About this book

Few economies have witnessed such accelerated economic growth as that arising from Saudi Arabia's discovery of oil. These essays introduce the complexities of the cultural, economic and legal issues that determine business practices in Saudi Arabia. Contributions recognize that while economic activity is dominated by the oil industry, it also boasts a diversified commercial environment. The collection combining historical perspective, academic research and practical observation is accessible and timely reading for those wishing to undertake business in Saudi Arabia.
