01 / ABOUT THIS VOLUME
Building the Modern UAE Economy.
The enterprises and sectors that converted infrastructure, capital and connectivity into the operating UAE economy.
This volume forms part of a five-volume examination of the economic history of the United Arab Emirates. It traces historical developments in their economic context and examines what can be learned from the decisions, capabilities, institutions, enterprises and opportunities that shaped them.
Read the volume as a historical study and as a foundation for understanding how economic circumstances can change through the creation and development of productive capabilities.
02 / WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS
Economic history through an entrepreneurial lens.
From coastal trade and oil discoveries to infrastructure, markets and enterprise development, the history of the United Arab Emirates presents a rich record of economic transformation.
The purpose of this work is to understand the historical mechanisms behind that transformation and consider what entrepreneurs can learn from them. Historical evidence comes first; the contemporary perspective of Entrepreneurial Business Architecture is applied retrospectively and does not attribute modern frameworks to historical actors.
