First oil field was drilled in 1932, and this was sign for the commercial movement which started in Bahrain due to its geographical location. A booming economy in the Gulf region and exposure to world markets, importing from India alone was no longer satisfying the needs of the demanding consumers.

This mark has been extended on to many products, as a seal of high quality and packaging that satisfy the Bahraini consumer. Over the years, the import operations expanded, but still maintained the same old principals laid by the founder, in his style of specialization and creativity. Management of the company introduced new concepts in marketing and advertising in their promotional campaigns.

The job of every manager involves all the elements of what is known as the functions of management: planning, organizing, directing/leading, coordinating and controlling (Matthews and Scott 1995; Witzel 2003; Roney 2004). These functions are goal-directed, interrelated and interdependent with each other.

...MGMT315-1302A-01 Survey of Human Resource Management Janelle LaMaster IP 1 5/3/2013 There have been many changes within the human resources departments over the past 10 years. However, I feel the most influential area that has changed for the HR department is technology. Around the 1990’s HR departments started creating 1-800 numbers for employees to use to seek answers to their questions and make basic requests (HRPS). Overall this is a very successful method when it comes to getting employees needs met. This is because when an employee has a issue within the work force, they usually need to blow steam off immediately. If the employee is able to pick up the phone right away to get to the bottom of the problem, usually talking to someone about the situation they are in will calm that individual down to the point where the HR representative can take over the situation quickly. Another change within the HR department and dealing with technology is the internet. Overall, the company will save money using the internet and the resources available to them. This includes, administrative tasks, such as pay roll processing, and helping employees with their benefits and other tasks that the employees will think need done right away (HRPS). Also, the HR department is now able to have a website to allow employees to go learn about the HR department and how the HR department is able to help them when needed. Overall technology has reduced labor costs and has created a generally more efficient...
