This research – the first of its kind in the Arab World- aims at deepening our understanding of prejudice phenomenon in the context of Arab management and especially in the field of OB, through an exploration of its most significant aspects as a neglected phenomenon in the Arab World. More specifically, the research's objectives are: shedding light on the importance of investigating the phenomenon of prejudice in the Arab managerial environment; introducing the literature of prejudice in order to support research efforts; clarifying the definition of prejudice, its forms and attitudes to facilitate the formulation of theoretical framework for empirical studies on prejudice in OB as well as to suggest a proper methodological approach to explore prejudice; presenting the most considerable prejudice-related personality , cognitive and demographical factors and indicating their possible impact on finding or escalating the prejudice phenomenon in Arab organizations; preparing scientific material regarding this phenomenon to help researchers and authors to cover it in specialized books in OB and to arrange and execute training programs on prejudice.

Conventional wisdom presumes that accounting professionals have little capability for creative thinking. An alternative view is that accountants display creativity when provided with organisational opportunities. This view has been tested in a comparative study of professionals drawn from similar educational backgrounds and allocated to consulting, audit and tax duties within the headquarters of a major international firm in Saudi Arabia.

This study examined quantitatively the creativity within two professional groupings found toward the more regulated end of the spectrum. The work was carried out in both the accounting and consulting domains within the Saudi Arabian financial services sector.

The purpose of this research is to investigate creativity within the context of a more regulated accounting functional area (audit and tax) and a less regulated non-accounting functional area (consulting). Accordingly, this research aims at developing insights into how current cultural assumptions may have to change, if professional challenges requiring more creative behaviours are to be successfully addressed.

This research aims at representing the most fundamental framework of research in the field of creativity and giftedness related to the subject under investigation; emphasizing the importance of the certified professional and applied rehabilitation in creativity and giftedness and showing its rationale; developing the framework of that kind of rehabilitation; suggesting the key characteristics of the specialized centre of certification in creativity and giftedness. Many aspects showing how significant this rsaerch is. One aspect is that it is a pioneer project globally since the researcher has not found a comparable project in any part of the world. Secondly, it enhances the accumulated attempts of Arab renaissance and enriching them methodologically, intellectually, organizationally, and practically. Thirdly, it supports the original scientific effort in the fields of cognitive psychology, organizational behaviour and special needs in Arab society according to its own culture.

he main objective of the research is to contribute in the formulation of the underpinning elements of the scientific framework which governs the process of teaching and integrating creative thinking skills into business education with the consideration of the civilizational and cultural factors in the Muslim and Arab world. This includes the development of a model to guide the process of teaching and integrating creative thinking skills into curriculum generally and more specifically business curriculum. In addition, this research seeks to review and analyze the related literature critically.

This paper discusses the problem of the lack of awareness and good practice of strategic management in Arab organizations, and more specifically in higher education institutions. The purpose of the paper is to find out a tentative answer of the key question: Is such a lack due to the cultural problematic factor or research (i.e. scientific) problematic factor?. Thus, the paper aims at determining the core causes of the problem and to present its main symptoms. The paper adopts the descriptive analytical methodology in the light of what the paper has called “Cultural Diagnostic Approach”. The paper suggests a new model to be used in diagnosing the cultural factors which might affect the phenomenon under investigation. After showing how strategic management is so crucial in all academic institutions, the paper concludes that this lack might be attributed to the cultural problematic factor and lists three key diseases of Arab strategy:
