2 Answer:- If one believes in the saying that great leaders are not made but are born, anyone has the opportunity to learn how to improve his or her effectiveness as a leader. Successful leadership does not depend on the number of people or the size of organization that an individual is in charge of.
First, a leader has to be a person who is able to come up with a vision and inspire others towards pursuing it. A leader must also be optimistic to be able to see positive sides in his followers and assist them in overcoming any doubt or failure to realize the organizational goal. In addition, most employees want to obey honest leaders. Other traits that make a great leader include supportiveness, facilitation of the followers, and effective communication skills, among others. These traits define the leadership style of a particular person. Some of the leadership styles include transformational leadership, autocratic leadership, democratic leadership and visionary leadership.

Transformational leaders are able to lead through adaptation of their organization to changes within the environment of operation. Thus, change can never occur without planning and execution. Leaders must know that a real change occurs in the character of organizational stakeholders. Any failure to realize this will only provide a cosmetic and short-lived change experience. Thus, a transformation leader must be able to progressively restructure an organization by eliminating approaches, which do not properly work. However, it is vital to keep those methods, which contribute to implementation of new cultures, structures and systems. This will require the leader to be able to identify, improve and utilize the complete potential of the employees. The leaders must also be able to align cultural and structural processes with the organizational goal.

Knowing about the inevitable need for growth, As a CEO it is esstenial need for transformation together and  growth through these three ps. These are people ,passion , and product.

On 11 februray , he was chosen by the Frederal National Council as UAE Prime Minsiter in 2016. 
 This two Leadership style using by sheikh mohammed  in his Leadership Style  :- 
Leadership ia define as the arr of infulence others and guides them properly to earb their obedience, respect, loyalty and cooperation toward a common goal. 
(●)  The democratic leader:-
This leader always shares his people infoormation  to cope with problen and take decision. Thus , creates a social until the tean can be interest of business. By adopting this constructive suggestion offered by his/ her subordinates, leader can driven the power. This approach also encourges creativity, innovation cam build a strong motivation to work a sense of beloging.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid known for being a democratic leadership which is now adopted in many organizations. In his leadership sytle  that makes him a great and exemplary leader in middle east and the world.
(A)  Building permanent Relationships:- 
Sheikh mohammed sees that leader must be a lion leads a group of lions to achive amibition, encourages young peooks to become creative and forgives some mistakes , because arw sometimes the way to learn and succced.
Also, sheikh mohammad thinks that leaders must have loose relationship with others and also trust in them. Leaders also should share the knowldge with people who create loyality. Actually, this exactly wgat Islam encourages the public to deal with others in their life.
This means building lasting relationships are very important not only for the leader but also for all people as well.

(B) leader should have blod vision:- 
The vision for the leader is indispensable , beacuse vision is leading the leader and push him forward. Sheikh mohammad is a good example of a great leader beacuse he has a vision of UAE economic success. Hence he buikt a vision into his country to achieve progress.
 Sheikh mohammed sees that leader must have avidion and fully believes in the abiluty to achieve this vision and achieve the dream of citzens. To do that it, is extermely important to choose the team who believes in the vision, and has the postive engery to acheive it.  
Sheikh mohammed also thinks that the word "impodsible " is a goal itself and the confidence is the kwy to accomplishing goals and surmount challenges. Beside it is really estenial to produce a clear vision for the hereafter.
( c) leading country as leading a family :-
Although sheikh mohammed is the ruler of dubai but he is also known as  "the ceo of dubai" becuase  he makes dubai and its people working as a big or a big company. He becomes obsessed with people and surrounded by immature people. In this way, everyone in the company has the exact same responsibility and duties. Therefore, enchance loyalty and everyone in the team can feel as a nember of the family.

