Limited Access to power-brokers
As any MENA veteran knows, getting access to the decision-makers is a constant struggle. Yet this is critical. Tech companies think they are in the high-tech sector, but they are actually in the people business. Taking the time to build enduring relationships with power-brokers is as important as business strategy in shaping market outcomes.
Underperforming KPIs
Companies burn through time and effort on too many insignificant, nice-to-have activities. Government relations firms don’t deliver results for high-tech multinationals, undermining their potential growth in the region.
Lack of Expertise.
Corporate success rests on having specialists who understand the high tech and Middle East and its policy and economic landscape.
