Introduction
Many investors, who enjoy responsibility and awareness, are
currently looking forward to more than just investing their capital for
the purposes of achieving a material return on their money only, but
they are keen that the way they allocate their invested money
contribute to achieving and enhancing sustainability for the
environment and society, and they are making their serious effort to
combine their goals Financial and ethical values, which is referred to
as sustainable investing or socially rewarding investing.
2
One global study showed that 1% of global capital markets shift
towards sustainable investment is sufficient to cover the current
annual financing gap of $2.5 trillion to achieve the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainable investing can be practiced in almost all asset classes,
including cash, stocks, bonds and even alternative investments, and
Islamic financial instruments are easily compatible with this type of
investment.
Depending on their priorities and areas of interest or focus,
investors may call this type of investment, such as “value-based
investing”, “impact investing”, “ethical investing”, “social
investment” and “green investment. Investment strategies and identify the
factors that influence investment decisions
in organizations 1) Regulatory and operational factors that influence
investment decisions
Most investment decisions require large funding, which may
affect the life of the project.
The expected return usually extends for long periods of time.
This requires forecasting the expected revenues and costs for a
long period, as the investment decision includes allocating a
certain amount of economic resources currently available with
the aim of creating new production capacities or an increase in
Existing production capacities or maintaining them in the hope of
obtaining a return that extends over a long period of time.

Taking the investment decision also leads to allocating a large part
of the company’s funds to purchasing specialized fixed assets for a
long period of time. The company is in the case of expansion or replacement with fixed
costs that result in raising the break-even volume to a higher level
than the usual level for a long period of time.
(Fater, 2010)
It is worth noting that taking an investment decision in a particular
project impedes the investment of its funds in other investment
alternatives that could have been invested in other areas available
to allocate those funds according to its investment decision.
The factors affecting the investment decision are:
Economic conditions
Risk and uncertainty
Timing of the investment decision
Alternative Opportunities
Taxes
Funding sources
Working capital
cash flow
Behavior of competitors
Changes in the price level
Production mode
Management philosophy
Market analysis and sales forecasting according to measuring the
gap between supply and demand in the market
2) How to determine the company's strategy for investment
decisions?
It is well known that investing in the stock market depends on the
knowledge and skill gained from the experience that constitutes the
personality of the investor. Investing in the capital markets is like any investment in any
commercial or industrial activity in terms of knowledge. The secrets
of this sector, or a person cannot succeed in managing a restaurant
if he does not know the secrets of kitchen, supply and supply
management, and so the stock market cannot succeed without
experience and knowledge except by luck, which is something that
can be bet on unless you are a gambler, but what makes the
turnout for Investing in the stock markets is high and enjoys a large
number of investors is easy to enter and start, as it does not require
any permits from any party, no labor or large capital, and all this is
done within one day and now it is “online” as well.
(Al-Zubaidi, 2013)
4
With this great demand, inquiries from investors who do not have
the skill and experience are increasing about the optimal strategy to
invest in the market, and the answer is simply (in my view) that
there is no single optimal strategy that can be applied at all times in
the market and for each person, money markets are characterized
by dynamism, volatility and change according to circumstances.
The surrounding environment and the psychology of traders and
according to the economic situation, for example, when the
economy is in a state of strong growth and clarity for the future,
investment managers will build their strategies on focusing and not
completely on growth companies, because of the expectation that
these companies that have clear plans for growth will benefit from
the expected growth of the economy, therefore it is expected To
achieve higher performance and therefore a return than defense
companies, for example, and on the contrary, managers and
investors tend to defense companies “which are companies that are
characterized by the stability of their operations and revenues with
the presence of cash dividends” more than growth companies when
economic growth declines or in a recession or in a state Uncertainty
and uncertainty about the future.
This is an example of variation in the application of strategies and
about one variable or influence, which is the economic situation,
while there are other strategies with fluctuating feelings and
psychology of traders and a tendency to speculation, or due to the
expectation of exceptional growth for a particular sector and thus
the investor’s strategy changes, and there are strategies, methods
and schools as well for evaluation, among which are the most
popular flows Future cash or value method - Warren Buffett method
- or dividends or earnings multiples, book value and many more
without going into the details of each one.
