Commenting on the award, Dr. Somkiat, who is Assistant Professor, Business Administration Department, and Program Director of the Master of Business Administration at ALHOSN University, said, “This award underlines UAE’s growing contribution to research in business and finance. We believe that our paper which focused on the adoption of internet banking in the UAE could shed light on the challenges being faced in this domain and the corrective steps to push up internet banking usage. We thank ALHOSN University for all the support extended to us, which was very crucial in preparing a high quality research paper.”