(D) using the precious time :-
 Arab say " time is like a sword. If you did not cut it , it will cut you" and also say " dont delay todays work until tomorrow". This means we can only own time if we work gard and dont waste it. Sheikh mohammed believes that time is the  most important thing we have. So time can be watsed beacuse it is really precious, time should be used to imcrease the achievements and any plan should have a deadline to reach.
 (E)  Honoring  responsibilty:-
A leader can make a credibilty of his leadership when he fully responsible to assume all the consequences of his actions, and the outcomes of decison. 
Sheikh mohammed sees that responsibilty should be everywhere , home , work and community. And leader should honor the responsibilty of any failurr happened from his/ her decisons rather than try claiming that it is not his / her fault. Beacuse his / her psotion does not give him/ her a privilege or power, but impose a responsibilty.
(F)  Dealing with respect :-
Any dailogue requires the recognition of the differnce with the other parties and respect their different opion, attitude or judgement. Beacuse God created us different from each other, different color, religion, culture. We should not be afraid of the differnce, but respect each other and deal with each other according to this respect.
(G)  Being Number 1:- 
Sheikh mohammed belives that dubau and uae can be number one in many fields and can suprise the world, this can be achieved if everyone believs in himself and his power. 
Sheikh Mohammed quoted" I wanr dubai to be Number one . Not in the region but in the world... number one is everything , high education, health, housing.. give my peolle highest way of living" ( shiekh mohammed and making of dubai , 2010).
 Conclusion ;-
 Leadership is a critical part in the succes and one of the major key element to acheieve goals of an organization and the goverment as well. Sheikh mohammed ruler of dubai is very good example of a great leader. His leadership sytle has been explained in this paper.  Dubai has been led to an amazing success in the last 10 years by his leadership style amd qualities of having a lasting realtionship and blod vision, leading head of family , using time effectively, holding responsibilty, respecting other and being the best.
 Matching these leadership style qualties of sheikh mohammmed with the leadership sytle  in the theory. I can conclude that sheikh mohammed is a kind of decocratic leader with some charismatic leader feature.


(C)  Mukesh Ambani :-






4no. Answer:- 

(A)Bashar Al- Assad

(1) 191,000 people killed and counting:-

Syrians men evacuate a victim following an air strike by regime forces in the northern city of Aleppo on August 26, 2013. US Secretary of State John Kerry called last week's alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria a "moral obscenity," in remarks on August 26, 2013.

The main thing you need to know about Assad is that his regime is responsible for killing a huge number of people.

According to the United Nations, at least 191,000 people were confirmed killed in Syria as of April 2013. More than 8,800 were children under the age of 10.

Keep in mind that these are just "confirmed" numbers. And they are based on nearly 320,000 reported killings. The death toll is likely much higher than even that. As Navy Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said, "Tragically it is probably an underestimate of the real total number of people killed during the first three years of this murderous conflict."

2) 11,000 Syrians tortured and executed:-

In a report published in January 2013, a small team of international human rights lawyers presented conclusive evidence that the Assad regime had tortured and executed approximately 11,000 Syrians since the beginning of the conflict. Drawing on photographs and documents smuggled out of Syria by a defector from Assad's military police force, the lawyers concluded the regime has engaged in "systematic killing" on an "industrial scale."

3) Children trapped in an "archipelago of torture":-

Rights Watch (HRW) calls the vast and complex network of torture and detention maintained by Syrian security forces and intelligence agents.

"The level of torture is not comparable to any other conflict I've worked on," Anna Neistat, associate director for Program and Emergencies at HRW, told GlobalPost in 2012.

When it comes to Assad's thugs, it seems that no person is too young to be tortured. One in five detainees is a minor, says HRW. 

GlobalPost spoke with some of the children tortured and imprisoned by the regime. Their stories are horrifying.

4) Chemical weapons attacks:-

There's no shortage of war crimes when it comes to the Assad regime, but one of the more prominant violations has been the use of chemical weapons. Before the United States started bombing the Islamic State, the closest it came to striking Syria was after Aug. 21, 2013, when someone — there's international consensus that Assad's forces were the aggressors, although the regime continues to deny it — dropped weapons loaded with sarin gas on Ghouta, a rebel-held suburb outside Damascus.