All of what was mentioned was for the purpose of showing how
much investing in the financial markets needs knowledge and
experience that will reveal to the investor the best method and
strategy for him, especially understanding that what works for one
person may not fit another person.
Whoever is interested in achieving the return in less than a year,
and there are those who are interested in the existence of semi-
annual cash distributions, and others who are not interested in the
distributions as much as achieving a higher price after a period, this
is other than sectorial preferences, there are those who do not want
to invest in banks, and there are those who do not want to invest in
agricultural companies. (Al-Shawara, 2012)
Or legitimate preferences and others, then we can never talk about
a unified magic strategy for all and for all times. The investor must
find the strategy that suits him and can adhere to it with a
5
reasonable degree of flexibility in changing with changing economic
conditions as I mentioned previously.
3) A set of models that can influence investment strategy
and decisions
When an investor decides to invest in stocks or investment funds,
he can choose among the shares of many companies listed in the
financial markets, These available investments usually present
different levels of risk, and varying levels of returns.
And because the options available to the investor are many and
varied greatly and amount to dozens of stocks and investment funds
- the possibility of success for the investor is greater if he has a
specific strategy for choosing and choosing between these
investments.
Rather, his situation might be better if he adopted several
strategies, each of which corresponds to a different economic
circumstance.
For example
, an investor may use one strategy when the interest
rate is high, and another when the interest rate is low, Any general
investment strategy has several requirements, the first of which is
related to how the investor must allocate his invested assets to the
different investment categories, such as stocks, precious metals, or
real estate. The strategy should include controls for the purchase of investments
and others for the periods in which the investor wishes to keep
these investments. Finally, the investor should determine in his
strategy the appropriate level of risk in each of these investments.
The investor can, based on the nature of his personality, determine
from among several investment strategies which one is more
compatible with his personality, circumstances and investment
objectives. (Al-Zubaidi, 2013)
For example,
a strategy might include an approach focused on
acquiring growth stocks (stocks whose capitalizations are
growing),He may adopt another strategy that seeks to preserve the
capital, and focus on investments with lower risks.
Regardless of the strategy the investor chooses, it must be
compatible with his investment goals, such as retirement, buying a
home, doing a business, paying for graduate studies...etc.
For example
, if the investor is in his twenties, and is investing to
secure a pension for himself, he may resort, due to his young age,
to an open investment strategy that accepts a higher level of risk.
But if he is in his fifties, and is investing for the same purpose, his
strategy may be more conservative

. It is one of the models that can influence the strategy and
investment decisions
1) Allow time for strategy
Once the investor has finished defining his strategy in distributing
assets, he must give this strategy time to work and bear fruit, as the
investor's commitment to his plans is an important element for its
success. It may be desirable for the investor to maintain his chosen asset
allocation strategy for the entire economic cycle, bearing in mind
the need to retain some flexibility for change when good investment
opportunities become available.
2) Diversification of assets
Diversification, like asset allocation, is an important part of
managing an investment portfolio. Diversification and distribution of
assets have similar objectives and strategies, namely: distributing
money to different sectors, and reducing investment risks.
While asset allocation applies to spreading capital in a variety of
investment assets, such as stocks or cash, diversification means
buying a number of investments within one asset class.
If stocks, for example, represent part of your investments, you must
diversify your stocks or your investment funds to be able to achieve
sufficient diversification.
Diversification helps to keep the guesswork out of investment
decisions, and when the investor decides that the time is right to
rebalance the portfolio, there are several ways to do that, and all of
them may achieve the purpose. But the investor may prefer one
over the other.
(Al-Shawara, 2012)
To rebalance the portfolio, the investor can:
Selling part of the type of investment asset whose value has
increased significantly, and reinvesting its profits in another
asset that has not risen yet.
Changing the way in which the new investment funds added to
the portfolio are distributed, by placing them in other types of
assets whose prices are still below their fair values, until the
investor reaches the distribution that suits him.
Raising the capital of the investment portfolio, and allocating the
increase to fully invest in assets that are still below their fair
values.
