The document recommends conducting a study to identify critical resources, establish an approved supplier list, enable collective bargaining, and strategically place supply chain centers to support the large-scale railway development in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
The document summarizes two major infrastructure projects in Kuwait - the Kuwait National Rail Road (KNRR) project and the Kuwait Metropolitan Rapid Transit System (KMRT) project. It provides an overview of each project, including objectives, technical details of routes and phases, procurement structure, and current status. Both projects are being developed using public-private partnerships and will be overseen by the newly established Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects according to Kuwait's new PPP law.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

18. What does all this technological VUCA have to do with the construction industry?
•Unfortunately, not much at the moment…
Historically late adopter of technology
•Nearly universal adoption of CAD and communication / collaboration tools and technologies
•Many product innovations in downstream supply chain are specified, procured and incorporated into built assets
And yet, in our way of working to deliver built assets, do we
•Design…
•Procure…
•Construct…

•Expensive labor wields political power and resists innovation that would increase labour productivity (translation: kill jobs)
Emerging Markets:
•Cheap labor diminishes impetus toward innovation
Hypercompetitive marketplace.
•Tender regulations and instructions often very prescriptive, limiting process innovation
•Low bidder wins. Increasing margin compression restraining resources for R&D, stifling innovation
