  • 1.  Readings for US-Qatar project

    Posted 12-03-2008 14:25

    I am directing an independent readings course for a MBA student. In her job, she is to begin coordinating some work projects between a US organization and its affiliate in Qatar.  We are seeking suggestions for the reading course that might be relevant to this work assignment.  Relevant papers would focus on cross cultural issues in human resources and organizational behavior, particularly related to Qatar or other Arab countries.  Papers on strategy and entrepreneurship are much less relevant to the focus of the reading course.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Dear Mike and Colleagues,

     

    David Weir at the University of Northumbria- Newcastle Bus School has done considerable work on management in Arab countries and published few articles to that effect.

     

     

    Warm wishes,

     

    Jacob

    Mike,

    I would suggest looking at the GLOBE project (they have the material now in
    2 books) which looked at leadership across 62 nations, including Arab
    countries. Another book that I found useful for providing a good overview
    of cross cultural research is the Handbook of cross cultural management
    research, which was published this year (2008), edited by Smith, Peterson,
    and Thomas.
