The Arab Gulf states all face increasing challenges in terms of sustainable consumption and production. These include: - Environmental sustainability issues such as waste, recycling, water usage, energy, including the use of renewables, and pollution - Economic sustainability issues including employment opportunities for local people, education and training and engagement of business and individuals that make up the supply chains - Social sustainability issues such as safety at work, working hours, equality and diversity, noise dust and pollution, traffic congestion, stakeholder engagement and community involvement in decision-making While much of the previous research on this subject has been Western-centric, the present book includes contributions on these topics from specialists from the UAE, Bahrain, Lebanon, Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Qatar as well as from the US and the UK.

The book explores the complexities of managing diverse project stakeholders, highlighting the challenges posed by uncooperative individuals such as negative sponsors and demotivated team members. Authors Jake Holloway, Professor David Bryde, and Roger Joby draw on their extensive project management experience and social psychology research to identify common stakeholder types and their difficult behaviors. It offers a blend of theoretical insights and practical strategies to effectively navigate and mitigate the impact of challenging stakeholders on project success.
