The Need for Change in an Organization: A Case Study of STC

Saudi Telecom Company (STC) is one of the many companies that have undergone significant organizational change over the last few years. STC is the largest provider of telecommunication services in the Middle East. It has an estimated 29.2 million subscribers, which translates to 71.6 percent of its market share (Raghu, Ramesh & Khanna, 2015). The company currently provides services to its customers through contact centers and online platforms. To survive the fierce competition in the market, the STC has always been determined to keep pace with recent technological trends. It was the first Telco giant to introduce 4G technology in several countries in the Middle East. Over the years, it has successfully penetrated and dominated markets across Asia. The company's internationalization process includes mergers, acquisitions, partnerships and direct investment.

Ethicality of Studying Human Remains That Have Been Repatriated

Since they are physical traces of people who were once living, human remains are quite different from other types of archeological evidence. Human remains attract ethical considerations over and above those that are given to other materials. The management of collected human remains has always been a complex area where decisions need to balance the needs of scientific inquiry and broader public interest against the wish of many parties, including the claimants. Debates have raged on for a long time regarding the study of human remains that have been repatriated. Different museums differ in the interpretation of that debate, and while many of them argue it is ethical, some of them maintain that the study is unethical (Marshall). 

The study of human remains that have been repatriated is ethical as long as there are no claimant groups that demonstrate close genealogical links with the remains. However, it would be unethical to study them without the permission of claimants that have proven close genealogical links with the remains.
