At California State University San Bernardino, we are planning a one week study tour of UAE for our business students in March, 2012. We are interested in visiting corporations and other organizations in UAE. We are particularly interested in the issues of how businesses in the region are responding to the new trends, such as social media, sustainability, and diversification needs beyond oil and construction, and how new culturally senstitive approaches are being developed for managing issues such as gender inclusion in leadership roles, family business succession, engagement of expatriates and Emirates, sustainability, and globalization. We are also interested in the issues of government policy. Can somebody assist us with this? We can possibly pay moderate compensation to somebody who is able to help set up various business meetings primarily in Dubai, but also in other cities, including Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
