Hofstede's Analys of Uae

Seven different Muslim nations decided to join under one banner. While they retain their names, together they call themselves the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A nation of approximately 5,927,482 people, and the size of the state of Indiana, it is no wonder why they are comprised of many nationalities. Investigating this nation’s culture has been an enlightening experience. Furthermore, understanding this sovereign states government, culture, and its rich ties to the United States of America, helps to define why both nations come together to defeat terrorism with combined air defense.

The earth has seven continents, which are Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica, Australia, South America and North America. Today, some people prefer to spend their vacation abroad. Those people think for a month or two weeks about a country that they would to visit because almost all countries are unique. Some people try to get enough information about a country before they are going to travel to avoid problems. Furthermore, each country has its special aspects for instance, customs and traditions. Some countries around the world share some similarities between them. Even though the United States shares some similarities with the United Arab Emirates, there are many differences that completely differ

I have to admit that we are very blessed with so many beautiful and breathe taking cities in the world. Dubai is just one of the many countries which has advanced from their humble beginnings and today are multi million tourist. Dubai is another city which has moved from having not as much as other countries once did such as money and a stable economy, to one of the richest cities in the world. In 1966 oil was discovered in Dubai and was a catalyst for Dubai’s economic growth. From a country that had come from not having a stable economy and not a lot of money, it has become like I said earlier, one of the richest cities in the

However, due to the greater outside relationship the UAE has with foreign investors and tourists, it has developed a more liberal attitude within its legislations and allowances than Qatar. This has been demonstrated through the government structures, where despite allowing democracy, Qatar does not let it happen on a regular basis for weak reasons, which defeats the purpose of practicing democracy in the first place. At the same time, the UAE only allows a fraction of the population to vote, but the way the government is run has benefitted the nation, therefore there is no immediate motivation to dispute or rectify it. At the same time, the Qatari laws remain very conservative in a modern world, whereas the UAE has adapted its laws and judiciary system to conform to its tourist and foreign industries. Since tourism does have a large impact on the country’s financial income, the recognition of international customs is very important, especially in the business hubs of Dubai and Ras al Khaimah. The applications of civil liberties is also of concern in Qatar and the UAE, but it should be remembered that the UAE does not theoretically take away these liberties like Qatar does by contradicting its own constitution by having the ruling family influence the media, then disallow the vast majority of its labour

The UAE has one of the most diversified economies in the region. Abu Dhabi holds 90% of the Federation’s hydrocarbon reserves. A down side of that is that now the UAE is dependent on the revenues Abu Dhabi can obtain from the reserves. On the other hand, the service industry in Dubai has been booming, as Dubai has the 7th largest port in the world and has become the largest business center in the region. Additionally, there seems to be political stability across the Federation, which increases the chances of people doing business. There have been reports of the lack of transparency of para-public entities and businesses, which is something

The UAE has a federal constitution that divides power between the federal government (based in Abu Dhabi) and the governments of the constituent Emirates. However, throughout the Emirates, if a foreign company or investor wishes to establish a presence in the UAE they will be required to have a UAE national. A UAE national is another term for an agent, partner or sponsor who will counsel and guide them in while in the country. The UAE is an active member of the United Nations, the Organizations of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Arab League, and the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (AGCC).

Like many of its Arab neighbors, the United Arab Emirates is an absolute monarchy. The current monarch, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was previously the crown prince of the Abu Dhabi Emirate prior to ascending to the throne. Each of the seven Emirates has its own ruler. The seven rulers of the Emirates make up the Federal Supreme Council which is the national judiciary of the United Arab Emirates. The legislature is comprised of 40 members, all elected by high level officials in the U.A.E. government (Metz 199). This governmental structure leaves room for corruption and greed to pervade the the U.A.E.. However, quite the opposite is true. The U.A.E. government can be considered a benevolent regime since the government has instituted numerous policies aimed at promoting domestic growth and offering economic benefits for citizens of the United Arab Emirates.

One final note to make is that any company looking to invest anywhere in the Middle East needs to be aware of corruption. According to Transparency International, if a country is ranked at a 5.0 or below, there is serious corruption within that country. Now the UAE received a ranking of 5.7, which would indicate that UAE is slightly above being considered corrupt. The Middle East as region received a ranking of 3.7, which means that there is corruption abound in other countries of the region with whom the UAE is a business partner. This is

Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, is planning a new megaproject, The Mall of the World. This project will be located in Al Sufouh, Dubai, which is one of the seven emirates that compose the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates is a global hub for business and investment. Although the UAE is the world’s seventh largest producer of oil and natural gas, it has managed to shift its economic focus away from its deep wells. Today, the country derives 71 percent of its GDP from construction, healthcare, aviation, tourism and other non-oil sectors. With the Heritage Foundation giving the country an impressive 79.6 percent business freedom score, you have every reason to set up a company in the UAE and start trading.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was not always the global epicenter of the Middle East. Culture is a lifestyle based on values, norms, behaviors, and beliefs of a region. Before it became a country, it was seven different regions next to Saudi Arabia and Oman. Its culture provided a Bedouin lifestyle and one focused upon the region. As the regions progressed throughout history, they began to realize they need one another to survive. Each region had a ruler, called a sheikh, and they banded together to create a federation known as UAE. Today, UAE thrives upon the westernization, globalization, and wealth that have fallen before them. The region fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, the history, politics, economics, social, and military make up the pieces of culture making UAE a stabilized epicenter in the turmoil area of the Middle East.

The UAE (United Arab Emirates) has been a federation of 7 emirates located on the Peninsula of Eastern Arabian with Saudi Arabia, Oman along with Qatar on its borders. In the north, Iran along with the Arabian Gulf are located. The populace of the UAE is varied and, like the various other Gulf nations, is comprised of migrants from not only the Middle East, but also India and Pakistan, along with Europe and Iran. In the last twenty years, the populace of the UAE exceeded substantially from 600,000 in 1985 to over 2.5 million in 1995 and flaunts somewhat over 4 million individuals today, of which just 20 % are native nationals. Roughly 80 % of the UAE populace is comprised of expatriates, most of whom are Indians, Iranians, Pakistanis along with Arab cizitens. The term "expatriate" is utilized throughout the text to stand for the above ethnic teams. The sharp boost in the UAE populace is attributable to the quick development in economic climate, trade and tourist. The populace spurt is generally triggered by foreign labor, which had migrated to the UAE to deal with the various ambitious advancement tasks (Baysal, 2001).
