Good Morning
It is a great honor & privilege to address today an elite audience of businessmen, professionals,
entrepreneurs, faculty and students. International Conference on Advances in Business, Management and
Law (ICABML) is a milestone conference for the University of Dubai in bridging the gap between Business,
Management, law and technology and integrating them in an amalgamation of all the key players of
advancing the economy of the nations, especially in the UAE. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is always on
the move and working towards better global positions until it reaches the top. UAE has been developing and
achieving so rapidly since the inception in 1971 that it has made very difficult for others to catch up with
these achievements and successes. UAE has been leaping higher and higher in many global indices in the
level that it is now competing with world economic leaders in this very competitive international arena. UAE
started a process to achieve the goal of being an economic leader through a solid plan in terms of
infrastructure (education, ICT, transportation, logistics, legal, financial and business), innovation, leadership,
economic diversity, quality assurance, credibility building, capacity building, multi-cultural environment,
sustainability, global competitiveness, technology adoption, and knowledge creation.
up with this rapid pace will be left behind. They will be facing a challenge of implementing very fragile
economies depending on delicate economic foundations. The economic driving forces depend highly on
technology and specifically ICT. The ICT trends are so agile that it is very difficult to keep pace with these vast
changes unless there are serious strategic plans and initiatives to implement the elements of ICT value chain
in order to create the knowledge-based eco-system. This value chain has three main elements that will build
the foundations of a knowledge-based society. Starting from creating the skillful workforce through
educational activities, moving towards the intermediate stage of creating patents and intellectual properties
(IP’s) by encouraging R&D activities and ending with knowledge creation through incubators and start-ups.
If we look at statistics of the present and future ICT sector we can realize that this sector is and will be the
main driving force towards economic development which will be the basis of establishing a knowledge-based
economy.
International Conference on Advances in Business, Management and Law (ICABML) is an event to bring
together researchers, scientists and experts in Business, Management, Economics, Law and Technology to
add value to the participants and discuss the latest advancements in the areas of economic prosperity and
sustainability. These kinds of initiatives, such as Smart Cities, Smart Government and Smart Learning, play a
very important role in the human capital development in countries which in turn contribute to the economic
wellbeing of the society. The objectives are to introduce to the professionals, academicians and students the
importance of technology in the development of societies and the solutions of the day-to-day economic
problems encountered in this world.

Available natural resources are depleting, while demand is steeply increasing. Markets need, therefore, to
produce more against less natural resources. The keynote speech will discuss the way-forward acclaiming
innovation as the only way out.
In this context, the private and public sectors are required to intensify research and investment (R&I) to
identify alternative modes of production and new avenues for growth. This requires invention of new
technologies and more innovations in the ways we produce, consume, and manage waste.
Innovation ventures are the ultimate resort for sustainable economic diversification. They offer excellent
propositions for advanced knowledge, entrepreneurship, employment, and wellbeing.

Location Map

Dubai
Dubai has become known as ‘The desert’s most exciting city’. Situated on the north-east
coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai is the second largest of the seven territories that
make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). As the gateway between Europe and Asia, the
city retains a genuine Islamic culture, while successfully embracing the liberal values
that characterize the western world. This uniquely multi-cultural society is now home to
residents from almost 200 countries across the globe.
Cultural practices in Dubai are directly aligned to the Muslim faith, which is the national
religion of the UAE. The attire, cuisine and lifestyle of the Emirati people all reflect the
influences of the country’s Islamic heritage. Nevertheless, Dubai is open and welcoming
to other cultures and faiths, and citizens of many nations seamlessly coexist in a trouble
free environment.
There are large Christian, Hindi, Sikh, Buddhist and other religious communities
practicing openly throughout the UAE. While alcohol and pork products are prohibited
in Islam, they are available to non-Muslims in specific outlets across Dubai. The Islamic
dress code is practiced by the Emirati population, but Dubai's large expatriate
community means that western-style clothing is commonplace.
Weather
With a warm desert climate, the sun shines almost every day of the year in Dubai.
Summers can be extremely hot and humid, and temperatures up to 48°C have been
recorded in August. However, for the majority of the year the weather is pleasant, with a
mean daily temperature of 20 - 25°C between November and April. Rainfall is rare, with
only around three inches of precipitation a year, mainly in January and February.
Language
The official language of the UAE is Arabic, although the cultural mix of the expatriate
community means that you will also hear English, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam and Tagalog
widely spoken. English is commonplace as a second language and is often used alongside
Arabic in official channels of communication. English is also used extensively in the
corporate sector and service industries and while some knowledge of Arabic is always
appreciated, it is not generally necessary in order to do business.
Dress Code
29
Local dress is common amongst Emiratis but there is no requirement for expats to follow
suit. Some establishments request that guests dress conservatively – generally with
shoulders and knees covered – out of respect for local customs. This is a good practice to
follow when out in public generally. Bathing suits are acceptable on the beach but beyond
that you should always dress with the local culture in mind.
Transportation
Dubai has an efficient and cost-effective public transport system that connects the 4,110
square kilometers of the city. More than 700 scheduled bus services operate across 79
routes serving the main residential and commercial districts of Dubai. Buses run
regularly during the day from 6am and night buses operate every 30 minutes from
11.30pm until the morning service resumes.
The Dubai Metro currently operates two lines, with trains running every few minutes
between 6am and midnight Saturday – Thursday. The service commences later in the day
on Friday but continues until 1am Saturday morning. Feeder buses are available to reach
the metro stations from outlying locations.
Taxis are the most frequently used form of transport in Dubai with over 7,500 vehicles
operating across the city. The Roads and Transport Authority ensures a fixed fare
structure is in place for all government-operated cars and designated ‘lady’s taxis’ are
provided for women preferring a female driver service.
Obtaining a driving license of your own is possible but involves a range of different
procedures depending upon your visa status and the origin of any home country license
you may have.
Shopping
Dubai is becoming known as one of the world’s greatest shopping destinations, with a
vast range of chain and independent stores offering a diverse collection of consumer
products. The city is home to the world’s largest shopping centre – the Dubai Mall – where
you will find a host of international branded goods at high street prices. For a different
shopping experience, a wide range of goods can be found in the marketplace-style souks
or the bustling streets of Karama, where bargaining in commonplace.
Dubai hosts two major shopping events each year – the Dubai Shopping Festival
(January, February) and the Dubai Summer Surprises (June, July, August). Savings are
offered by most stores and there are various competitions and activities throughout.
Hours of Business
Businesses are increasingly operating a straight shift, usually stating between 8 and 9am
and finishing between 5 and 6pm. If you have to attend to any matters with a Government
department or Embassy, you will need to visit them between 7.30am and 2.30pm.
30
Government offices are closed for the weekend on Friday and Saturday and many private
companies also observe this two-day weekend.
Most shopping malls are open between 10am and 10pm, sometimes later, and there are
a number of supermarkets operating 24 hours a day.
Public Holidays
Many of the UAE’s public holidays are linked to Muslim festivals, which are determined
by the lunar cycle. As the Islamic calendar is slightly different to the Gregorian calendar,
with 354 or 355 days rather than 365 or 366, the dates of certain holidays change
annually. The fixed public holidays are New Year’s Day (1st January) and UAE National
Day (2nd December). All other holidays are confirmed by the sighting of the moon and
are often announced just a day or two before the event.
While Dubai has developed a reputation for the luxury lifestyle, it is possible to live
economically if you shop wisely and budget accordingly. Basic products are services are
reasonably priced and there are regular sales and promotions on consumer goods. The
average cost of some everyday items and services is provided below.
