Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the outline of a public diplomacy action plan to generate pressure toward suffrage for women in Kuwait. The writer discusses how the right for women to vote and hold public office became a major issue in Kuwait.
From the Paper
"The question of extending the voting franchise in Kuwait to Kuwaiti women and the right for women to hold public office has recently emerged as a major issue in Kuwaiti politics. It has also become a factor in Kuwait's international image and therefore in its relations with its neighbors, trading partners and the world community. Today, Kuwait is one of only two Arab countries in which women cannot vote. The Kuwaiti constitution does not prohibit ... "

Abstract
This paper looks at some of the social, legal, and political traditions that the West cites as examples of how women in Kuwait and the Muslim world are denied certain basic human rights. It then argues that these perceptions are incorrect, as they are based on a lack of understanding of Muslim law and society.
From the Paper
"When we read reports by the western media or government agencies, such as the Human Rights Watch of the US Department of State, we note that there is a very high degree of bias against social, legal, and political, and religious practices in Arab countries. This bias is primarily due to the insistance of judging our practices, and culture, according to Western practices and culture and, naturally, there is a tremendous difference between the two. One area of concern in the West is human rights issues in Arab countries, with a strong focus on women's rights. According to the Western perspective, Arab women do not have access to the most basic human rights enjoyed by Western women, are discriminated against by law, and are denied any effective role in their societies. The West incorrectly assumes that such abuse is established by Islam."

Abstract
This paper describes a study focused on the question of how leadership style, as exhibited by administrators and physicians, impacts upon the performance of public and private hospitals in Kuwait. The literature indicates that when both public and private Kuwait hospitals are compared, significant differences in leadership styles (as observed via performance indicators and surveys of key actors) are identified; these leadership differentials are hypothesized to have a direct bearing upon hospital performance, specifically with regard to employee satisfaction, quality assurance and accountability, and measures of efficiency. Using a stratified 2X2 sample of key leaders (administrators and physicians), a survey instrument is administered to a total of no less than 100 such subjects in each of two hospital settings (public and private institutions). The study proceeds from the theoretical assumption that either transformational or transactional leadership styles will be identified by respondents as most closely associated with such variables as high quality of patient care, high levels of employee satisfaction and proactive, visionary leadership that is capable of motivating and inspiring staff throughout the organization. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including t-tests, are employed to assess the data generated by the study. Secondary data is included to augment the primary data obtained via the survey developed by the researcher, specifically with respect to measures of efficiency. The results, along with a comprehensive review of relevant literature, are presented in a final report.

From the Paper
"Authentic leaders make transformations possible. They help others and their organization cope with change and complexity. They serve as role models, facilitators, mentors, and guides. They are self-actualizing and capable of assisting others in achieving ethics, vision, and belief in others. In other words, as Hollander and Julian (2000) have pointed out, it is the leader (who may or may not always be a designated manager or executive within an organization), who sets the basis for relationships within a group and thereby can affect outcomes. Leaders initiate structure and also affect the process that occurs within that structure. Hollander and Julian (2000) further note that leaders are those individuals with whom others identify."

"Female Role, Depression, Stress, and Locus of Control in Kuwaiti Females: A Research Proposal
Introduction
The proposed research consists of a test of whether Kuwaiti females that identify with traditional roles prescribed for women in Kuwaiti/Arab society significantly differ in directionality of locus of control (external/internal) and their levels of depression, and stress when compared to Kuwaiti females that identify with the more liberal notions of the female role held by Western culture. To this end, the proposal develops a model of the impact of female role on Kuwaiti women's stress and depression levels, and discusses the relationship of stress and depression to locus of control. The model is then used to..."

