The approach for Abu Dhabi’s solar energy: Centralised or Decentralised
This paper evaluates the economic viability of decentralised solar systems in Abu Dhabi. By analysing levelised cost of electricity (LCOE), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) across customer groups, it finds that while rooftop solar generation is not yet cost-effective for heavily subsidised sectors, it remains viable for industrial and commercial users. The study suggests that subsidy reform could significantly improve the financial appeal of decentralised systems, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s decarbonisation targets under the UAE Energy Strategy 2050.

The Impact of Nepotism on Family Firm Performance: Evidence from Turkish Family Businesses
Nepotism is widespread in family firms, especially in developing counties such as Turkey. A common feature of these countries is the adaption of tribal and peasant social morals into their organizations instead of norms and principles typical of industrial society, which fosters nepotism. Despite its prevalence, the impact of nepotism on firm performance has attracted little attention in such firms and has not been sufficiently examined in the literature. This study seeks to contribute to the underexplored research area by suggesting an explanation for nepotism by analyzing its effects on firm performance. The reasons for nepotism are examined based on institutionalization level, altruism, legislative basis, firm size, Turkish culture, and human resource practices of firms. Moreover, a case study approach is adopted, implementing qualitative semi-structured interviews to provide a depeer understanfing of why nepotism occurs. The study involves seven interviews with the founders and employees of family firms. The findings reveal that each dimension of nepotism as institutionalization, altruism to family, legislative basis, firm size, Turkish culture, and human resource practices has negative impact on firm performance.
Saudi Arabia's Industrial Transformation Since 1976; Industrialization, Diversification and Global Influence, An Empirical Analysis and Forward-Looking recommendations

Current data show industrial sector growth of annually post-2015, a increase in industrial facilities since 2016, and manufacturing accounting for of GDP with aspirations to reach by 2030. Econometric models and predictive analysis underscore the crucial roles of capital accumulation, export sophistication, and labor market reforms. Despite remaining oil-reliant, Saudi Arabia's industrial policies, bolstered by Vision 2030, have positioned the Kingdom as a regional econsauditazion” policy, at same time who give transparent citizenship process to businessmen, talents, investors and leveraging technological adoption for sustainable diversification, who will create the “image” of a diversified country to world public and not more a “oil dependent” to global stakeholders.
Impact of office politics on strategy formulation, execution, and recommended governance in the Arab world
Office politics has been a pervasive issue in the corporate sector across the globe. This issue signifies a high concern for business managers and entrepreneurs working hard to improve the work processes and team-building activities. Political individuals are identified by researchers for a vulgar display of power and control dynamics to create alliances that foster their growth in organizations. Despite being considered a harmful and controversial practice by many scholars, office politics requires more research to cover its benefits for business organizations. This study is conducted to uncover the dynamics of office politics for business organizations by looking at the case in the Arab world. This study argues that organizational politics significantly impacts strategy formulation, execution, and organizational governance in Arab countries. The critical analysis of secondary sources shows that office politics impacts the decision-making of leaders. In several industries in the Arab world, it contributes to workers’ dissatisfaction. However, the study also suggests using office politics for positive purposes to improve decisions regarding employees’ well-being and cultural improvement. Hence, managers must learn more about the negative impacts of office politics on policy and governance and improve their decision-making by using politics as a tool for growth and innovation. This study answers these critical questions related to office politics to cover the research gap and how it can destroy and improve organizations.

The Impact of Multiple Production Lines on the Effectiveness of Quality Management Systems and Internal Controls in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is one of the most highly regulated industries globally due to its direct influence on patient safety and public health. To meet increasing market demand, many pharmaceutical firms operate multiple production lines, each potentially dedicated to a different product category—such as oral tablets, sterile injectables, or topical creams. While this strategy enhances productivity and flexibility, it introduces significant challenges in maintaining effective Quality Management Systems (QMS) and internal controls (Kechagias et al., 2021). The International Council for Harmonization (ICH Q10) emphasizes the importance of a robust pharmaceutical quality system that spans the product lifecycle. However, the complexity of coordinating several production lines can strain systems for batch release, deviation management, validation, and documentation (EMA, 2020). This study explores how such operational complexity affects the integrity and performance of QMS and internal control frameworks in pharmaceutical plants.
Mitigating Financial Risks in Modern Businesses: Strategies for Market Volatility and Credit Risk Management