More than 1,400 Syrian civilians were killed in the attack, and several hundred more were poisoned. It was the first large-scale use of chemical weapons since 1988, when Saddam Hussein used them against the Kurds near the end of the Iran-Iraq War.

Barack Obama famously warned that Assad would be crossing a "red line" if he used chemical weapons against his own people, but the United States didn't take military action and Obama probably wishes he could take that warning back.

5) Use of barrel bombs in densely populated civilian areas:-

are like chemical weapons in that they don't discriminate between civilians and soldiers, and, one could argue, this is their main value: killing huge numbers of civilians, destroying whole city blocks, and terrorizing the entire population. These bombs are highly explosive, unguided, and imprecise weapons made from cheap and available materials, like oil or water drums, and packed with explosives and scrap metal for maximum destruction. 

Assad's army has repeatedly used barrel bombs, and in densely populated cities like Aleppo, the results have been devastating to human life and city infrastructure.

6) Massacre at Houla :-

Syrian army troops hold up portraits of President Bashar al-Assad (L) and his late father, former president Hafez al-Assad, as they pull out of the southern protest hub of Daraa after a military lockdown during which dozens of people were killed in what activists termed as "indiscriminate" shelling of the town.

The scale of killing is massive. The total horror of the Assad regime, though, often reveals itself at a small scale. Take the massacre in the town of Houla.

There, according to a UN report, Syrian government forces and fighters from the brutal, pro-government militia known as the "Shabiha" ("ghosts" in Arabic) killed more than 100 civilians in May 2012. Half of the victims were children. There were reports of armed gunmen spraying homes with indiscriminate weapon fire and going house to house to kill the men, women, and children inside. 

The massacre prompted the UN Human Rights Council to pass a resolution condemning the regime for its deliberate attacks on civilians.

If you feel like getting inside the head of a Shabiha fighter — not that you'd really want to —  read this GlobalPost interview.

7) Targeting journalists:-

A Turkish demonstrator in Ankara holds pictures last week of the late Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik, left, during protest by journalists against violence on the news media in Syria.

The US fight against the Islamic State will always be bound up in the videotaped beheadings of American journalists James Foley, who worked for GlobalPost, and Steven Sotloff

Rebel groups like Al Nusra and the Islamic State have played a large role in turning Syria into "the world's most dangerous country for journalists," according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), but the Assad regime has been a major player, too. Assad's forces have consistently arrested, imprisoned, and killed journalists throughout the duration of the conflict.

Marie Colvin, an American reporter for the Sunday Times, was among the journalists killed while covering the war. She was killed alongside a prominent French photographer, Remi Ochlik, when the regime bombed a house where she was staying in the city of Homs. French President Nicolas Sarkozy claimed at the time that they'd been "assassinated," since the house was serving a well-known press center.

8) 9 million refugees:-

2.5 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq. Another 6.5 million internally displaced persons remain in Syria.

The UN World Food Program says that nearly 6 million Syrians now rely on its food assistance programs to survive.

how to star Starbucks|| country doesn't have Starbucks|| Starbucks details 2020

Starbucks Corporation in the Global Market

  1. The nature of the external and internal environment surrounding Starbucks.   

  2. Analyze Starbucks strategic Vision, Mission, and Core Values. 

  3. What is Starbuck’s strategic approach to gain competitive advantage  

  4. Analyze the overall Starbuck’s strategy using Porter’s Five Forces Model Competition

1.The nature of the external and internal environment surrounding Starbucks.   

