...Dubai World Center Airport Operations Management Name: Institution: ABSTRACT Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates, it has been a center for remarkable growth and development over the years. It currently has a population of a little over 2 million citizens. The past few decades have especially witnessed a rapid growth in the city’s development projects to a ‘world-leader’ status. Primarily, Dubai is an ideal region for socio-economic and infrastructure development owing to its geographical location. The Dubai World Central (DWC) in specific is an ideal and modern aerotropolis that is centered around Al Maktoum International Airport and serves the purpose of connecting flights from most parts of the world with tactical ease. It is noteworthy to mention that Dubai’s aviation sector is responsible for 28% of the Emirate’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). 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...

In today’s rat race, it has become imperative for each nation to compete with other for their share of the world’s consumers, business, investment, attention, tourists and position. For each country, the cities play a significant role in international competition for funds, fame and talent. The prosperity of an entire economy is at stake, and how effectively the city manages to succeed or fall depends on how effectively it communicates and brands itself. The nations focus on marketing their cities as a distinctive place and communicate about the place with help of media resources.

Disney has such a worldwide known brand that expansion into other countries will only help to continue to capitalize on that brand. The tourism industry in Dubai is currently predicted to become one of the fastest evolving markets in the industry. (Government of Dubai) With the expansion coming to the area for tourism it would a smart business move for Disney to open a park in the upcoming Dubai Parks and Resorts complex. This complex is set to open in 2016. The complex will be home to multiple themed experiences, shopping, dining and will have a destination hotel themed to represent the Polynesian atmosphere. (Sahoo) Building a resort and park in this area would be the best way to enter the market. Before entering the market, Dubai as a whole will need to be analyzed on the best way to operate and conduct business in the area, in order for Disney to be successful. The key elements that must be studied are Dubai’s culture, economic environment and political environment. Dubai is considered to be the least strict of the United Arab Emirates. However, Islamic law does play a huge role in the day to day life in the area. The Islam religion...

...attractiveness, the capabilities and resources you can call on, and whether your organization has a strategic orientation for competing or for innovating. Diversified companies should be comfortable using both approaches. • Whichever type of strategy is chosen, success will depend on creating an aligned set of strategy propositions targeted at three different sets of stakeholders: buyers, shareholders, and the people working for or with the organization. • Where the approaches diverge is in the nature of their proper alignment. Structuralist strategies require that all propositions focus on delivering either low cost or differentiation. Reconstructionist strategy propositions aim to deliver both, as exemplified by the cases of the city-state of Dubai, Apple’s iTunes, and the charity Comic Relief. When executives develop corporate strategy, they nearly always begin by analyzing the industry or environmental conditions in which they operate. They then assess the strengths and weaknesses of the players they are up against. With these industry and competitive analyses in mind, they set out to carve a distinctive strategic position where they can outperform their rivals by building a competitive advantage. To obtain such advantage, a company generally chooses either to differentiate itself from the competition for a premium price or to pursue low costs. The organization aligns its value chain accordingly, creating manufacturing, marketing, and human resource strategies in the process. On...

...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...

IMPORTANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES 5. SMEs ROLE IN THE ECONOMY 6. PROBLEMS TO SMEs 7. BARRIERS TO SMEs 8. CONCLUSION 9. REFERENSING INTRODUCTION 1.1 DEFINATION The small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have got very few resources, opportunities or turnover which is upto a certain extent. The definations of SMEs are flexible. This is variable from person to person. There are many people who use the word SME for those firms who have less than 500 employees, whereas some use this word for those businesses that have more than 500 workforces. However, some use the word “Big Businesses” for the organizations that have more than 500 employees. If we look at the middle east, it can be easy to see that there are numerous differences in which a regional can be taken into an account. It is also widely understood that the SMEs are the very important part of the economic fabric and they also play a major role in the growth of the economy. In most of the economies the SMEs represents an employment of around 60% to 70% and the GDP of more than 50%. In Abu Dhabi they represent almost 25% of all the private organizations. 1.2 DUBAI SME: Founded In 2002, the department of economic Development (DED) was being created as an combined...

...Al Ain Dairy: market expansion Melodena Stephens Balakrishnan Melodena Stephens Balakrishnan is an Associate Professor (Marketing) in the Faculty of Business and Management, University of Wollongong in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. hashi Kumar Menon, the chief operating officer of Al Ain Dairy was at their launch of the new product Long Life Juice in Dubai on 16 July 2010. To a room full of media and interested stakeholders, he explained the company’s upcoming six month plan. Al Ain Diary was UAE’s largest dairy company by market share but now wanted to replicate their success in dairy in both the regional market and the fruit juice market. There were challenges: increasing production capabilities; product innovation (increasing shelf life); the supply chain management (dairy especially needs to be transported at a 48C condition and there is a need for access to a steady supply of fodder); and brand building in newer markets. Shashi needs to prioritise what new products they want to move into (options include related lines like cheese); assets they need to acquire (manufacturing); and what future skills they need to develop to meet the regional challenge. There is a three to four year time frame to prioritise these objectives as the markets are still in recession. Shashi says about their vision for the future: S We are very much a local company and would like to be seen as regional at least in the Khaleej [GCC Countries], if not beyond ....

...territories like North America and Europe. The history and origins of the Emirates airlines are highlighted as this paper outlines the business strategy that has propelled the carrier to international stardom. Also articulated from the research is the ambitious expansion that has European rivals worried and in some cases like Canada, the government stepping in to protect local carriers. The paper concludes by examining the viability of the carrier maintaining the growth and profitability curve and the expected rebound from regional carriers who seem to be currently languishing in losses as Emirates takes over their skies. Competitive Dynamics in Emirates Airlines Quest for Global Expansion The year was 1985; the place is Dubai, a sleepy gulf trade center and a small part of the seven Emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. With two leased aircrafts from Pakistan airlines, Emirates was born out of Dubai's airport desperate situation of being shunned by regional...

...Case #3 1. What factors contributed to EuroDisney’s poor performance during its first year of operation? What factors contributed to Hong Kong Disney’s poor performance during its first year? The biggest factors that contributed to EuroDisney’s poor performance during its first year of operation were: a poor understanding of the marketplace, the cultural differences between the two countries, and the different approaches to business and life. One major factor was the ethnocentrism, or the viewing of a foreign culture through the lens of your own culture, displayed by American leaders offset by French national insecurities. But, the problems spanned beyond arrogant leadership. Disney assumed people would travel from all over the Europe to visit the park, but really did not cater to the diversity of the guests. Even though the countries are united as the European Union, they are distinct and sovereign culturally. Put simply, EuroDisney was marketed poorly. Disney built, promoted, and communicated EuroDisney as a piece of America in Europe. Cultural differences were neglected. In the case, we see that Fresh culture also has its own cartoon characters such as Asterix, who has a theme park not far from EuroDisney. Furthermore, Disney banned alcohol in a culture that has a deep appreciation for wine. Disney failed to understand French national character, their insecurities over cultural invasion, and their deep commitment to maintaining their identity. Hong Kong Disney faces...
