Abstract
The major objectives of this research note are to present a concise summary of research results on management and organization published in Arabic and to compare these results with findings on the same topics published in English. An extensive search of the relevant literature in Arabic produced relatively few empirical studies. Results of these exploratory studies identify the salient features of Arab organizations and management such as overcentralization and emphasis on control. However, results on the leadership style of Arab managers are con flicting. The resort to cultural factors to explain these inconsistent findings is criticized and the need for more and methodologically-sound research is stressed.
