The use of computer technology should be made a part of school curricula from the earliest grades through the university level. The Spread of Islamic Secularism and The Lack Of Commercial Growth in the Middle East Tukar points out one of the problems facing Middle Eastern citizens who carry with them the entrepreneurial spirit. “Resistance from secularists of various shades fuels political instability. As the experiences of Sudan,Algeria, and Iraq demonstrate, people with skills and initiative move out of politically volatile areas, carrying with them their entrepreneurial talents. Although relatively pragmatic forms of Islamism are associated with upward mobility, its militant forms are manifestly harmful to entrepreneurial performance.” Political volatility is not the sole factor that motivates migration; commercial instability along with hardened cultural norms discourage entrepreneurs. Over the past decade the Middle East has suffered from poorly regulated equity markets and limited transparency with IPO transaction. While the corporate workplace is still maturing with cultural tribalism creeping into office politics not to mention many business ethics and human resource policies taken for granted in the West are only now beginning to materialize. Not only doesTukar’s conclusion make logical sense, we have empirical evidence to demonstrate that, indeed, those potential innovators and entrepreneurs are more apt to abandon a region of political and commercial instability for destinations that provide an environment more conducive to business and entreprenuerial development. 9 www.digitaldaya.com
