In Sand to Silicon Sampler and Saeb Eigner outline a model for how this large-scale rapid growth has been achieved and they pinpoint the reasons for Dubai's success:
- Leadership that is visionary, inspirational and embraces risks, that is demanding but supportive, and that builds confidence.
- A leanness of organizational structure and bureaucracy, which helps to speed things up.
- Openness to outside influence and competition, and to the views of all stakeholders.
- Good communication channels and access to decisionmakers.
- A business culture founded on trust - but not without regulation where it is necessary to reinforce trust and confidence in the system.
