Businesses in Saudi Arabia always compete against family and friends

Ali H. Alireza, Managing Director of Haji Husein Alireza talks about family business in Saudi Arabia.

He says, “In Saudi Arabia, you’ll find that you are always competing against your good friends or families, so you consider them as colleagues. In the business realm, you do your best, look at your market share, target areas for growth, and go after that. Of course, when somebody gains markets shares somebody else loses them, but that’s how business goes. I think there is plenty of business for everyone in a growing business environment: if the market is growing then you’re increasing market share without anybody losing shares.”
