In terms of improving efficiency and capacity of one million TEUs, training of human capital improves individual productivity and quality in decision making.

Bureaucracies and Organizational change

Organizational change is essential to eliminate increasing bureaucracies in shipment and logistics. Organizational change entails improving employee mental capability to accept change in administrations and logistics hence refining company fortunes. For instance, if employees can be trained in handling two deep-sea vessels at a time, the Fujairah Terminals improves on logistics. In contrast, an employee earns extra based on bonuses and compensation (McLean, 2005). The psychology of transition encourages employee’s ability to modify their mental skills to handle all types of vessels, despite technical and structural limitations. Moreover, having the emergency capability to handle container Vessels during crisis limits financial loss and damages for Abu Dhabi Ports.

Organizational change in reducing bureaucracies is improving employee training. , proper training of staff on operating modern robots improves planning of shipping logistics in advance and remind staff to attend conferences to enhance their skills, (White, Harvey, & Fox, 2016). Internal conflict at the organization includes environment and business disruption factors, such as workplace harassment that limits employee productivity and flexibility in decision making.

A third organizational change to limit bureaucracies is constant innovation in the processing of shipping and logistics data.

With political, social, and business support from the government at Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi Ports has the mandate and potential of bridging the UAE with the world through offering digital trade solutions to local and international shipping investors.

Literature review on organizational bureaucracies

To orient staff on their identity as a global conglomerate through subsidiaries, Abu Dhabi Ports could benefit in reducing bureaucracies and increasing the honor after UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The geopolitical benefits of lowering shipment bureaucracies are by working as a group by subsidiaries to establish the main port in the capital of Abu Dhabi as a regional hub for shipping logistics (Anderson, 2019). Embracing principles of global sustainability in the process of eliminating operational inefficiencies at the Abu Dhabi Ports entails proper design and allocation of duties, thereby minimizing costs associated with labor inefficiencies

Mechanic model of consulting is efficient in solving logistical bureaucracies in more than 21 berths across the Gulf Cooperation Council. The mechanic model entails regional managers to identify sources of bureaucracies in their departments and sectors and recommending a solution to the overall manager at Abu Dhabi Ports. With a total berth length of 4,375 meters, the mechanic model offers time and resource optimization in covering a wide area (White, Harvey, & Fox, 2016).

Furthermore, ensuring sourcing of resources from the local community ensures the sustainability of the local economy through the provision of demand, improving money supply hence lowering bureaucracies in the transmission of capital and salaries. A bureaucracy challenge that exists at Abu Dhabi Ports is the reliance on subsidiary for development growth. The problem includes increasing bureaucracies and lack of proper training and orientation of human resources.

Premier logistics services at Abu Dhabi Ports are aimed at reducing shipping costs and foxed overheads associated with organizational bureaucracies and inefficiency. As the leading Transport and trade hub in the GCC region, Abu Dhabi Ports ought to hire quality machine operators and ensuring safeguarding the marine environment and the ecosystem (Anderson, 2019). Moreover, providing potential consumers with a diverse portfolio of services and activities offers the organization customer retention strategies, thus minimizing loss of competitive advantage to rivals in the Middle East region due to increasing organizational bureaucracies.

Subsidiaries of aaa

Subsidiaries of Abu Dhabi Ports include the Safeen that provides a fleet of vessels serving the Emirati and regional markets in the GCC region. Through the operations of Abu Dhabi marine services, the subsidiary has operated since the establishment in March 2013 in the Middle East region (Cheung-Judge, & Holbeche, 2011). As a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports, Safeen relies on more than 200 certified and human personnel, requiring quality management that is accommodative with the ability to operate a modern fleet of marine vessels. The implementation of cost-effective marine and ancillary services, such as paperless import and export clearances, reduces labor costs and instances of white-collar crime. An indicator of organizational efficiency and integrity at the port is increasing the number of vessels calling the Emirate’s seaports and evaluating challenges that affect the safety of cargo in the region (McLean, 2005).

