Abstract Saudi Arabia is full of rich natural and historical spectacles. It has attracted Muslim pilgrims for centuries from all over the world. Its diverse natural environment and affluent cultural heritage are major attractions for both domestic and international tourists. The paper describes tourism in Saudi Arabia and highlights tourist points in the country. Tourism in Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is a land of abundant natural and historical spectacles. It has been a travel destination for Muslim pilgrims for centuries from all over the world. In Saudi Arabia, tourism was associated only with religious travelling until a few years ago. However, the trend has changed in recent years, and now leisure tourism has also become an important area of development for the Saudi government ( About Saudi Arabia , 2015). With the formation of the Supreme Commission for Tourism in April 2000, now known as the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquity (SCTA), greater emphasis is being laid on the development of tourism, preservation of the historical sites, and conservation of the traditional crafts in the country. Saudi Arabia has remained the centre of most religious pilgrimages for centuries. But now it has started focusing on the leisure tourism sector too. Domestic tourism has also been growing in the region in recent years (Vincent, 2008) Saudi Arabia has multiple products to offer to tourists. The untouched serenity of the Red Sea Coast offers an ideal array of holiday destinations, including different cultural and natural attractions. In the North, it has the Nabataean city of Madain Saleh and in the south, the tranquil and unspoilt Farasan Islands. It has several important cultural heritage sites; however, only one of them is listed on the World Heritage list of UNESCO. There is a lack of adequate infrastructure for leisure tourism in Saudi Arabia, despite its significance as a great tourist destination. “The Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA) is well aware of the region’s potential for development, and in 2008 the government body signed a SR 2.08m ($555,360) contract with an international consultancy firm to explore possible options” ( The Report: Saudi Arabia , 2009, p.210). Places of tourist significance in Saudi Arabia The major tourist attractions in Saudi Arabia are the capital city of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Taif, Makkah
Discrimination is the main problem affected women at work. Modern women are so much freer than they once were to choose their own point of personal harmony and equilibrium on the continuum of service and achievement that constitutes the balance challenge. Despite much talk that women and minority groups are breaking the glass ceiling, they are still grossly underrepresented in the executive suite (Rosow and Casner-Lotto, 1998). Because of their numbers, women have received the most attention. The talent shortage has opened the door to women’s advancement, and it has arrived at a time when many women have acquired enough management expertise to take charge. Whereas the CEO of a major company used to bring thirty years of experience, today twenty years is often thought to be enough. A woman with an especially strong internal glass ceiling lives in the shadow land of her self-doubts. Unconsciously, she lowers her expectations, the risks she will take, and the ultimate achievements she can attain—leading to an internal, self-sustaining, negative cycle. Her lack of personal achievement causes her to doubt herself even more. It becomes easier to turn away from challenges, just as this type of woman has turned away from herself by denying the importance of her own needs and true feeling (Linehan, 1997). Listen to the contrasting voices of the third shift: Issues of balance are the most troublesome of the challenges women face because they pose tremendously vexing dual internal and external issues. Women get it coming and going, especially if they choose to work from desire rather than true financial need. On the outside, they perform the second shift (service to others) after clocking in at their day job (achievement for self) when they are tired and unlikely to be at their best. On the inside, they listen to self-critical voices in their third shift, feeling that they have fallen short of a self-imposed standard to perform well in both worlds (Stanny, 2004). The self-imposed demands of high-achieving women can be the worst because they expect so much from themselves in everything they take on. But even if you’re not a classic overachiever, managing balance is difficult and stressful because it speaks to how you measure your own worth as a woman. This process begins early, with young women’s educational and vocational choices, long before schedule conflicts and day care pickups enter your life. Ultimately, as you move through your adult life, ba
