Doing Business with Saudi Arabia - Softcover

Saudi Arabia is beginning to emerge as an active player in international trade, but a lack of political, economic and social awareness has deterred many Western countries from trading with it. This is an analysis of business "best practice", combined with reference information for international companies, entrepreneurs and consultants looking for trade and investment opportunities in this area. The work includes an account of the political, social, legal and commercial considerations of doing business in Saudi Arabia and provides hands-on information and advice on how Western business people need to adapt their existing techniques and skills to deal effectively with clients in a Saudi Arabian culture. Topics addressed include: the economic background; establishing a business; company operational issues; the fiscal and regulatory framework; the financial structure and banking system; establishing trade links; marketing in Saudi Arabia; labour issues; the real estate market; expatriate employment; business culture; and public adminstration.
