Without them, it becomes difficult to maintain customer value and to serve with a competitive advantage. Supply chain disruptions are always expected to occur due to the demand for certain products either decreasing or increasing. In recent years, we have experienced a mass supply chain disruption that has affected businesses worldwide. The Covid-19 pandemic took the economy by storm and has changed the way business owners view the marketplace. Market uncertainty was at an all-time high, leading business owner to re-assess their operations. Both consumer and supplier behavior were changing the way these markets were fluctuating. The intensity of consumer purchasing behaviors was beginning to shift the demand curve. Localization of supply became a more seemingly popular way to counteract product shortages. The creation of new technologies will also help industries to be more prepared and manufacture products more efficiently. Furthermore, supply chains can be unpredictable and there are many ways in which the marketplace can be ready for those moments of uncertainty. The past few years have really opened a new lens and gave businesses a new point of view on what can be expected. As for now, preparing for the future is a great place to start and will help us continue a path to a successful economy. Thus, the goal of this research is to identify and explore different businesses tactics and procedures to help explore the effects of the supply chain disruptions on the public.

One powerful tool that businesses can learn from and utilize to potentially foster such advantages is game theory. Further, we have thoroughly researched previous studies and determined three areas in which competitive advantages can be derived from the implementation and understanding of game theory principles. These include improved decision-making, supply chain management, and employee management. Our goal is to analyze the works of experts on the subject to further our understanding of the topic. This research will provide a foundation for the subsequent justifications on how game theory can be utilized to create the competitive advantages we specified. Reviewing our findings has led the researcher to believe that firms of any variety looking to improve their decision-making, supply chain management, and/or employee management could find great value, if not create fully realized competitive advantages, from taking game theory and its observations into consideration.

To start the project the idea was analyzing the historical aspect and evolutions of leadership styles, generations and workplace and, crossing them, understand which characteristics were important to define which style of leadership and management was more successful. After that, with some analyses of generation Z, trending for the market and the workplace, this project will propose the appropriate leadership style of generation Z. The method used to validate this idea was case study and analyses with quantitative and qualitative approach. To obtain the data a survey applied with 68 teenagers between 14 and 24 years old. Most of the teenagers were female (70%), with a median age of 17 years. The result obtained at the end of this project in terms of personal traits, workplace characteristics and leadership preferences were very varied which draws the conclusion that the leader should be able to lead simultaneously different types of employees, with different characteristics, skills, values and behaviors, it's not being possible defined a single leadership style to leader in the future.

It will also uncover how different integrated processes and employee relations will help a business to grow. Various topics ranging from enterprise resource planning, integrated planning in supply chains, the non-linear approach, innovation and digitalization coupled with cross training and empowerment, Human resources, and Manager Employee relations complement each other and could bring an organization together. Various thought processes and intellectual reasoning skills were instrumental in all consideration of this project. Many antiquated processes were changed over the years to update operations in the business world where conventional means were not effective. Integrating product planning and employee planning optimized operations both in the product and service industry and I will accent many of these optimizations. With recent technological advances and human relations tactics, project management and organization has been streamlined and works more productively than its predecessors. Regardless of the industry, integrated process planning, and cross employee planning could possible turn a dinosaur into a competitive part of the economy. I. Enterprise Resource Planning Program The introduction of the Enterprise Resource Planning software revolutionized the production industry. The software integrated many departments of the business bringing them together harmoniously. Many planning stages were changed when this software was brought to light. The ERP allowed organizations to effectively plan and coordinate many operations in the business to limit spending money and time on resources. The ERP also allowed organizations to plan assets according to the project and the projects deadlines. By sharing information over several areas, the ERP organized project management by calibrating information such as inventory control. By using the current inventory levels in its information analysis, the ERP could forecast how many items could be produced by estimating how many parts were available to complete a total product. By using this information, inventory control managers could make an in-time decision whether to order more products or wait to replenish their inventory levels. Management would also be allowed to make real time decisions whether a product is a liability to a company or a benefit. Processes of control and contribution called for up to date reporting from the ERP and could rely on the information given by the ERP to make profitable business decisions. Secondary to product production, the ERP also allows other facets of the organization to optimize. Financial reports generated from the ERP will allow companies to examine cost control analysis, capital investment opportunities, asset management, and debt management. (Reid & Sanders, 2016) Organizations were able to see the operations cost and availability in real time and were able to update projections according to this information. The organizations upper management team would use this module to assess the pros and cons of adopting a new product line or expanding on an existing product to include improvements to design, functionality, and the trends that their consumers were following. In many cases, the ERP was the main reason why a project was funded or dismissed. Financial departments could project cash flows, depreciation levels, and investment rate of return by utilizing the ERP. When and organization uses the ERP the financial side of the business can be planned and forecasted to ensure that they remain profitable. The most important part of the ERP is that the programs are fully functional. (Reid & Sanders, 2016)The ERP allows other parts of the organization to react to a change in inventory levels, sales, purchases, and inputs by immediately reporting the changes to other departments. If a sale of an item is made during the process of operations, other departments are notified, and they can adjust process to that sale. If one thousand units of an item were sold, the accounting department can account for the sale and record the transaction as revenue. The inventory department can

The global mindset, which often includes a rise in entrepreneurship is one of the key markers toward growth within a nation. Countries that have much potential economically, such as Saudi Arabia, have fallen behind in economic development over the years in the area of entrepreneurship primarily due to the lack of early entrepreneurial education, policies, and culture. More recently, however, the country’s 2030 vision has been the impetus for entrepreneurs to gain support through funding, policy changes, and support through the expansion of the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Jeddah, the largest port city in the Mecca (Hejaz) Region of Saudi Arabia, has taken the lead within the ecosystem, not only contributing to the growth of the country, but also to the regional economic development of the MENA region. The purpose of this research is to ...
