This book is a compilation of a selected number of presentations offered during the traditional Wednesday Meetings which we have been conducting for the last few years. As you may know, LMA’s activities include consulting services, training courses in different subjects of various durations, workshops, seminars, LMA Magazine “إدارة الأعمال “, conferences and the Wednesday Meetings.

In respect to the latter, i.e. the Wednesday Meetings, LMA organized, over the last couple of years, in excess of sixty meetings on different subjects. These meetings are offered free of charge to LMA members and their guests. We have been gratified with the encouraging feedback that we get from these meetings. However, as we traditionally offer these meetings in late afternoons, LMA is currently facing some scheduling problems because of the current unfortunate circumstances.

The selection of the presentations included in this book is meant to compensate for the temporary discontinuity of these meetings and to maintain the desired link between LMA and its members and friends. We hope that you will find these presentations interesting and useful.

LMA will continue its mission to promote the advanced concepts and techniques in professional management. Meanwhile, we hope that you provide us with whatever proposals that you think LMA may offer to be of interest to you personally and/or to your organization and the community at large.

We will always look for your continued support.