Risk factors
7
There are many factors that cause investment risk, the most
common of which is volatility. Investment prices may fluctuate from
the highest to the lowest level without warning, meaning that the
price may fall below the price paid by the buyer. The problem of volatility is further complicated by the fact that it is
not predictable, nor can it have any effects on investments.
3) Follow up the performance of the investment portfolio
Monitoring the performance of the investment portfolio is
important because it helps to make the necessary
changes to the portfolio, If, for example, certain stocks
reduce the performance of the investor’s portfolio or
cause additional risks to the portfolio that are greater than
the investor can bear, then he can dispose of them and
invest in others.
Likewise, if the investment portfolio does not achieve the
minimum return that the investor wanted, he can then
partially or completely redistribute his investment assets,
or even increase the capital of his portfolio. It is customary
for most investors to review their investment portfolios
once a year.
The rules for the investor's follow-up to his investment
portfolio begin with his follow-up of the investment returns
of each group of companies belonging to a particular
sector and comparing their returns with the returns of the
index of that sector, and then he determines the average
return for the entire portfolio.
(Fater, 2010)

First: Almarai's financial strategy
The company said in a statement to "Tadawul" that the size of the
capital investment program for this plan in the targeted period is 21
billion riyals.
She added that this investment program will be financed from the
company's own resources and operational cash flows, which will
cover part of the funding needed for this program, in addition to
benefiting from other available funding sources such as banks, the
Saudi Industrial Development Fund, the Agricultural Development
Fund and Sukuk programs.
In its statement today, the company indicated that this plan
confirms Almarai's vision to make its products the preferred choice
for the consumer through its leadership in the target markets and
its provision of distinct foods and drinks that meet his needs.
She pointed out that one of the objectives of this plan is to continue
achieving sustainable growth in all major operating sectors and
geographical areas, in order to double the consolidated sales and
improve financial performance.
(Bayoumi, 2015)
She explained that the Board of Directors is confident of achieving
these ambitious goals, God willing, through specific strategies and
action plans for the main operating sectors (dairy, juices and
bakeries) and promising operating sectors (poultry and baby food
products), in addition to the operational operations of the joint
venture in Egypt and Jordan (International Dairy Company). and
juices(
The investment program aims to replace part of the current assets
and raise production capacities and capacities in farms,
manufacturing
facilities,
distribution,
transportation
and
geographical spread. It also aims to enhance the possibilities of
innovation, innovation and product development.
Second, the financial strategy of Savola
1)
Investments in the food sector
Savola invests its capital in the food sector and has spread its
operations in a number of countries in the region for nearly four
decades. During this period, Savola Foods succeeded in establishing
a strong presence in nearly 50 countries thanks to a diversified
portfolio of brands operating under a direct-to-consumer distribution
model. Savola also invests in a number of the largest food
companies in the Kingdom, including Almarai and Herfy.
(Al-Shawara,
2012)
2)
Investments in the retail sector
10
Savola's retail sector is owned by Panda Retail; Which is one of the
most important and leading companies in the Savola Group. She is
responsible for the investments the Group manages in the retail
sector, and its significant contributions to our profits and
consolidated ownership. Panda Retail's total sales reached 13.5
billion Saudi riyals in 2020
3)
Other Investments
In addition to the investments we manage in the food and retail
sectors, we seek to grow the company's capital with the help of our
investment portfolio, which includes investments not under the
management of Savola. Savola's largest investments, according to
its financial statements for the year 2020, are concentrated in
Almarai Company (of which we own 34.52% of its shares), Herfy
Food Services Company (49%) and Kinan International Real Estate
Development Company (29.9%).
