From the Paper
"Geographical position played a critical role in the political development of both nations. In ancient times, Bahrain lay across the main ocean trading routes between the Romans and Greeks to the West, the Indian subcontinent, and sea trade among nations along the Persian or Arabic Gulf. Nakhleh said that for centuries Bahrain has prided itself "on the urbanity and middle-class pragmatism of its people," the result of its long history as a trading entrepot (96). Like Egypt, Bahrain encountered many alien rulers, but most of them came before the 15th century A.D. from the Middle East, Babylonians, Persians, and in 940 A.D."

From the Paper
"By contrast, nearly one-half of all employed Bahrainis work in the civil service, making the government the country's largest employer. In all, about 44 percent of the labor force is Bahrainis, indicating the extent of dependence upon foreign workers. Recent reports indicate that unemployment is particularly high among the young, a condition exacerbated by a natural population growth rate that is outstripping economic growth and the emirate's capacity to create jobs, again, another important reason to go into project management, which has a history of creating jobs."

From the Paper
"It is not an exaggeration to say that Geographical Information Systems as a method of information gathering and information processing is probably the most important and influential methodological and technical development to have occurred in geography and in the ways in which human understand the parameters of the physical world around us over in the past two decades. In Bahrain as elsewhere, GIS systems have helped to unify the ways in which we see the physical and human elements of the land, thus enabling people to understand the effect of human habitation far more clearly (and in a far more sophisticated way) than ever before."

Abstract
A paper which explores the trade between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The paper focuses on how it affects both countries' international trade relations and pays special attention to OPEC, Free Trade agreements between the GCC and the EU, and the Qatar dispute.
From the Paper
"Bahrain's trade and investment relations with Saudi Arabia and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council are particularly strong and it grants them preferential treatment on tariffs, investment and government procurement. Bahrain has also attempted to reduce the size of the public sector which dominates key economic activities. Full or partial privatization of several companies, especially in services, and contracting out of some government services to private sector providers are in the offing. The report stresses the need for a more systematic and stepped up privatization Programme to increase private investors' confidence in the economy and to attract foreign investment."

From the Paper
The political structure of Bahrain allows for a degree of participation in the political process on the part of the citizenry. However, at the same time the political reality is that one family controls the political life of the country and constitutes the government of Bahrain and has for some time. The Al Khalifa family is headed by Sheikh Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa, the eleventh ruler of the Al Khalifa dynasty, which has ruled the country since 1783. He has been the ruler of Bahrain for 35 years and succeeded to the throne in 1961 when his father died. At that time, Bahrain was still a British protectorate, and Isa ibn Salman negotiated the termination of Bahrain's dependent status after the British announced in 1968 that they would withdraw all their defense forces from the Persian Gulf region. Bahrain achieved complete independence in 1971, at which time Isa ibn Salman assumed ..."

From the Paper
"The natural environment, especially climate, has played a significant role in influencing politics and government in both Bahrain and Egypt over the centuries; however, they were a more decisive factor in Egyptian political history. Bahrain as a culture dates back to the third millennium B.C., whereas Egyptian civilization (one of the oldest in the world) is more than 6,000 years old. Robison & Greenway commented that Bahrain had "a much more temperate climate 4500 years ago" than it does today (62). The Dilmun Empire in Bahrain was closely connected to the Sumerian religion then practiced in Mesopotamia in which "Bahrain's greenery was central" (Robison & Greenway 64). The..."

Abstract
This paper provides general background information about the Middle-Eastern country of Bahrain. It provides an overview of the economic situation, the political situation, Bahrain's infrastructure, business prospects, geology, and cultural practices and traditions.
From the Paper
"Bahrain is a small, Middle-Eastern country only about 3 1/2 times the size of Washington, D.C., located on the Persian Gulf. Made up of 33 small islands (Marcic & Puffer, 1994), it is close to Saudia Arabia and Kuwait, and shares religion and some cultural traits with those countries, but unlike those countries has little oil of its own. Instead, it has established itself as a location for petroleum processing and international banking (CIA, 2003). It is more progressive than some of its neighbors; for instance, women in Bahrain have the right to vote. Bahrain has been an ally of the United States in the recent war with Iraq. Its climate is that of a warm desert, with mild winters but hot summers."

