Abstract
Middle East economies generally lag behind global competitors partly because the vast resource of female talent remains untapped. This paper thus investigates the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as potentially a successful model for change in the region, in issues pertaining to women in education and the necessity for the full participation of women in the workforce and at managerial level in the developing K-economy. The research further indicates that in order for the region to succeed, it must utilise its entire human resource and encourage increased participation of Arab women in the workplace and their recruitment into senior management levels within organisations.