3)Government
financial
strategies,
charitable
organizations and the private sector First: Financial strategy for charitable organizations
When we talk about financial strategy, the first thing that jumps to
mind is the endowment. Well the endowment is important, but it is
not all that the concept of financial strategy in the charitable sector
means! Even with owning endowments, the charitable organization
faces two major challenges, the first of which is that it works for the
benefit of societies with growing needs, and the second is that it
lives in a competitive sector in which the old and the new seek their
share of the pie. The importance of talking about the financial strategy lies in the fact
that the majority of charitable organizations depend on external
financial support sources such as governments, donor institutions
and merchants, and these sources, despite their generosity, are
uncertain in the long run. Financial Sustainability is defined as the
financial situation in which the charitable organization is able to
continue to achieve its charitable mission in the long term, hence
the importance of the financial strategy as a condition for the
survival of the charitable organization itself and its ability to bring
about the desired change in the target on the ground. The life and
life of the charitable organization. (Fater, 2010)
Although the financial strategy is a condition for the sustainability of
the charitable organization in general, the charitable organization is
required to balance between achieving financial solvency and
achieving the charitable message, and this is really one of the
challenges for the charitable organization, as the preoccupation with
11
strengthening the financial position of the organization should not
be at the expense of achieving the charitable message for which it
was founded' organization and vice versa. Therefore, the leaders and executives of charitable organizations
are called to adopt a strategic model that integrates the efficiency
of the financial and capital performance of their organizations. And the importance of the concept of financial strategy, but in fact it
is just a result of the charitable organization’s possession of what is
called financial capacity, and the concept of financial capacity
includes the charitable organization’s possession of tools that give it
the ability to expand opportunities and deal with unexpected risks
while managing its usual operations. The financial capacity has several internal and external
manifestations, and one of the signs of internal financial capacity is
that the organization owns sources of income generation, such as
endowments, investments, selling goods and services, membership,
and others.
A sign of external financial capacity is that the sources of support
for the organization are diverse. As one indicator of the financial
health of the charity, 60 percent of a charity's budget should come
from at least five different sources, experts say. Financial ability extends beyond the aforementioned financial tools
to non-financial tools, including the charitable organization's
possession of Marketing Knowhow, as the financial strategy and
marketing cannot be separated. In order for a charitable
organization to be able to attract, retain and grow generous donors
into supporters, it must possess a high level of knowledge and
marketing capacity.

Analysis of the impact of foreign exchange risks
on organizations
1) Explain how the foreign exchange market operates and
how this can influence business and regulatory decisions.
The place in which the exchange of various international currencies
takes place is considered buying and selling, and the exchange
market is not like other financial or commercial markets, as it is not
specified in a specific place that brings together the seller and the
buyer. Rooms) in banks operating in various financial centers such
as: New York, London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, San
Francisco, Sydney, Zurich, Toronto, Brussels, Bahrain, Hong Kong ...
etc., and acts as a network that tends to unify the field international
economic.
Dealing rooms in banks are equipped with information devices such
as Reuter Monitor, Dow Jones, etc., which display on their screens
the immediate changes that occur in the rates of different
currencies and interest rates on deposits in free currencies for
different periods over a period of 24 hours.
The dealing between banks in the field of foreign exchange takes
place either for their own account: when they cover their exposed
positions in foreign currencies or in their attempts to achieve profits
from speculative operations in foreign exchange, or they participate
in the market as intermediary institutions between their exporting
and importing clients.
(Bayoumi, 2015)
The conversion ratio between currencies carried out by banks is a
metaphor for the relative rates of currencies and is often known as
exchange rates or exchange rates (Cours de change, taux de
change).
These rates fluctuate from day to day (au jour le jour) according to
changes in the supply and demand of currencies, and traditionally a
distinction is made between bilatéraux and effective exchange
rates.
1) Bilateral or dual exchange rate: It is the rate of currency A in
relation to currency B. If it is said, for example, that the US dollar
is equal to 105.70 Japanese yen (11/25/1999), this means
showing the state of the double spot exchange rate of the US
dollar in relation to the Japanese yen.
13
2) Effective exchange rate: for currency A is a weighted average
(Moyenne pondérée) of the bilateral or dual exchange rates of A
for the currencies of the countries with which the issuing country
of currency A has trade relations, and the weighting rates, at the
weighted average rate are related to the relative shares of
bilateral trade in trade the total international profile of the
country concerned.
