  • Cotton, Finance and Business Networks in a Globalised World: the Case of Egypt During the First Half of the Twentieth Century
    Cotton, Finance and Business Networks in a globalised World: The Case of Egypt during the First Half of the Twentieth Century Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy International Business & Strategy, Henley Business School Akram Beniamin November 2019 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Akram Beniamin i Abstract Firms and entrepreneurs were key drivers of the globalisation of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This thesis investigates commodity networks, foreign banking and business networks, as three manifestations of the first global economy, in Egypt. The country was integrated into the world economy by exporting cotton, importing foreign capital, and hosting a large foreign community. The thesis shows that the Egyptian cotton network was sophisticated as market participants were spatially dispersed. The network was instrumentally coordinated by foreign banks that provided the crucial functions of intermediating the flows of cotton, finance, and information. Departing from the literature that portrays foreign banks in developing countries as manifestations of imperialism and exploitation of host countries, the thesis demonstrates that the history of these banks in Egypt does not conform to this rhetoric. The case of the Ionian Bank reveals that foreign banks in Egypt were businesses that sought profits and faced many risks and challenges. Some risks were uncontrollable and negatively affected banks’ performance, which was shaped by trade-off between opportunity and risk appetite. The analysis of the interlocking directorates of the Egyptian corporate and elite networks demonstrates that these networks, predominantly controlled by local foreigners, served as a basis for coordinating and maintaining collective interests.

Queen Cleopatra is one of the most famous female rul- ers in history. She is an icon of Egypt’s great and ancient civilization. Cleopatra’s rule was marked by prosperity and peace. Over hundreds of years, historians have referred to Cleopatra as “Philopatris”: “She who loves her country”. Cleopatra ruled as part of the Ptolemaic dynasty from 51- 30 B.C. Ancient Egyptian civilization is renowned for the ground-breaking accomplishments it made in the fields of art and architecture, engineering, medicine, and statecraft. It was one of the earliest civilizations ever to show respect to human rights. Ancient Egyptians were the first to acknowledge man’s right to life; they had even applied the principle of equality to the entire population. Egyptians were equal before the law, with- out discrimination between the rich and the poor. Ancient Egyptian rulers were known to hold knowledge in high value, equally encouraging men and women to pursue a proper education. 2 ANNUAL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014/2015 ANNUAL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014/2015 3 BUSINESSES SHOULD SUPPORT AND RESPECT THE PROTECTION OF INTERnatiOnally PROCLAIMED HUMAN RIGHTS Ancient Egyptians were pioneers in applying the human resource management techniques in real life.

    Mr. Mohamed Kamal El Din Barakat Chairman During the fiscal year 2004/2005, the Egyptian government undertook significant structural reforms to the financial and monetary policies that led to an increase in the GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate to 5.1% compared to 4.2% in the previous year as well as a reduction of the inflation rate to 4.7%. Furthermore, the foreign exchange markets witnessed stability and the monetary reserves of foreign currencies increased to more than $20 Billion.