Abstract
This study examines the impact of leadership styles on the performance of public and private hospitals in Kuwait. Critical to this purpose is the association between leadership and performance measures. Performance measures examined include quality of care, employee satisfaction and employee perception of leadership efficacy. The study addresses the following questions - Do different styles of leadership have different impacts on quality in both public and private hospitals in Kuwait? Do different styles of leadership have different impacts on employee satisfaction in both public and private hospitals in Kuwait? Is there a relationship between leadership style and performance?
From the Paper
"This dissertation prospectus presents an overview of a projected study focused on the question of how leadership style, as exhibited by administrators and physicians, impacts upon the performance of public and private hospitals in Kuwait. The literature suggests that when both public and private Kuwait hospitals are compared, significant differences in leadership styles (as observed via performance indicators and surveys of key actors) are identified; these leadership differentials are hypothesized to have a direct bearing upon hospital performance, specifically with regard to employee satisfaction, quality assurance and accountability, and measures of efficiency. Using a stratified 2X2 sample of key leaders (administrators and physicians), a survey instrument developed by the researcher will be administered to a total of no less than 25 such subjects in each of two hospital settings (public and private institutions). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including t-tests, will be employed to assess the data generated by the study. Secondary data will be included to augment the primary data obtained via the survey developed by the researcher, specifically with respect to measures of efficiency. The results, along with a comprehensive review of relevant literature, will be presented in a final report."

Kuwait and Asian Expatriate Workers, 2004.
Examines the problem of the maltreatment of Asian workers in Kuwait, especially women.
1,682 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that the examination of the treatment of expatriate workers in Kuwait leads to the conclusion that, while Western expatriates are offered fair treatment, and their contribution is adequately valued, Asian workers should be discouraged, through the publication of the abuse that Asian expatriates experience in Kuwait, from working in Kuwait. The paper also argues that the Kuwaiti government needs to be encouraged to pass labor laws to protect the country's Asian expatriate population, especially the women laborers. The paper includes a detailed outline.
From the Paper
"Western expatriates in Kuwait are highly valued and their presence and contribution is considered imperative to the country's development. American and European males and females are intensively recruited, as Robert E. Looney observes in an article published in International Journal of Social Economics, titled "Foreign Workers and the Provision of Public Services: The Case of Kuwait." Besides the fact that Western expatriates receive high salaries from their employers, the Kuwaiti government offers them access to important public services. These include health care and education. However, this particular group does not make use of these free services, or at least only an average of .45% do, because their employment contracts and their salaries allow them access to private health care and education. The interesting aspect of "Kuwaiti generosity" is that it only covers native Kuwaitis and Westerners but not other groups, such as expatriate Arabs and Asians (Looney)."

Abstract
Chapter 1: Introduction to Franchising
Chapter 2: Business Conditions in Kuwait and GCC
Chapter 3: Laying Out the Specific Business Problems in the Local Scene
Chapter 4: Processes Involved in Putting Up a Franchise
Chapter 5: Addressing the Problems in Franchising in Kuwait and GCC Chapter 6: The Proposed Business Plan
Chapter 7: Conclusion
From the Paper
"Franchising is an increasingly popular approach for many aspiring entrepreneurs and franchised operations are springing up all over the world. Franchising typically divides into product or trade-name franchising and business-format franchising. A wide range of international franchising opportunities are available for use by large multinational corporations as well as medium and small-size companies, but some companies have pursued international franchising to expand beyond a saturated domestic market or to establish a presence in the international market before the competition can establish itself. Moreover, international franchising can also assist enterprises in distributing their costs and associated risks across the entire network of outlets."

Abstract
"Kuwait gained its independence from Britain in 1961, and since that time it has been a constitutional monarchy whose ruler, called the Emir, has episodically shared some power with a National Assembly elected by adult male Kuwaitis. The National Assembly has been suspended from time to time, once in 1976 and again in 1986, showing that it is secondary in terms of power to the emir.
From the Paper
"Kuwait gained its independence from Britain in 1961, and since that time it has been a constitutional monarchy whose ruler, called the Emir, has episodically shared some power with a National Assembly elected by adult male Kuwaitis. The National Assembly has been suspended from time to time, once in 1976 and again in 1986, showing that it is secondary in terms of power to the emir. Reopening the National Assembly became the goal of the prodemocracy Constitutionalist Movement in 1989 90. Just before the Iraqi invasion in 1990, a compromise National Council, partially elected and partially appointed and with more limited power, was convened by the Emir, and it was reconvened following the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. However, this did not placate the popular opposition, which prompted the Emir to schedule elections for October 1992 ("Kuwait: Government"). "
