Abstract

After 30 years, the oil industry in Qatar has relatively few Qataris in middle and senior management posts. The reasons were the small indigenous population, the lack of manpower planning, attractive employment opportunities elsewhere, and indifference towards training by the international oil companies. Now nationalised, and with a Qatari chief executive, one of the oil companies commissioned the author to set up a Qatari development and training scheme — described here in detail — suited to the socio‐cultural environment.
