Hamid's classes was a laboratory of life, it his class, I was forced to learn about global business environment and what it take to convert a national corporation into a global operation. I agree Hamid was a very tough grader but I believe that is the only way for us to master the complicated concepts in the field strategic management .

He is a marvelous educator and mentor. He taught me how American Businesses expand both internally and externally thought employment of technology and intense commitment to financial stability. I have learn to analyzed all aspect of a company by using publicly available financial data. Some times he can be viewed as a tough grader by some.

If you want to learn them he is your instruct. He is a very tough grader but he cares about your future success. He grilled the first few teams during their presentation so the rest of knew what to expect. By preparing for my presentation, I reviewed everything that I had learned at a business major. If you want to pass find another instructor.
