ASSIGNMENT FOR CASE STUDY

Case Study 1: Daniels et al. textbook, pp 66 to 71, questions 1-3, 1-5, and 1-7

I. SUMMARY OF CASE STUDY

The case examines the various rudiments, particularly in the transportation and logistics sectors, that
contribute to Dubai's selection as the ideal location for a logistics hub due to its advantageous position
at the crossroads of transnational trade and commerce from the Eastern to Western worlds. The case,
however, also discusses the drawbacks, opportunities, and unstated future of this successful
international Dubai Port World operation in some nations and continents.

II. KEY ISSUES

Dubai Anchorages World is one of the top three global terminal drivers. It's one of the more recent
entrants into the request and has a robust expansion and accession strategy. Its main revenue comes
from requests that are made in South America and Africa. It covered a number of anchorages that
were snappily vended after being acquired, which made it relatively controversial in the view of
numerous Americans.

The complexity of operating in some nations, like Africa, where the supply chain is an expensive and
time-consuming operation, presents difficulties for Dubai Anchorages World. Finding qualified
personnel is a further challenge Dubai Anchorages World faces when operating in a foreign country.
Common problems in the assiduity include inimical working conditions, low pay, low visibility, and a
lack of qualified workers.

The significance of force chain threat operations to businesses is growing. Environmental pitfalls
(such as natural disasters), geopolitical pitfalls (similar to attack threats and terrorism), economic risks
(such as currency fluctuations, demand shocks, and supplier failures), technological pitfalls (such as
outages in IT and telecommunications systems), and social threats (such as war and terrorism) can all
cause supply chain disruptions.
III. QUESTION

1-3. What global factors have contributed to the growth of the transportation and logistics
industry?

Technology advancements, the segregation of raw materials, supply chain risk, the environment, labor
and product, exchange rate controls, and a decrease in tariffs are just a few of thefactors that have has
had an impact on the development of the transportation and logistics sector. We know it grueling to
uently cover and store the data we formerly used to support the assiduity due to the wide use of
advanced technology. The technology of moment actually assists businesses in perfecting functional
effectiveness by covering coffers. The impact of increased air pollution, Technology advancements,
the segregation of raw mater. The terrain, which has contributed to the assiduity, is also a factor of
growth. The accoutrements were handed over by Dubai Anchorages World due to the health threat.
"Material" refers to the organic components of these products that have a connection to the landscape.
Geology is the root cause. It also takes into account how constantly people use transportation. Thus,
logistics and transportation can be arranged. by organizing and separating raw materials to make them
easier to transport. Eventually, these factors have increased the demand for transporting raw materials,
semi-fnished products, andnished goods in the global frugality

1–5. What protable factors impact the success of the transnational transportation and logistics
industry?

The effectiveness of logistics is directly affected by governmental programs. Because there are many
variables to take into account when distributing goods, the force-chain operation will be reliant on the
efficiency of the logistics system. Governments that uphold sound programs will have advanced
logistics performance pointers. Force-chain operations will be more than companies. You will lose
guests if you do not follow these rules. According to the textbook, since labor costs make up about 25
percent of the cost of logistics, they're also pivotal for both international transportation and logistics.
Because of this, they made the decision to hire good campaigners and hold training sessions to
motivate them to edge their chops. As a result, their transnational business was appreciatively
impacted. The success of transportation and logistics is also allowed to be seen by lowering trade
walls. As the global frugality develops and trade walls are gradationally removed. Furthermore,
companies are going global. To pierce foreign requests, businesses must choose between producing
goods domestically for export and doing so abroad.

1-7. What threats exist for Dubai Ports World? How would you overcome these pitfalls?

In terms of environmental risk, natural disasters will primarily impact the company's operations. Their
safety may also be threatened by terrorist acts. Other potential economic catastrophes include supplier
failures, demand shocks, and exchange rate fluctuations posed by technological advancements. There
is no other significant issue, much like the failure of the IT systems and dispatches. Critical analysis,
soothsaying, and information sharing will be used to reduce these pitfalls, and backup plans will be
put into place if necessary. Another critical step is to identify the vulnerabilities.

IV. RECOMMENDATION TO THE SITUATION

In other countries, the first enterprises with mortal capital were knowledge, training, and chops. Dubai
Port World may combine operations with mortal coffers in order to increase the association's business
opportunities. Increased staff training can support the development of new chops and knowledgethat

Close collaboration will also affect the factors of information capital, which are networks, databases,
and systems. In a world where technology dominates and constant development is necessary in the
demand aspects of business in the twenty-first century, Dubai Port World requires a significant
amount of information technology to maintain and increase its value. Dubai Port World should not be
underestimated. Dubai Port World should concentrate its efforts on improving computer technology,
hiring new personnel with relevant experience, and enhancing the company's online presence in order
to draw more visitors and business partners for IT investment. The state of frugality plays an
important role in every aspect of daily life, from the well-being of the labor force to the capability of a
company to thrive. On the economics issue, when frugality trends downward and unemployment
rises, businesses may have to work harder to keep their staff and change their processes to continue
earning revenue.

V. CONCEPTS TIED TO RECOMMENDATION

Situations abroad constantly demand a more applicable strategy, and some operating modes are used
in different ways abroad than they're at home. Due to the variety of public surroundings, transnational
directors need to be knowledgeable in the fundamental physical and social sciences that have an
impact on operations, including terrain, political wisdom, law, technology, sociology, psychology, and
economics.

VI. CONSEQUENCES TO RECOMMENDATION

Using the previously mentioned suggestion, departments might be able to communicate more
effectively if they've got access to the most recent customer data. Internally, the process will also
move more quickly. Still, one implicit negative consequence is that it may increase the workload per
person. the effectiveness of each individual if the workload increases over time.
