Routledge Handbook on Business and Management in the Middle East (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This Handbook provides thorough insights into crucial topics that have attracted scholarly and practitioner interest in business and management in the Middle Eastern region.

The chapters of this Handbook open the window on the key areas of discussion in the field over the past few decades, including organizational behavior, leadership, business culture, business ethics, human resources, business strategy, entrepreneurship, finance, and accounting. It starts with identifying five key themes emerging from the variety of topics, locations, and questions addressed by the various authors who contributed to this volume. The remaining 30 chapters tackle various topics of interest to the research and the practitioner: institutional contexts for doing business in the region; issues of leadership, ethics, and organizational behavior; the role of women in leadership and some of the obstacles facing aspirant women leaders; people management and human resources issues in the Middle East; marketing in the Middle East; and strategy and entrepreneurship in the Middle East. The book closes with a reflection on management research in non-Western societies and describes some methodological challenges and propositions.

The Handbook is designed for academics, students, and practitioners covering areas of relevance across business activities, functions, and locations in the Middle East. It is to be used as a reference for scholars doing business research or teaching and for practitioners involved in business activities in the region.

Rezensionen

"To date, business and management in the Middle East has not received the attention that the region's importance demands. This Handbook goes a long way toward remedying that gap. The scholars included in this Handbook have produced cutting-edge research while also proffering an agenda for future work with relevance beyond the Middle East. It also will be useful for anyone interested in how the methodological challenges of doing management research in non-Western contexts can be overcome."

Harry Van Buren, Z. Lupton Patten Endowed Chair of Business Ethics, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, USA

"For scholars and practitioners seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking overview of business

in the Middle East, the Routledge Handbook on Business and Management in the Middle East is the book to read. With chapters written by disciplinary specialists who are based locally in the Middle East and North Africa and in many other parts of the globe, the Handbook provides contextually relevant insights into topical issues in business and management practice from those who well know the Middle East. The Handbook provides a wide-ranging examination of, and asks pertinent questions about, factors affecting business in this strategically important and fascinating region of the world."

Kate Hutchings, Professor of Human Resource Management, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia

"This is a timely and very welcome volume that augments our understanding of the Middle East region. Authors of the volume offer multidisciplinary perspectives that highlight the diversity in the region. In the last decade, the importance of this region has increased dramatically, necessitating better understanding of the regional specificities required to do business within and with the region. Most multinational enterprises are now doing business with countries in the region and are puzzled by diversities. This intriguing work provides academics and practitioners invaluable insights and reveals opportunities that normally are not visible. The book is therefore essential reading for both scholars and practitioners interested in the Middle East region."