Intervention and organizational change models

Relevant interventions to bureaucracies in shipping and logistics rely on First-order and second-order change. First-order change as an intervention in changing the corporate culture is applicable at Abu Dhabi Ports through teaching employees how to operate new machines, equipment, and customer relations. Learning to rely on more than 40 years of industrial dominance to institute smaller modifications in the running of the firm. First-order change at Abu Dhabi Ports supports the evolution of logistical handling rather than revolution in instituting informational security reforms (Cheung-Judge, & Holbeche, 2011). The second goal of smart logistics at Abu Dhabi Ports includes innovating on minimizing transaction time for international and local orders, a leading contributor to the rising cost of goods and services. As such, having the human capital potential to improving transparency by limiting instances of fraud by employees and senior management at the port.

The second-order change is through muddying operations at the port to reduce bureaucracies.

However, the firm could benefit from emergency capabilities, complementing the busy nature as the most significant commercial ports subsidiaries in the Gulf Cooperation Council. With an area spread over a 5.3sqm area of the port and warehouse handling capability, the second-order change could be suitable in installing technological innovations (McLean, 2005). As the most important port, Emirate could benefit a large number of subsidiaries by providing ample offloading and loading of more than ten oceangoing vessels at any one time. Abu Dhabi Ports encourages staff to observe and adhere to the IHSE and business continuity guidelines that limit unethical business practices.

Key issues and reasons leading to bureaucracies

Bureaucracies in shipment arise due to lack of Centralisation of digital gathering methods among the subsidiaries causing duplication of roles and wastages of human capital, time, and logistical delays. Centralization of digital collecting processes ought to be standardized hence reducing challenges while accessing shipping and logistics data. The potential for damage to Abu Dhabi Ports and the information transmission among port stakeholders in the Gulf Cooperation Council region could cause financial losses (McLean, 2005) as such digital gathering and storage facilities have to be protected and in collaboration with customers and governmental authority. Maintaining online port community systems improves delivery of shipping logistics and reducing operational error that leads to time wastages.

The second source of bureaucracies in shipment and logistics is the lack of a centralized information system to integrate communication of consumer feedback across several subsidiaries. Consumer feedback, especially from the Autoterminal Khalifa Port, is vital in predating locating the destination of the cargo. Through the Abu Dhabi Ports, bureaucracies would be eliminated by an automated system, hence facilitating services to and from potential consumers, thus providing insights on the benefits of reducing human employees. Through a 15-year concession, the system relies on consumer feedback in improving the quality of services (White, Harvey, & Fox, 2016). Moreover, the entity manages the RoRo/Car Terminal at Khalifa Port, thereby reducing inefficiencies by gathering multiple data types for assessing consumer behavior and travel patterns.

Digital gathering methods of the firm ought to indicate an ethical decision making in solving shipment and logistical difficulties. An ethical decision making includes enhancing Abu Dhabi Ports as the facilitator of the Port Community System in the United Arab Emirates, thereby enhancing communication of cargo details. A corporate problem is whether the firm is capable of improving the delivery and exchange of communication and cargo details and the movement of people (Cheung-Judge, & Holbeche, 2011). Furthermore, the management of the subsidiary has to improve communication of cargo details at Abu Dhabi through the Maqta Port Community System (mPCS). The implementation of smart logistics at Abu Dhabi Ports improves the relay of communication among subsidiaries and cargo details of solving emerging challenges at the port. Moreover, the goal of intelligent logistics is embracing comprehensive, innovative solutions, such as limiting paperwork and increasing reliance on electronic transmission of shipping details.

The development plan proposed is a four-stage process of implementing organizational change.

The first stage of installation of Autoterminal Khalifa Port to reduce bureaucracies in processing tickets and cargo details. As such, the system could progressively improve existing car terminal capability past the current 300,000 m2 as such solving logistical challenges among the subsidiary could offer resources to build an additional 550 m of dedicated quay for nee vessels, thus advancing the financial fortunes of Abu Dhabi Ports.

The development plan, as the second stage, requires the use of smart services to assist in the loading and offloading of shipments from available vessels at the harbor (White, Harvey, & Fox, 2016). A second key strategy is improving the Navigation Services of vessels approaching the port, reducing instances of human error, causing losses of life and shipping resources. Imports and exports of the Emirate. The conglomerate has regulatory and oversight mandate of marine activities for the Emirate that processing of imports and exports, and evaluating opportunities for the expansion of the port.
