Item Restricted Supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for Financial Sustainability and Risk Mitigation in Saudi Arabia: A Vision 2030 Perspective(Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Alanazi, Mamdouh; Fakhrul, HassenThis study examines the determinants of financial sustainability among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia, guided by the national economic transformation agenda under Vision 2030. Integrating the Resource-Based View (RBV), Institutional Theory, and Risk Management Theory, the research investigates how internal capabilities, the institutional environment, and risk management practices influence financial sustainability. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 211 SME owners and managers across various sectors. The quantitative dataset was analyzed using SPSS, applying reliability analysis, correlation tests, and multiple linear regression.4 0Item Restricted Sustainability and Risk Management in Saudi Arabia’s Giga Projects: A Case Study of NEOM(Saudi Digital Library, 2025) ALSHEHRI, BADER AWADH; Hasan, FakhrulThis study critically investigates the sustainability practices, risk governance frameworks, and financial mechanisms underpinning NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s flagship giga-project under Vision 2030. Using a qualitative case study approach, supported by semi-structured interviews with ten domain experts, the research explores how sustainability is conceptualised and operationalised, how environmental, financial, and geopolitical risks are governed, and how the Public Investment Fund (PIF) influences financing and ESG integration. Thematic analysis in NVivo identified four overarching themes: sustainability conceptualisation and strategic alignment, risk landscape and governance structures, financing mechanisms and ESG integration, and future improvements through measurement frameworks. Findings reveal that while NEOM embeds ambitious sustainability goals, such as renewable energy and hydrogen production, governance gaps remain in risk management, stakeholder inclusivity, and financial transparency. Theoretically, the study extends the application of the Triple Bottom Line, Stakeholder Theory, and Institutional Theory to giga-project governance, illustrating how sustainability functions both as substance and symbolic branding in state-led development. Practically, the research highlights the need for enforceable regulatory frameworks, transparent ESG disclosure, and robust performance metrics to transform NEOM from a reputational project into a credible global model of sustainable urbanism.5 0Item Restricted Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Sustainable Infrastructure Development in Saudi Arabia: A Risk-Reward Analysis from a Project Management and Contracting Perspective(Saudi Digital Library, 2025) Alanzi, Mashal Johim; Hasan, FakhrulThis study investigates the dynamics of risk and reward allocation, governance, and technological enablers in Saudi Arabia’s Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) within the framework of Vision 2030. Using a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis in NVivo, the research identified 13 initial codes consolidated into four overarching themes: risk–reward mechanisms, project management and governance, institutional and technological enablers, and international best practices. Findings reveal that while PPPs are central to infrastructure delivery, risk allocation in Saudi Arabia remains highly government-centric, often undermined by opaque communication and weak project management capacity. Governance reforms, such as the PSP Law, provide a legal basis, yet institutional fragmentation and regulatory overlaps persist. Technology, including blockchain and AI, is recognised as a potential enabler of transparency but remains at a largely symbolic stage. Comparative analysis highlights that international best practices can inform Saudi PPPs only when adapted to the Kingdom’s socio-economic and institutional context. The study advances PPP scholarship by providing a context-specific understanding of governance and risk-sharing in emerging markets, integrating technology as a dual enabler, and offering practical recommendations for policymakers, investors, and project managers.1 0Item Restricted JOB SATISFACTION, JOB CHARACTERISTIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF EXPATRIATE EMPLOYEES IN QATAR(Saudi Digital Library) REFAAN ALI S AL THAIBAN; Dr.Rami Zeitun21 0
