What are the major elements and dimensions of culture in the United Arab Emirates? 2. How are these elements and dimensions integrated by locals conducting business in the United Arab Emirates? 3. How do both of the above items compare with US culture and business? 4. What are the implications for US businesses that wish to conduct business in the United Arab Emirates? This global business cultural analysis on the United Arab Emirates will focus on these four questions and we will take an in depth look...

...dubaiThe current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1753-8335.htm JPMD 1,1 Dubai – a star in the east A case study in strategic destination branding Melodena Stephens Balakrishnan University of Wollongong in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Abstract Purpose – Worldwide approximately 200 national economies are competing in the destination market. In 2006, global government and capital expenditure exceeded US$1,480 billion making destination branding an important concept that still remains fragmented and unplanned. Dubai, an emirate of the UAE in the Middle East has been chosen as a case study to explain some elements of successful destination branding. This paper aims to apply a framework developed by Balakrishnan to explain areas of caution when competing in an international market where success is also partially dependent on the macro-environment. Design/methodology/approach – The framework was developed by reviewing literature on destination, place, corporate, product portfolio and service branding. The framework was tested using case study methodology. Secondary research was primarily used to develop the case. Findings – There is a strong fit with the model suggesting that destinations can use this as a basis for continuity in strategy even as governments change. Based on the analysis and review; a checklist for destination branding strategy was recommended. Research limitations/implications – Since, this study depends...

...Oil Economies and Globalization: The Case of the GCC Countries Yousif Khalifa Al-Yousif Email: subhanah@emirates.net.ae Key Words: Oil, GCC Countries, Gulf JEL codes: G18, Q32, O47 Introduction Over the past 50 years, world trade has increased at a faster rate than world output. Between 1948 and 1999, merchandise exports grew by 6% in real terms, compared to an annual average output growth of 3.7% (World Trade Organization, 1998: 33-36). This means that today, the countries depend more on trade than they had following World War II. In other words, the world economy is becoming more integrated and more globalized. So, what forces have been driving this phenomenon? Is globalization a positive force in the economic development of the third world countries? Does globalizations have any downsides and if so, how can the world community deal with the downsides? What are the challenges and opportunities with which globalization presents the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies? How can these countries harness the winds of globalization in ways that help them realize their development goals? The answers to these questions will provide a better understanding of globalization and its economic implications for the GCC economics and the rest of the world. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. First, there is a brief discussion of the major forces behind the increasing globalization of the world economy in recent decades as well as the alternative views of the implications...

...1. Executive Summary As the word metaphor is all about finding similarity and meaning in two or more things that are not actually related to each other, often members of organizations based on the picture that is created in their minds associates and recognize organization to metaphors. The organizational culture and communication system determines the perception of the metaphors in the organization. Our research was carried out in the Dubai branch of XYZ Company, a Swedish telecommunication company, to provide an analysis of the organization by observing it from two metaphoric perspectives: the cultural and the political. Organizational culture encompasses values and believes of the founder and is reflected in the structure, the practices and procedures of the organization, determining the working atmosphere and behaviors of its employees. Through our research we tried to discover how the members of the organization perceive and portray their commitment in association to XYZ’s culture; its influence on decision making process and progress of the organization. Through the political metaphor, we view organizations as often formed and administered similarly to political systems, which can be run like autocracies, bureaucracies, democracies or a mixture of these. Within them, individuals and groups manage situations, personal or group interests through the use of negotiations, power and politics. They operate based on network of alliances just like in political systems...

Next, I would like to thank my dear family for their generous, unwavering support and encouragement. Finally, I would like to thank the Student International Discussion Group and the Environmental Internship Fund at the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University for funding my research. -2- ABSTRACT In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is building three colossal artificial islands— each in the shape of a palm tree—in the Arabian Gulf. This has prompted several other Gulf countries to construct artificial islands. To determine the impacts of the first of these Palm Islands, The Palm Jumeirah, I traveled to Dubai and interviewed governmental agencies, environmental groups, and the developer’s environmental scientists. I analyzed the island’s impacts on marine wildlife as well as the developer’s mitigation efforts and the developer’s compliance with the relevant environmental laws. The Palm Jumeirah has buried and asphyxiated wildlife, increased turbidity, and changed...

...9 -7 1 4 -4 3 2 JANUARY 29, 2014 JUAN ALCÁCER JOHN CLAYTON Emirates Airline: Connecting the Unconnected Introduction Late afternoon was fading to dusk as Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, gazed out at the large crowds mingling outside at the 2013 Dubai Airshow. Front and center at the event was the official program launch of the Boeing 777X, a massive new hit thanks to Emirates’ record order of 150 new planes. Valued at $76 billion at list prices, this was the largest airplane deal ever inked. Letting his thoughts drift, he noted, he imagined with pride these planes joining the collection of widebodied Emirates planes assembled on the tarmac of Dubai International Airport, ready to ferry passengers from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas and the Gulf to their respective destinations. This is the face of the global economy, he thought to himself, as he marveled at his company’s success. Emirates was indeed a global success story. In just twenty-five years the airline had grown to become the third-largest airline globally by capacity and the largest by number of international passengers.1 (See Exhibit 1). Twenty-three new routes were added in 2012 and 2013,2 and capacity growth was expected to increase by 18.4% in 2013 thanks to deliveries of new aircraft, including the new A380s deployed to over 20 destinations.3 Emirates anticipated that its meteoric growth would continue and was building its fleet accordingly: with 41 A380s integrated into its fleet thus far...

Meanwhile, for the data collection, the documentary approach was applied. As a retailer, H&M does not follow the standard pattern of establishment chain presented in the Uppsala model. Its establishment chain is composed of three stages: franchising, wholly owned sales subsidiaries and production offices. The company has developed strong macro-position within the clothes industry network and strong bonds with its external suppliers. The expansion decisions of H&M have been influenced by the factors included in the psychic distance concept.