From the Paper
"The natural environment, especially climate, has played a significant role in influencing politics and government in both Bahrain and Egypt over the centuries; however, they were a more decisive factor in Egyptian political history. Bahrain as a culture dates back to the third millennium B.C., whereas Egyptian civilization (one of the oldest in the world) is more than 6,000 years old. Robison & Greenway commented that Bahrain had "a much more temperate climate 4500 years ago" than it does today (62). The Dilmun Empire in Bahrain was closely connected to the Sumerian religion then practiced in Mesopotamia in which "Bahrain's greenery was central" (Robison & Greenway 64). The relatively mild climate of Bahrain, as compared to that of neighboring continental areas of the Gulf region, made it ideal for seafaring trade including excellent harbors and an abundant supply of fresh water. Egypt's politics and state structures were more directly a product of a climate which yielded a large, thinly populated arid area and a densely populated Nile River Valley whose inhabitants have been dependent for their survival on the effects of rainfall and floods. According to Metz, Egypt's political and economic system "developed around the concept of a god incarnate (the pharaoh) who was believed through his magical powers to control the Nile flood" (8). Rule under the pharaohs generated (especially after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt) in the third millennium B.C., centralized royal administrative institutions and structures."

From the Paper
"Bahrain is an archipelago in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia, a series of islands that are generally level expanses of sand and rock and with a causeway connecting the country to Saudi Arabia. The government is a traditional monarchy. Oil was discovered in Bahrain in the 1930s, but it was not a great deal of oil when compared to the other Gulf states. Sheik Isa ibn-Sulman al-Khalifa became emir in 1961 with a determination to diversify his country's economy. He set about establishing Bahrain as a major financial center. Since then, the country also provides the populace with free medical care, education, and old-age pensions ("Bahrain" Infoplease).

Abstract
This paper explains that the Gulf States countries realize that they can not continue to sustain their economies based on crude oil; therefore, they have identified the tourism industry as a viable option for the economy of the region. The author points out that the success of the tourism industry is dependent on regional stability, which is a problem in the Arabian Peninsula. The paper relates that tourism industry is labor-intensive; however, in the Persian Gulf region, the native population density is low, and skilled and trained workforces are generally imported from around the world.

Summary
From the Paper
"In 2002, WTTC organized the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa to identify the important factors and constraints that are facing the travel and tourism industry. (WTTC) Tremendous amounts of resources and investments are made by the private sector in the travel and tourism industry. The private sector is always driven by the need to generate profits and revenue for the organization making the investments at the same time these entities are expected to practice responsible behavior and observe the laws and regulation of the region within which they conduct business and behave ethically and morally in the region. Long term planning and resource development is also essential. It does not make financial sense for a corporation to build a multibillion dollar resort only to have to abandon it ten years down the road if the corporation has not been able to maintain the integrity and environment in which the resort operates.

From the Paper
"More and more data are becoming available in a digital format. Investments in the field of data communication are huge and enable the transfer of large amounts of data all over the world. Internet and Intranet are increasing the availability of information for large parts of society. And these developments change the way organisations think and act. Well-designed GIS systems will enable quick and easy access to these large volumes of data and enable organisations to use them to gather information either for their own benefit or for the public benefit in order to:
? Provide services;
? Increase competitiveness
? Provide information.
Increasingly organizations are recognizing that geographic information can serve as an important resource. There is a growing awareness that when a GIS project is successfully completed, the users of the GIS end product can be more effective in completing their work without increasing the complexity associated with it."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the current MTC Vodafone system, performance appraisals are carried out twice a year, based on the competency listings from the company's competency catalogue and on preset targets given to each employee. The author points out that the advantages of using the 360-degree performance appraisal system is that it provides the worker being reviewed with information regarding how his or her peers and managers perceive or evaluate the work of the individual. The paper relates that the study will be conducted as a combination of primary and secondary data, using both surveys and interviews of employees.

From the Paper
"Motivating and nurturing a talented workforce can be a competitive benefit for any organization-the human capital is the most critical for the success of the organization. Of all the assets that the organization possesses, the human element can provide the most variability and therefore require the greatest attention. The journal article "Maslow revisited: building the employee commitment pyramid" evaluates motivation from the perspective of the employee/employer dynamic and not just the individual's relation to the environment. Many of these factors of motivations change over the period of employment. An environment, which is responsive to the needs of the employees can also provide a more stable and trust worthy workplace for an employee. The task of finding, hiring, and keeping employees who show pride in their work and loyalty toward the company is becoming very difficult."
