Nice To Feel Appreciated
Living in Egypt - Sat, 2007-11-24 17:46 By Maryanne Stroud Gabbani
A couple of days ago I received a note from Vicky Zhou asking if it was all right to include Living In Egypt in her book about useful weblogs. Sounded okay to me, so I wrote right back giving my permission. Always nice to be published, even if it is a bit indirect. Here's some information on the book:
Living in Egypt Included in Book About Top 500 Blogs
In the early days of the internet, if you didn't know how to write
code, you couldn't publish anything on the web. Well, nowadays with
software such as Wordpress, Blogspot, and Myspace, anyone.. yes anyone
can tell the whole world what is on their mind through blogging.
But, there really isn't a robust way to search for the best blogs on read more »

Sandvine's technology aiding Comcast BitTorrent filesharing blocking
The Baheyeldin Dynasty - "The journey for wisdom starts with knowledge" - Sun, 2007-11-11 03:30 By Khalid
Last month, there were reports that Comcast is sending forged RST (reset) packets for BitTorrent file sharing, hence hindering users who use this protocol. Now, the local newspaper, The Record, has an article about how a local company, Sandvine, supplied Comcast with the technology to do what it is doing. Sandvine's sales and stock price have been doing well of late. Advertisement:

You may have many friends on Facebook, but most of them don't know your blog. You can add the address of your blog to your Facebook profile so that they can visit it. You may also edit the "My Notes" module there, so that your new posts are automatically grabbed from your blog feed and displayed there. But wait a moment, what if you have more than one blog, and Facebook allows you to add one feed only!?

BlogRush

You may ask what is that grey box found on the right hand side of my blog template. You know what, I am one of those bloggers who like to check their blog statistics everyday, and keep some fireworks beside their PC in order to celebrate the event of having 100,000 visitors to their blog. BlogRush is ... do you still remember Web Rings, it is a bit similar to Web Rings. Posts from other bloggers are displayed in this box, and so are your posts displayed on other bloggers blogs. It's like sharing traffic with other bloggers. However BlogRush is more intelligent than Web Rings, whenever someone visits your blog, you earn more points, and the more points you get, the more your posts are displayed on others blogs. read more »

Can Corporate Culture Be a Competitive Advantage?
Dr. Fathi El-Nadi: Management and Human Resources consultant - Sat, 2007-10-27 15:21 By Dr. Fathi El-Nadi
Introduction
Corporate culture has become an important topic in business primarily during the last two decades. While corporate culture is an intangible concept, it clearly plays a meaningful role in corporations, affecting employees and organizational operations throughout a firm. While culture is not the only determinant of business success or failure, a positive culture can be a significant competitive advantage over organizations with which a firm competes. This paper will review how the concept of corporate culture became popular, define corporate culture, show how it affects real-world organizations (both positively and negatively), and consider ways in which cultural change may be brought about.

Organizational Environmental Uncertainities
Dr. Fathi El-Nadi: Management and Human Resources consultant - Sat, 2007-10-27 15:20 By Dr. Fathi El-Nadi
From the genesis of management studies it has been recognized that organizations do not operate in a vacuum. In the seminal work, The Functions of the Executive, Chester Barnard (1938) theorized that an organization’s survival was dependent on its ability to sustain a balance with its external environment by readjusting its internal processes to match the various elements in the environment (Barnard, 1938, p. 6). In recognition of Barnard’s observation that firms must maintain equilibrium in an ever-changing environment, a considerable body of literature has developed that is devoted to conceptualizing and comprehending the external environment and its role in management theory. read more »

Turning Knowledge Into Action
Dr. Fathi El-Nadi: Management and Human Resources consultant - Sat, 2007-10-27 15:15 By Dr. Fathi El-Nadi
Execute. Implement. Stop talking and do something. Actions speak louder than words. If you have a learning organization, it needs to be a doing organization too. No matter how you put it, the evidence is rolling in: The distinction between so called “old economy” and “new economy” companies are overblown. Regardless of industry, knowing what to do isn’t enough. Those companies and business units that dominate their competitors win by turning knowledge into action. read more »

Egypt's Telecom Market Intelligence Report
Dr. Fathi El-Nadi: Management and Human Resources consultant - Sat, 2007-10-27 15:13 By Dr. Fathi El-Nadi
Egypt's telecommunications sector is one of the fastest-developing markets in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, despite the fact that the fixed-line market is effectively monopolised by the state-owned incumbent operator, Telecom Egypt. The same company has a stake in Egypt's second-largest mobile telephone company - Vodafone Egypt - and also has stakes of varying sizes in the country's many value-added and Internet service providers (ISPs). read more »

Keeping In Touch
Living in Egypt - Sat, 2007-10-27 13:59 By Maryanne Stroud Gabbani
Rebellious Arab Girl had an interesting post today. She suggested that everyone post about their favourite blogger and why this is their favourite. I have to admit to very eclectic tastes and the site where I saw the reference to her suggestion is one of my favourite sites for blogging: Global Voices Online. Technically, I suppose Global Voices isn't a blog, but for someone like myself who is interested in things all over the world, a site that collects blogs and keeps track of who is saying what where is invaluable. read more »
