Produktbeschreibung
Post colonial theory suggests that Western forms of organization and management have been imposed on societies that have been colonized. However this view can be questioned on the basis that cultural artifacts are 'borrowed' in ways that produces fundamental changes in the nature and social significant of these artifacts.

Case study investigation is used to explore and elucidate the 'lived experience' of management in these organizations, thus allowing the book to challenge the idea that western management practices can be 'imposed' in middle eastern contexts and local situations.