(Al-Shawara, 2012)
3)
It is possible to move from the actual exchange rate to the real
effective exchange rate, the latter being the actual exchange
rate corrected after taking into account the balance of inflation
rates with the same trading partners. 2) Analysis of the impact of foreign exchange risks on
organizations
Transactions in foreign currencies put you at the mercy of
fluctuations in exchange rates. If the volatility is in a certain
direction, you can reap the gains. Either if the volatility is in the
other direction, your profits will be greatly affected.
There are six ways to manage foreign exchange risk
For each item, state the amount it is currently worth according to
the exchange rate between your local currency and the foreign
currency. You can use these numbers to create different scenarios
and test how volatility can help or hurt your profits. For example,
what would happen if your local currency suddenly fell by 20
percent against the other currencies you are exposed to? Can your
cash flow continue.
1)
Request payment in your local currency
This would place the burden on your customers to bear the risk of
fluctuations in the exchange rate. Although it is a simple solution, it
can make it difficult to do business if competitors are willing to offer
customers less risky transactions in their local currency.
2) Prioritize instant payments
Setting payment terms to a shorter term can reduce the amount of
time you are exposed to the currency market. Your goal should also
be to bridge the gap between agreeing deals with consumers,
customers, and suppliers and settling transactions for those deals.
(Al-Alawi, 2018)
3) Raising the price further to take into account possible
fluctuations
14
If a customer's currency fluctuations are 3 percent annually relative
to your currency, you can be charged an additional 3 percent fee in
that country. This may not work if volatility becomes more than 3
percent or if the market does not support this increase, but other
than that, it can help you manage risk.
(Al-Shawara, 2012)
4)
Take into account important risk metrics
The following are the most common tools for measuring
foreign exchange risk:
Value at Risk (VaR) - an estimate of how much you could lose or
gain under normal currency market conditions during a specified
period.
Cash Flow At Risk (CFaR) - How the future cash flow may change
during a specified period as a result of fluctuations in the foreign
exchange market.
Earnings at Risk (EaR) - how much your revenue can change over
a specified period based on past earnings numbers. The longer
the time period, the higher the foreign exchange risk.
These accounts are worth considering if a large proportion of
your business depends on imports, exports or foreign
investment.
Fixed rate locking
There are financial products that you can use to set an exchange
rate so that you know exactly the value of the transaction when
you make it.
The forward contract for the purchase of currencies locks in the
exchange rate of a future transaction, thus protecting against
any unfavorable fluctuations. However, if the rates fluctuate in
such a way that you will save or make money, you must stick to
the rate you have agreed with your bank.
(Al-Zubaidi, 2013)
3) Foreign exchange markets and their impact on the
restructuring of companies
Yes, foreign exchange markets may affect the financing and then
affect the restructuring of the company. Applying to Almarai
Company, we find:
Assets acquired to collect contractual cash flows and sell financial
assets, in which the assets' cash flows represent payments of
principal and interest only, are measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income. Changes in carrying value are recognized
through other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains
or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses,
which are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Upon initial recognition of investments in equity instruments that
are not held for trading, the group has the right to finally elect to
15

account for these investments in equity instruments at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
Upon derecognition of the financial asset, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, is
reclassified from equity to the consolidated statement of income,
and is recognized within other profit/(loss). The interest income from
these financial assets is also included in finance income using the
effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses
are included in other income/expenses.
(Al-Ansari, 2016)
Any related transaction costs are recognized in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss as incurred. Fair values are obtained by
reference to quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and
pricing models, as applicable.
After initial recognition, any change in fair value is recognized on
the basis of hedge accounting, and the group identifies its
derivatives as hedging instruments in qualifying hedge relationships
to manage exposures to interest rate, foreign exchange and
commodity price risks, including exposures arising from highly
probable prospect transactions and firm commitments. . In order to
manage certain risks, the Group applies hedge accounting for
transactions that meet specified criteria. Select and criticize cash used in planning and
control over the working capital

Good working capital management protects the establishment of

It considers the cornerstone of the financial administration for
contributing companies. It helps them develop and grow the
economic activities. The worker capital helps contribute to excess
profit and from its position on the market among other companies.
