"The successful Nationalization process requires the support of the highest management within the company and needs to be shared with everyone in the company in order to apply the best practice. Nationalization programs also motivate nationals, as the organization shows valuation to the talent.  A well designed and applied nationalization program will be a great benefit for the economies of developing countries", Abdullah Al Harbi concluded.
