To launch the rich dialogue that is expected throughout this course, choose a company that has been recognized recently as successful and is located in the Middle East. Then, in an original post, present well-written answers to the following questions:

1. How has your chosen company performed against the common elements in successful strategies? (See Figure 1.1 in the textbook to review the common elements.)
2. Describe your chosen company’s strategy in terms of competing in the present and preparing for the future.

• Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer unless the assignment calls for more.
• Use APA style guidelines.
