In the almost one hundred years of the life of modern Iraq (from 1921 onwards), Saad describes the different stages that Iraq has passed through, starting with the rule of the monarchy, which lasted from 1921 to 1958, and he also reviewed the different regimes that followed the fall of royal Iraq and examined their policies and practices in ruling Iraq. In this review, Saad has highlighted the failures and the achievements that Iraq has seen. Saad has used his experience as both a government public official and as a management consultant to analyze, identify, and define the reasons behind such developments. In his experience, traditional methods have failed in helping Iraq come out of this situation. What is needed is new and innovative approaches that the country needs to consider. In his view, countries need to be managed the same way successful companies are managed, where targets and values for the organization are set and performance is assessed accordingly. Successful companies take care of their customers (in the case of countries, they are the citizens), and companies take care of their staff and other stakeholders. All these are taken with the principle that people are accountable for what they do and that the management of successful companies treats all people fairly. Also in the case of companies, it is not important how much you spend on, say, training. It is important what type of training you spend on, when, why, and whom to train. The same applies to a country where you need to apply your resources on a priority basis.

Saad Ajeel is an Iraqi citizen born and raised in the plains of upper southern Mesopotamia. He is a graduate of the American University of Beirut, a former diplomat, and a recognized management consultant. Ajeel has not only been watching developments in Iraq, he has been living them, and he has seen how events have developed in such a way that the country has come out of one conflict only to enter into another one. In his life, Saad Ajeel has worn many hats. He grew up in the farms in the area where he was born. He was in daily touch with the lives of people in rural communities. He came to understand the problems of the rural agricultural communities of his country. In his role as a foreign service diplomat, he came to know that, for a country to have an impact in the international scene, it must live in peace and must enjoy sound policies that achieve economic growth and development. He couples this knowledge with his management expertise to define the problems of todays Iraq accurately and to conduct a root-cause analysis and suggest strategies and solutions. In his deep analysis of the ways things turned out in Iraq, he defines what happened, why it happened, and what went wrong. Ajeel uses his international experience in his examination of the ways the various economic sectors are managed in Iraq, and he assesses this type of management against best international practices. Ajeel believes that Iraq has all the necessary elements to be a successful country, and the big question he tries to answer is why this did not happen. He compares his analysis to the analysis of a car accident we need to know the reason behind the accident. Was it the car, the driver, the passengers, the road or something else?
