Joseph and Nancy Jabbra’s chapter “Administrative Culture in the Middle East” argues that 6 forces or factors have produced an administrative culture in the Middle East that makes it difficult to adopt Western management innovations, philosophies, and administrative approaches. Two of these forces are “over-centralization” and “administrative expansion.”Choose either one (1) of these two forces or factors and explain how and why it has contributed to an administrative culture that makes it difficult to introduce changes in the government of either Abu Dhabi or the UAE, particularly Western management innovations, philosophies and approaches. (Do not try to answer for more than one force or for both levels of government.)
