Very Funny
Posted by Khaled B on Friday 30 January 2009 at 03:54 UAE time


It is very funny to read the list at this in this world. Arabian Business, after reading this, I think you lost credibility in my eyes.
Please keep in mind that some companies deserve to be there, but never the less, it is very shameful to see the list and how this website / magazine conducted its analysis.
Hilarious ! ! hast to be the moon

Absolutely Hilarious,  
 
On what subjective criteria ? 
Please your insulting our business intelligence 
 
Yet no advertising agencies in the middle east -  
you have to be joking.... 
 
Yet you place The One - ( have you ever visited ? )  
 
Come on your supposed to be a business news link 
Arabian Business or Arabian Comedy
List of funnies
Posted by Enas, Bahrain on Sunday 19 August 2007 at 14:00 UAE time

This should be called the list of companies that spend most of their operational budgets on advertising. False Advertising at that.
WE all know how it works
Posted by yusuf on Saturday 21 July 2007 at 01:00 UAE time


After reading a survey recently done by a leading Kuwaiti Newspaper which asked 3 top CEOs of Kuwaiti Companies (only 3 agreed to participate because of the “sensitivity of the issue “) how they viewed the way business magazines rated companies and issued awards, the basic consensus was, if you advertise, or contribute to the economic advancement of the publication, then your company be rated favorably. This was recently published in the Alqabas News paper.
