Knowledge for the future helps us think outside the box to be able to communicate logically with one another.
The Arabian city of Mecca at 21.3891° N, 39.8579° E, is regarded as the holiest city of Islam. Mecca is located 50 miles inland off the Red Sea and lies between numerous mountains. Mecca is the birthplace of Muhammad and it is the site for the pilgrimage that is required for devout Muslims. This essay will show that the commercial success of Mecca that allowed the city to become a major trading and religious center from the 5th century to 7th century, was strongly due to three factors: its severe weather conditions, geographical features, and religious importance. These three factors will be explored to show how they laid the foundation for Mecca’s commercial success by attracting a large number of businessmen and devout Muslims who wanted
It describes briefly Saudi Arabia’s history and geography, and the form of government and governing body.

Strengths: The major strength of The kingdom of Saudi Arabia relies heavily on its strategic location. As it is the birthplace of prophet Mohammed and the birth of Islam, it has great antiques and history that is appreciated by Arabs, Muslims and everyone around the world, as the history of the Arab peninsula goes back to more than 1400 years. This provides tons of historic information and antiques that will attract tourists around the world. Another strength is the constant visits from Muslims throughout the year, which will motivate the Saudi government to be on a constant road to development to provide ease for visitors when performing religious rituals.
Knowledge management is a process to ensure that knowledge developed through individuals and group work activities is effectively captured and made available to those who may benefit from it. An example would be to build into project plans the time for review and to identify at the outset how information, knowledge and experience will be captured, stored and shared with other individuals and/or areas of the organisation that may have an interest in the experience and knowledge gained as a result of the project. The importance and value of knowledge management has been brought into sharper focus in the current climate of financial constraint and the need to do more with
In this world we live in, it revolves around knowledge and wisdom. As humans, we always crave for something more—more about things we know, knowledge about things we don’t know about. Therefore, we dig deeper to know more about ourselves, don’t we? Knowledge, as defined, is the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association. Every day that we face bears new experiences which we encounter for us to learn.
There are many different definitions of workplace culture. Charles Handy an Irish author/philosopher specialising in Organisational Behaviour and Management famously said that, “Culture is the way we do things around here,” but if someone was on the outside looking in how would you explain that to them.

So, if an organisation has a “strong, positive, clearly defined and well communicated culture with strong core values” (Deloitte) that company is onto a winner.
