The Aramex case study presents the complex situation facing Fadi Ghandour, a Jordan-based entrepreneur who started Aramex, an express and logistics company that was the first Arab-based firm to list on a U.S. stock exchange. Aramex has grown from a small regional player to taking on global giants such as FexEx and DHL, and its management team need to decide what its next steps should be for balancing regional growth with global ambitions.
Case A presents the regional history, company history, and the steps that Aramex has taken to ensure its survival and growth. It asks students to assess Aramex’s position and determine its next strategic objectives.