Education is often taken for granted, especially in the communities that have a plethora of resources and opportunities. However, in disadvantaged settings, the role of education and the ability to develop literacy is often minimized, which leads to the reinforcement of social inequalities and the enhancement of the corresponding status quo. More disturbingly, the lack of education opportunities prevents people from developing critical faculties that could allow them to improve the quality of their lives and embrace their potential. In turn, critical pedagogy and, respectively, critical literacies serve as a proxy for introducing people to the ability to make critical observations about the world and other people, as well as become active participants in the social, economic, and political development of their communities. Although the goals of critical pedagogy and critical literacy are geared toward different stakeholders (teachers and learners respectively), the two need to be represented as different sides of the same concept of promoting education as the gateway to community members’ active political, economic, and social engagement with the further opportunities for employment, professional development, and improved quality of life. The notions of critical pedagogy and critical literacy are not quite new, yet they are still relevant in the present-day social and educational settings. Specifically, critical pedagogy as a concept suggests that students should be taught to adopt a critical approach not only to academic issues but also to sociocultural, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical phenomena (Vasquez et al., 2019). Thus, learners become capable of identifying the constraints t
Introduction Strategic analysis is a crucial tool in modern management, as it provides managers with the ideas, models, and methods to make the most appropriate strategic decisions for their companies. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis (S.W.O.T. analysis) aims at identifying strong and weak features of a corporation and at putting them in relation with a range of opportunities and threats: a clear depiction of the factual situation eases strategic decision-making remarkably. Portfolio analysis refers to an approach that represents the various business elements of a multi-business company graphically, with the goal of assessing the maximum outcome for a given level of risk (Grant, 2016). This paper will discuss some aspects of the S.W.O.T. and portfolio analysis, highlighting similarities and differences. S.W.O.T. Analysis The idea of assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to predict the possible outcomes of a corporate strategy about a given objective dates back to a corpus of researches conducted during the 1960s and the 1970s. The grounding principle of the S.W.O.T. analysis states that the performance of an economic agent whose target is a specific objective is influenced by the interactions between the management, the distinctive features of the agent itself, and the scenario where the agent is supposed to perform (Bull et al., 2016). Analyzing strong and weak sides of a company and relating them to the external factors that might affect the desired outcome provides a versatile tool that can be utilized in several ways, including to identify the best solution to achieve an objective, to solve a problem, and to highlight priorities on the basis of strengths and weaknesses. Portfolio Analysis The economist Harry Markowitz introduced the Modern Portfolio Theory in 1952. Portfolio analysis refers to a complex management process aimed at identifying the objectives of investment, quantifying capital market expectations, choosing the asset mix, formulating portfolio strategy, and selecting securities, and implementing the portfolio (Chandra, 2017). The value and composition of a portfolio need to be re-balanced periodically depending on the fluctuations of the market. Similarly, the performance of a portfolio should be assessed on a regular basis to understand if the return of the investment is proportionate to the risks. Substantially, Portfolio analysis is a quantitative methodology that allows managers to determin
How teachers approach the idea of change determines whether change will be effectively realized or not. Most of the effectiveness in implementing change is realized in the decision making process. Many of the school administrators’ efforts to bring about change only require that teacher rely on the existing data to implement change. Consequently, training workshops for the teachers are organized as a way of effecting this change. Nonetheless, this does guarantee that teachers will be equipped to better handle the change process (Bernhardt, 2007). To successfully implement change, teacher must first seek to understand the relationship between the context realities and the prevailing problems that necessitated the change and the implementation of the decision made to realize the needed change. Teachers must therefore careful analyze the problems to be addressed by the change in question and seek to understand the most effective action needed to bring change (Kowalski, Lacey II and Mahoney, 2008). This will lead to teachers developing theories of change that are relevant in addressing the existing needs, along with the identification of the desired outcomes. After the formulation of the said theories, teachers must move on to the next level which is to ensure that these theories are action based. With the identified needs, they must develop necessary actions that are supported by the developed theories of change. Teachers must ensure that the actions are concurrent with the desired outcomes. Most of the teachers ignore capacity building as a necessary tool for effecting change. Capacity building in teacher driven change in schools involves gaining new capacities and is attained through a number of ways. It moves away from just gaining new data about the existing problem to gaining new knowledge. New knowledge is not gained through training but through learning from the context within which change is needed. It means that teachers must not only be ready to change the existing knowledge, but also adopt the new knowledge. The new knowledge thus becomes fundamental in developing of action explicit change theories of change. Most importantly all teachers must deliberately work towards establishing a change based shared vision which will make them establish a sense of ownership to the change program, which will in effect cause them to adjust their responsive behaviors accordingly (Fullan, 2006). The acquisition of new context based knowledge is only a short term measure. in the long term, teachers must endeavor to ensure that they do not only gain new knowledge in education practice but also gain knowledge of, and adopt new technologies. To effectively establish change tea
Introduction and Executive Summary Labor market consists of four sections. This includes skilled, semi-skilled, unskilled and professional labor. This paper analyzes the labor market from the professional perspective. It narrows down to Management Consulting. The paper also looks at the applicability of views of Scholars in a Literature Review. Finally, I analyze the requirements for entry into this market and employment prospects in the medium-term and long-term. General and Specific Analysis Labor market is of a forum where people trade their skills and knowledge. This forum consists of those who want the skills and knowledge and those who wish to provide them. Demand and supply may not always be the same. Sometimes supply exceeds demand. Employers are the people who buy these skills or enter into this market to seek people with particular skills. The holders of the skills are employees. The labor market has four major sections. This includes the skilled labor, unskilled labor, professional labor and semi-skilled labor. In this paper, I will discuss Management Consulting. This falls under professional labor. In summary, the rest consist of a different set of skills. If I may use a typical organization that manufactures vehicles as an example, skilled labor includes the persons whose technical skills form the core business. They design the vehicles and look into the intricacies that follow. Semi-skilled labor includes the others who make the organization to flow smoothly. This includes secretaries and bookkeepers. Lastly, the unskilled labor includes messengers and gatekeepers among others. This last set does not require any skills to enable them complete assignments. In this paper, I will discuss Management Consulting. This falls in the category of professional labor. The people who offer this are highly trained in their fields. They have in-depth knowledge acquired through experience and education. Their advice is paramount to the success of an organization. They undertake highly specialized duties. A professional takes quite some time to acquire that expertise. Hence, growth in only one area seems logical. This category consists of doctors, consultants, health practitioners and lawyers. The former list is an example of a possible long list. Literature Review Different scholars present different but related views on this subject. In his article in Harvard Business Review, Kim Chan looks
On the right hand, contemporary data analysis presents chances that can be leveraged to improve current organization practices by growing the business, making life efficient, and helping in worthwhile causes. Through big data, contemporary data analysis plays a significant part in how the firm will stay ahead of business practices by anticipating potential needs and problems (Khine, 2019). To date, contemporary data analysis dominates the health care sector by minimizing operation costs and identifying efficiencies. However, to improve current organizational practices, data analysis will enable the firm to eliminate diseases, minimize, if not avoid, unnecessary harms, control infections, and extract the most valuable information from the existing dataset. To ensure continuous improvement in the firm, the following three processes might be implemented. The PDCA, or the Deming cycle, presents a systematic procedure to enhance products or services by identifying, analyzing, and developing tests and thinking of viable solutions to the problem (Hamm, 2016). The Kaizen process will allow the firm to utilize standardized continuous improvement approaches by becoming the second nature for every employee. The Six Sigma process will enhance the business by error elimination (Hamm, 2016). Data analysis trends can improve current practices by identifying decision areas where clinicians perform better and duplicate the level of success. Moreover, through data analysis trends, the organization can also identify areas where clinicians are underperforming and provide evidence in helping the business inform its decision-making process (Hamm, 2016). In other words, data analysis trends can help the business track successful metrics in clinical decisions via predictive analytics to minimize potential risks. The relevant and best practices to target proposal messaging to stakeholders constitute developing a plan that outlines the need to engage them. A plan becomes possible to engage the stakeholders, and an outlook of what the outcome might be is anticipated. Moreover, a plan becomes an important guiding principle that defines every engagement step from defining the content to potential achievable outcomes (Winter, 2019). However, persuading buy-in from all stakeholders might not be easy. Some familiar challenges constitute differences in decision-makers, competing priorities, resource limitations, and disparate opinions and data. Overcoming the challenges requires careful consideration of the best strategies to persuade all stakeholders’ buy-in. The strategies to employ would be identifying the stakeholders and monitoring the
Introduction This paper will discuss the story ‘The Third Policeman’ by O’Brien. The paper will focus on the intellectual thesis that is applied in the story. The main character in this story is a single-legged young man who is also orphaned. The narrator of this story discovered the work of de Selby which involved philosophy and sciences and decided to be an amateur scholar at his boarding school. It was during this study that he broke his leg during one of the nights. When he was going back home, he met John Divney who was left in charge of their family business. The narrator’s determination for de Selby’s work led him to leave Divney and proceed with his study. At the age of thirty, the narrator had written a considerable amount of de Selby’s work although he did have funds to publish his work. The determination to have his work published led the narrator to participate in evil activities like murder to acquire these funds. Thesis statement The author of this story was very much interested in explaining how human beings struggle for the quest for success. Determination can drive someone to participate in many activities that will lead to his/her success. The narrator of this story was determined to write enough critics of de Selby’s work and which he succeeded in but lacked the money to publish. The narrator decided to take Divney’s advice to murder Mathers and rob him of his cash so as he could publish his work. After they had completed the brutal act, Divney decide to hide the cash box, and thus the author had to stay close to him so that one day he could locate where the cash box was hidden. This implied that the narrator had to sleep together with Divney all day. Even after discovering where the bag was hidden, the narrator involved policemen whom he came across in the course of the search for the cash box. By involving the policemen it was clear that the narrator did not matter if the police would consider his case as a crime. The author in this case implies that determination can lead someone to take any action irrespective of the consequences associated with the course of action. Discussion Plot and setting of the story This story of the young and orphaned man with one wooden leg is based in the countryside of Ireland. O’Brien (3) notes that “the narrator discovered the work of de Selby when he was at a boarding school and decided to be a dedicated student of this work”. After school, he returned home and met John Divney who was living there and his role was to take care of the family business. The narrator did not have an option other than to befriend this man. After their short stay, the narrator dedicated his future to the work of de Selby and therefore decided to abandon the family business. At the age of thirty, the narrator believed that he had written quite a considerable critical work on de Selby and therefore he needed money to publish this work. This work was like a dream for the narrator and therefore under any circumstance, he had to seek ways to get the money to publish this work. Disney discovere
Introduction In order to evaluate the statement that family is a universal social institution, one has to consider that as social systematic assumptions set off, and family systems theory has exclusive developments. Indeed, family systems theory came forward from a vocation that was more strongly connected to the production and natural science than to human associations. Family theories were drawn from general systems theory (GST), which is a notional point of view presented for clarifying how components of a system work collectively to generate the final result from the different inputs they are provided. Bowen in 1978 developed a systems conjecture of the family that presents an abstract structure for distinguishing the impact of interactions among the family unit, within corporations, and in the social order on human ecology and manners. Bowen’s theory can assist make out factors that blow wellbeing and reconstruction and lead the application of knowledge in ways that are definite to the family and to the rapport of control. The theory of family Universal Social Institution is based on the graphical depiction of relational familiarity. Examiners and philosophers who analyze the family commonly agree that the values, social restrictions, and activities that influence family formations have changed a large amount over the past twenty years. The aptitude of families to live on these changes advocates that families are supple and that their suppleness is supported by how persons in a family interact. The core objective behind this study is to talk about the theory of family Universal Social Institution that erects on the progressions made in the field of the schematic illustration of relational acquaintance in human cognition and that takes the distinctive family interaction background into contemplation. Universal Social Institution is a sociological perception that studies how human beings and groups interrelate, stressing the formation of individual distinctiveness by means of interaction with others. Moreover, even though many roles of the family have been assigned to other social organizations, families are projected to look after one another and offer caregiving. Whether visualized as
