Corporate Social Responsibility: An Exploratory Study in the United Arab Emirates‪.‬

Introduction In a region that makes headlines for wars and political turmoil, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an oasis of political and economic stability rarely found in the Middle East. This stability, among other factors, has allowed the UAE to carve a place among the world's most significant business centers, with impressive multinational corporations such as DHL, Shell, Intel, and many others establishing their offices in the country. If current trends continue, these multinational corporations will be followed by many more.
