Saudi Research and Marketing Group
Before starting his business career, Faisal bin Salman was a professor of political science at King Saud University. After the death of his brother Prince Ahmed in 2002, Prince Faisal took over as chairman of the Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), reportedly the largest media company in the Middle East, North and Central Africa. He is reported to own around seven percent of the company, while the family of his late brother Ahmed owns three percent. Faisal bin Salman is owner of Arab News, Asharq Al-Awsat and Al Eqtisadiah. It is reported that all these publications take a pro-government position and back King Abdullah’s cautious reforms. On the other hand, these papers are among publications owned by Saudi Research and Publishing Company that is an affiliated body of SRMG. Faisal bin Salman began to publish a new magazine through SRMG that is an Arabic translation of the magazine, "Robb Report." SRMG also publishes an Islamic finance magazine and translations of Italy's design magazine, Domus. The company is also planning to publish other translations including Better Homes and Gardens. He has also established a school for training journalists and other media people.
He is also the chairman of Jadwa Investment, a Riyadh-based leading Saudi investment bank since 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or group:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
