Intelligent SME Magazine - October - November 2013

In this issue

In the current edition, we have Tony Jashanmal taking us through the three generations of their family business. Another interesting interview featured in this edition is that of Gerald Lawless, who had such an important role in taking the Jumeirah Group to such great heights, as he redefined leisure and luxury for travellers coming to Dubai. We also reported on things that SMEs closely follow like the SAP MENA SME summit organised in Turkey. We also featured a curtain raiser on the 2013 SME 100 rankings in this edition. The SME 100 initiative started in 2011 has managed to become quite a phenomenon in just a matter two years, with the SMEs in the UAE queuing up to feature in the latest ranks. We have done an in-depth feature on what one should look forward to in the next rankings, scheduled for release on November 9, 2013. We have taken a close look at the history and the making of these rankings, constructing a report on how companies have benefitted from being ranked. Happy reading.
