<strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong><br />

Scope <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Journal</strong><br />
The <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong> region has experienced rapid political and economic change over<br />
the last four decades. The challenges to managers and management researchers<br />
operating within the area are <strong>of</strong>ten different to those experienced in other parts <strong>of</strong><br />
the world. MEJM contributes to an understanding <strong>of</strong> different management cultures<br />
and provides readers with a fresh look at emerging management practices and<br />
research in the countries <strong>of</strong> this region and beyond.<br />

literature reviews and testing <strong>of</strong> alternative methodologies and theories that have<br />
significant contributions to the knowledge <strong>of</strong> management in the <strong>Middle</strong> <strong>East</strong><br />
region. The journal strives to bridge the gap between academia and practice; hence<br />
it also publishes viewpoints from practitioners, case studies and research notes <strong>of</strong><br />
emerging trends. Book reviews <strong>of</strong> cutting edge topics are also welcome. The<br />
journal will also combine a region-specific orientation with a comparative approach.<br />
