Saudi Sectors 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. Analytical Studies for Saudi

team needs to complete the following studies:
