Report on: Growth in GUST
This report is on Gulf University for Science and Technology. It is to benefit the university to know what it will face when growing in Kuwait. This report will provide users with information and ideas for expanding. The main purpose is to help make a decision whether to expand or not.
Expanding any business costs a lot of money, for example when opening new branches across Kuwait for GUST, it will include many costs such as:
1- Equipment for the building
2- Land
3- Goods
4- Labor
5- Employees & staff for the university
6- Salary for the employees and workers
All of these costs have cost benefits:
1- More students will apply at GUST
2- Charging higher prices for subjects
3- Diversification of students and employees
4- Reputation
5- Less crowded venue & parking lots
6- Customers satisfaction (Students)
7- Opening new majors & sections
8- New branches (local)
9- New branches abroad (Middle East)
Other benefits:
1- Someday GUST might become globalized
Problems:
When GUST expands, an issue of controlling and management may arise. For example, if currently GUST is functioning very well, a good leader like Mr. Sabah Al-Qudoumi is responsible for all of the good decisions.
It will be difficult for new managers to be able to do the same in the new branches. New leaders will have new approaches and this shouldn’t mean the worst or the best. But the managers must monitor at all times, as there will be key indicators, to imply if the decision made is a good one or bad.
How are you growing?
We are growing in terms of expanding our locations locally at first.
We also want to add new major departments, example:
1. Engineering Majors – computer engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering
2. Art & Design Majors – art history,
