The Objectives:

 

The objectives of this program are to improve and standardize the efficiency and productivity of the industrial and business sectors in Saudi Arabia, and to enhance human resources. Typically, the research approach is to conduct a review and analysis of the current and future challenges that effect Saudi economy and companies and, based upon the analysis, to make conclusions and recommendations for improvements. These improvements will increase the efficiencies and the productivities of Saudi companies.

Today, we live in very complex and dynamic environments. The world becomes like a small village. The WTO will be a fact in Saudi Arabia. This fact will change the whole Saudi Economy. It may create new opportunities and significant challenges for most Saudi companies if not all. As a result, many companies may need to develop their market mix, their IT strategy, their finance & accounting dep., reengineer their companies, or they may need to develop their strategic management plan. These potential needs for Saudi companies could be considered as new opportunities for the Business Development and Placement Unit (BDU). In order to utilize these new opportunities, BDU needs to develop analytical studies that study and analyze Saudi industries; and study the effect of the WTO and the new Saudi Investment Law on Saudi business sectors.