Effectiveness of SAIs as an International Anticorruption Practice
Corruption is any dishonesty undertaken by an individual or an entity entrusted with a position of authority to acquire benefits illegally or abuse power for personal gain (Luna-Pla et al., 2022). Corruption has been recognized as a global concern affecting economic growth and development, social stability, and public trust in institutions (Wen et al., 2023). Some common forms of corruption that have been documented are perpetrated by public institutions and commercial entities. In public institutions, the common forms of corruption include bribery, extortion, blackmail, influence peddling, illegal lobbying, collusions, gratuities, and graft (Bahoo et al., 2021). These practices violate public trust for personal gain and are considered criminal offenses nationally and internationally. Commercial entities may also engage in corrupt practices such as embezzlement, insider trading, money laundering, bribery, and price fixing (Bahoo et al., 2021). These practices undermine the principle of fair competition, distort the market process, and ultimately cause economic harm to a nation (Ho et al., 2019). The problem of corruption is aggravated by the fact there are no generally globally accepted practices to fight corruption. Several countries have recorded the highest level of corruption at public and private levels. Transparency International, a non-government entity that publishes an annual corruption index, ranks countries based on the level of perceived corruption in the public sector (Akimov et al., 2020). The organisation uses an index based on a scale of 100 for very clean and 0 for highly corrupt (Akimov et al., 2020). As at 2021, the three most corrupt nations in their respective order are Iraq, Columbia, and Mexico (Transparency International, 2021). Transparency International has also noted other countries with high levels of corruption, including Brazil, Russia, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, El Salvador, Azerbaijan, Venezuela, Afghanistan, North Korea, Yemen, Equatorial Guinea, and Libya (Transparency International, 2021). In contrast, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Singapore, and Norway are some of the least corrupt nations (Transparency International, 2021).
Comprehending Dubai's IT Companies' Corporate Culture through Octapace Profiling
The most significant component of the existence of a corporation is its culture. It is considered the DNA of the corporation, which comprises assumptions and values shared in a corporate sector. The OCTAPACE Profile, developed by Udai K. Pareek is used in this study to evaluate the degree of corporate culture present in the IT sector. The OCTAPACE profile is a 40-item tool that provides an overall view of corporate culture in eight values: Openness, Confrontation, Trust, Authenticity, Proaction, Autonomy, Collaboration, and Experimentation. The OCTAPACE culture of the IT sector in Dubai was examined using a descriptive research design with the help of a 4-point scale structured questionnaire. Fifty software employees working in various firms in the IT sector in Dubai were surveyed using the random sampling approach for the study. The analysis was carried out using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 23, and the paper applies certain statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation, and correlation. The findings demonstrate a strong correlation between each dimension of OCTAPACE culture. The analysis reveals that employees perceive almost an identical pattern in entire OCTAPACE values, among them, confrontation and collaboration are the most highly valued, and authenticity is the least valued. The study serves as a guideline to the top management to determine the weaker aspects of corporate culture and substantially develop a healthy work environment in the organization. It also aids in developing a competitive advantage and desired organizational performance in the long run.

Media sustainability coverage and its impact on CSR adoption in the business sector in Dubai
In light of the growing global interest in sustainability and its requirements as a result of the environmental, economic and social conditions that the world is witnessing, it is necessary to consider the roles assigned to all sectors of society, perhaps the most important of which is the business sector, and the extent to which it fulfils its social responsibility through its operations and activities. It is important to consider the lack of integration of this concept in many business sector organisations and their delay in doing so. This study aims to examine the relationship between media coverage of sustainability topics and issues in the UAE and the amount of corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment in Dubai. In order to investigate the relationship between these two variables, a sample of 314 individuals from the Dubai community was selected through an online data collection platform. This study utilised a mixed-method approach that included interviews and a general questionnaire containing several questions. Descriptive analysis, regression analysis, and correlations were used to process the data. The results of this study were encouraging regarding the strength of the relationship between the UAE media's coverage of sustainability topics and issues and the level of CSR commitment of companies and organisations operating in the Dubai community, opening the door for further studies that can investigate additional influencing factors. The findings and conclusions of this study represent an important factor that can be taken into consideration while searching for solutions to enhance the commitment of companies and organisations operating in Dubai's community to their social responsibility by focusing on creating and sustaining systematic media programmes that cover sustainability issues and requirements.
Enriching Real-Estate Through Sustainable Public Spaces: The case of Dubai- UAE
In the process of the ongoing urban planning strategies for developing smart cities, the concept of urban public square has not yet been given the attention of urbanists and city planners in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. More focus was given by architects and developers on saturating the market with iconic smart buildings rather than developing more livable communities with public spaces and plazas for people to connect. The overall aim of this paper is to highlight the key role that the real state sector can play to foster developing public spaces and squares as an integral part of smart urbanism. The issue of developing urban public squares in Dubai new communities and formulating policies for including such spaces in new districts and cities should be closely examined. The focus should be on enriching the real estate sector by regulating a concept of injecting urban public squares in the new smart and sustainable urbanism in Dubai to perform as a sociocultural entity within the fabric of new communities for the sake of improving social life and developing vibrant environment. With keywords such as smart city, public squares, social, urban design, livability; and sustainability, this write up makes the case of sustainable urbanization.
Examining the impact of the stock market development on Economic growth- KSA Tadawul.
The relationship between stock market development and economic growth has been a subject of debate, with arguments centered on the impact of a well-functioning stock market on economic growth. This study argues that economic growth is influenced by stock market development and economic reform indicators, while controlling for other determinants of growth. The research employs a comprehensive theoretical framework linking stock market development to economic growth, and it specifically focuses on the Tadawul stock market in Saudi Arabia. The empirical analysis, using sophisticated panel data econometric techniques, reveals a significant positive correlation between Tadawul stock market and economic growth, particularly in the oil sector. This suggests that the Tadawul stock market plays a crucial role in influencing and contributing to economic growth, especially within the context of the oil industry.
Effect of Macroeconomic indicators on Financial Inclusion: A Study of EAGLES Economies
The effect of macroeconomic variables on financial inclusion in EAGLES economies is examined in this study. The Eagles economy, comprising nine nations—Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and Turkey—is the foundation of the analysis. The data was examined from the other eight prefectures because Taiwan's data isn't available from 1992 to 2022. The findings demonstrate that the connection between financial inclusion and GDP is very weak—nearly zero—and linear. There is a very slight negative link between exchange rates and financial inclusion. Additionally, there is a very modest negative link between interest rates and financial inclusion. Interest rates and financial inclusion have a very weakly negative association. A very slight positive linear association is suggested between the inflation rate and financial inclusion.
