Table of ContentsReviews'The Palestinian Executive highlights the resilience and determination required to survive and prosper in an environment long marked by arbitrary, often deliberate, barriers. This book provides first-hand evidence of the ingredients for successful business leadership: self-development, early responsibility, experience, and training. Warning signals are given: risks of excessive social pressures from connections, cronyism, and nepotism. What are strengths in one context may be weaknesses in others. Farid Muna and Grace Khoury are to be congratulated on this clearly written work.' Michael Jefferson, London Metropolitan Business School and University of Buckingham, UK 'The Palestinian Executive: Leadership Under Challenging Conditions is an important and insightful work that fills a major gap in our knowledge of Palestinian leadership and business within the context of the Israeli occupation. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in a critical understanding of the economic and political impact of the conflict on business in Palestine.' Ibrahim S. Dabdoub, Group CEO, National Bank of Kuwait 'Any business executive, academic scholar or manager intent on gaining a deeper understanding of the business context and challenges facing managers in Palestine will benefit from this thought-provoking yet delightfully written book. Muna and Khoury brilliantly lead readers through the intricacies and complexities of the Palestinian business context, masterfully blending thoughtful analysis solidly grounded in research with rich anecdotal evidence. On this basis the authors derive pragmatic and insightful recommendations that will undoubtedly have an important impact on future generations of Palestinian business leaders.' George Tovstiga, Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK 'A truly unique view into Palestine's business world and the complex reality that Palestinian business executives face on a daily basis to maintain an economy of survival.
