Comments and Questions:
The thesis fulfills the requirements given on this type of academic work. The author stated a clear goal and methods for achieving it. The topic is interesting and through the research, the author has been able to present it in extended relations. The thesis is divided into three logical parts that allowed the author to collect relevant information based on literature review and to apply what he has learned in the respective courses from the theoretical approaches to the research of this kind. The conclusions of the thesis correspond to the research, are clear, and confirm the author´s self-reliance. The author worked on his thesis gradually during the whole academic year and step by step improved his work based on the consultation with the supervisor. I propose the grading in an interval excellent – very good, depending on the performance at the defense. Questions for the defence discussion: 1) What do you see as the main obstacle for entering the UAE market, specifically Dubai? 2) Which areas are the most prospective for doing business in Dubai? What would you recommend to be avoided in doing business there?
Conclusion: The Bachelor Thesis is recommended for the defence.
Suggested Grade: 2