External environment consist of the following

i)Political/ Legal environment

Starbucks imports coffee beans from different countries and each of these countries has its own tariff and customs regulations. In addition, any political upheavals in the countries where Starbucks imports its coffee beans would greatly interfere with the company’s operations.

ii)Economic environment

The global financial crisis of 2008 greatly affected the operations of Starbucks in various countries. The recession resulted in an increase in the operational costs of the company The coffee industry is demand- driven and when economic conditions are harsh, consumers treat coffee as a luxury and this affects sales

iii)Socio-cultural environment

Consumers across the world are increasingly demanding fair practices, and this has seen many firms change their operating practices in order to accommodate these demands.The company has also had to adjust its product offerings in order to meet the growing demands of the rising number of educated and health conscious consumers.

iv) 

Technological Segment

Advances in technology affect product innovation, product services, customers’ store experience, and the way organizations are able to interact with other business partners. Technological improvements can enable a company to market its products directly to their target market using emails, text messages, and social network sites as well Throughthe use of technology, Starbucks has managed to change its product mix to suit new market segment

v) 

Competitors

The two main competitors of Starbucks are MacDonald’s McCafe and Dunkin Donuts. On the one hand, McCafe maintains a low price strategy o its products in Burritt, 2007. On the other hand, Dunkin Donuts offers customers a variety of coffee flavors to choose from, in addition to its emphasis on quality in Dicarlo, 2004.

Customers

Starbucks provides interpersonal services to its customers in whereby there is high contact between baristas, staff, and customers (Miller, 2010).. The company has tried to change the formula of some of its products to suit the tastes and preferences of customers in certain markets The management at Starbucks recognizes the important role played by the staff and Baristas, which is why they offer rewards and incentives in recognition of their exemplary work.

Price

Starbucks’ products are priced at a premium owing to the perceived upscale image in the eyes of the consumers. In this case, Starbucks uses high pricing to differentiate itself from the rest of the competition 

Place

Most Starbucks coffee stores are located in neighborhoods with high traffic. The company’s coffee stores are also located in different large chains. The “third place” concept as practiced by Starbucks has helped to turn its stores into an ideal uenvironment away from home where customers can relax, surf the internet, or listen to music 

Promotion

One of the fundamental requirements for successful promotion is to facilitate friendly and smooth interactions among the company’s representatives and the market without compromising the efficiency manner in which a company is able to offer its services to the target market.

The success of any service firm largely depends on the ability of the organisation in question to target, acquire, get hold of, and retain keep the ‘right’ customers. Good organisations are mainly based on cultivating customer retention relationships, as opposed to the acquisition/transaction mentality. Starbucks is one such organisation.

3.What is Starbuck’s strategic approach to gain competitive advantage  

Strategy

Starbucks strategy is a simple saturate the market. By spreading out the outlet location it makes one store not cut the profits of another store. Usually, the stores would be placed on locations based on demographics, traffic patterns, the location of competitors as well as the location of its own stores.

However, the Starbucks strategy went against the grain. Instead of following the trend, CEO Howard Schultz had a different idea. He decided that the Starbucks strategy would be to blanket an area completely. Siding matter about one store cut the profits of another store, the Starbucks strategy focused on heavily increasing the foot traffic in one specific part of town. They think this will reduce the company’s delivery and risk, also the customer doesn’t need to stay in the waiting line for a long time. Schultz knew that his Starbucks strategy was a risk, but it was one he was willing to take.

For the result of this strategy. Starbucks quickly achieve market dominance. They have more than 20 million customers per week, this is the highest frequency of visiting customers. Since the company went public, sales have risen roughly 20% each year. Even when the rest of the economy seems to be in a slump, loyal patrons keep returning to Starbucks for their regular cup of Joe.

Starbucks using many kind of entry mode for expanding its business to another country. These include joint ventures, licensing, and wholly owned subsidiaries. Starbucks gain advantage of providing access to local partner knowledge by using joint venture. Starbucks also shares development costs and risks with Sazaby in addition. Starbucks use licensing way to enter the Middle East because with this mode it allow Starbucks to minimize capital outlays for marketing research and decrease local market expertise. And for the wholly owned subsidiaries it offers technology protection and ability to engage in the global strategic coordination.