(Al-Ansari, 2016)
2) Determining the risks where the working capital
management is not applied and reasons to make systems
to monitor the working capital.
Corporate finance is a branch of funding branches dealing with
financial decisions taken by businesses, and analysis tools used in
the industry of these decisions. The main objective of corporate
finance is to enhance the value of the company and its financial
impact management.
Although it differs from financial management, which deals with the
financial decisions of all companies, not specific company, the
concepts of key corporate finance can be applied to the problems of
all its own financial companies.
The material can be divided into two parts: long-term decisions and
methods, short-term decisions and methods. Investment resolutions
capital is long-term options through investment returns, and the
resolution is either financing this investment with capital or debt, or
distributed to shareholders in a profit. On the other hand, short-term
decisions can be under the title "Working Capital Management". This issue deals with a short-term balance of existing assets and
liabilities. The focus is on liquidity management, inventory lists,
borrowing and short-term lending (such as credit customer
conditions.
Corporate financing conditions and companies are associated with
investment banking services. The main role of the Bank's
investment is in the evaluation of the financial needs of the
company and gots capital which is commensurate with those needs.
17
This area is associated with corporate funding in two ways. First, the
company's exposure to risks directly from funding and investment
resolutions. Second, these decisions aim to enhance or maintain the
company's value. All large companies include risk management
teams, and small companies also practice risk management
unofficially.
Derivatives are the most commonly used tools in financial risk
management. This is because derivatives are expensive in
construction and monitoring. The most effective financial risk
management means is an impact on derivatives, which are usually
available in strong financial markets. These tools include options,
futures, and cruelty. (Fater, 2010)
3) Criticism of systems and methods used for working
capital planning.
Decisions relating to the workplace and short-term funding are
referred to as working capital management and include the
management of the relationship between short-term company
assets and short-term responsibilities.
Therefore, corporate funding aims to enhance the value of the
company. In the long term, investment decisions are promoted by
capital value through investments with appropriate positive net
value. These investments affect cash flow and capital cost.
The working capital management aims to ensure the company's
ability to work, in addition to sufficient cash liquidity to pay long and
short-term debt and operational expenses. The company value is
enhanced when the return on capital exceeds the value of capital
cost.
Decision making standards
Working capital is the amount of capital available to the
organization. This means that working capital is the difference
between cash resources or which can be converted into money
(traded assets) and cash needs (current debt), Thus, the decisions
associated with capital are short-term decisions.
Capital resolutions are different from investment decisions in terms
of time and profits. (This is in addition to other considerations such as enterprise risk
management and return targets that remain as they are, although
there are some restrictions, such as those imposed by loans of
conventions.
The working capital management decisions are then made
according to the same bases on which long-term decisions. The
working capital management applies different standards in decision-

making: (1) cash / liquidity flow, and (2) profitability / return on
capital (and the most important cash flow.
Cash conversion cycle is more common measurement methods. This
is the time difference between cash payment for raw materials and
collected funds from sales. The cash transfer cycle reflects the
company's ability to convert its resources into cash.
(Al-Alawi, 2018)
This is because this figure shows the time of the company's capital
to be unavailable for any other activities, so management is usually
aimed at achieving a little net account. (There is another measure
called total operating cycles, which is the same money transfer
cycle, but does not take into account the delay period of creditors).
In this context, the return on capital (ROC) is more profitable
measurement methods. The result is shown as a percentage
identified through the company's income for 12 months, by working
capital; The return on shareholders (REE) also shows this result of
the company's shareholders. Thus, the value of the company is
enhanced when the return on capital exceeds the cost of capital.
The ROC measures are therefore a useful administrative tool
because they reach short-term policy and long-term policy in
decision-making.

Evaluation and identification of appropriate strategies for
restructuring
1) Dangerous assessment of available funding options for
companies when looking to restructure their business,
including integration and acquisition strategies
HR Strategies Training and Development Strategies These
strategies include:
Train employees to take on new roles.
Providing current employees with development opportunities to
prepare them for future jobs in the organization.
Training and development needs can be met in a number of
ways, this may include sending an employee to take courses or
certification, or it may be accomplished through on-the-job
training.
Many training and development needs can be met
through
cost-effective
technologies.
Recruitment
Strategies These strategies are: Recruiting new employees with skills and capabilities that the
organization will need in the future Consider all options available to strategically promote vacant
positions and encourage suitable candidates to apply. Every time
you hire, you should look at the requirements from a strategic
perspective. For example,
if an organization has many supervisors who are
nearing retirement age, your hiring strategy should include hiring
employees who have the potential to take on a supervisory role in
the near future. (Al-Zubaidi, 2013)
Outsourcing
Strategies In these strategies,
the
organization:
Many organizations look outside their pool of employees and
contract for certain skills. This is particularly useful for
accomplishing specific, specialized tasks that do not require
continuous full-time work. Some organizations outsource their
human resource activities or project work.
For example
, the payroll may be conducted by an outside
organization rather than an employee, a short-term project may be
undertaken with a consultant, or specific expertise such as legal
advice may be purchased from an outside source. Collaboration Strategies The strategic HR planning process may lead
to the application of indirect strategies that bypass your
organization by collaborating with other organizations to deal with
specific skill shortages.
Examples of collaboration include:
20
Work with other organizations to prepare future leaders by
participating in the development of promising individuals.
Sharing training costs for groups of employees.
Allow employees to visit other organizations to gain skills.
Restructuring Strategies If your assessment indicates a skill
surplus, there are a variety of options open to help improve.
These strategies include:
Reducing the number of employees.
Regrouping tasks to create well-designed jobs.
(Bayoumi, 2015)
2) Identify the risks involved in pursing different financial
options in pursuit of corporate re-structuring.
Financial excesses happen when planners can't see the whole
picture. For example, it may seem that eliminating an entire
organization is the best solution to reduce cost. But when the full
details come out including severance payments, equipment and
hardware packages, and other costs, the initial plan can be more
expensive than the organization can afford. This means that
alternative plans must be sought, and that without full cost
transparency, organizations are at risk of significant financial
overruns. Also, ill-advised administrative processes can expose
organizations to financial risks.
In the absence of a technical solution to manage reorganizations
and restructurings, organizations are throwing people into the huge
tasks of documenting, tracking, and communicating. But people are
not perfect. The high volume of details and long hours quickly
swallow up resources, leading to errors. A small mistake, such as an
incorrect date, can result in thousands of dollars in overpayments or
costly delays. It is not acceptable for employees to continue to
receive their salaries after separation because the systems have not
been properly updated. Also, the delay in paying salaries increases
the cost. In the end, all this translates into wasted money.
The financial risks of restructuring are numerous. To mitigate these
risks, better leaders use a system that provides complete
transparency at every stage of the process. As at any stage, the
system can save the expected costs and progress towards the next
plan, and provide a sensitive view of the factors that can affect the
cost, such as adopting a series of optional procedures, benefits for
affected employees, and dealing with groups away from risk. To
effectively manage financial risk, decision makers need a complete
view at the end, from objectives to outreach services. Only then can
a complete reorganization or restructuring be managed proactively.
(Al-Shawara, 2012)

dairy farm that accommodates 7,500 dairy cows and opens the way
for further expansion of the herd numbers. The administrative
structure of Almarai poultry farms was unified, and broiler
production recorded a growth of 9.33%.
Over the years, Almarai's company structure witnessed a rapid
development, during which it moved from its work through separate
business units to a more harmonious interactive style. The current
organizational structure achieves greater harmony across all levels,
from the lowest to the highest, and in the various departments.
Achieving this step was one of the most important goals of the
company due to the importance of exchanging experiences and the
open door policy in helping
To establish a culture of dialogue and interactive participation,
simple initiatives such as these make everyone feel more respect
for others in the company.
Almarai employs employees of forty different nationalities, which
means that nurturing cultural diversity through teamwork helps us
all gain a deeper understanding of subtle cultural differences.
Almarai also has a better organizational structure than before, which
makes turning innovation into reality more efficient and easier. At
the same time, we enjoy the presence of community spirit among all
employees, which enables us to work smarter and thus supports
achieving the best business results.
