1) What differences in corporate culture & management style do you have to deal with between Moscow and Dubai?

Corporate culture & management style got many differences. First of all, Russian and Arabian nations (even expats who living in UAE more then two years) got different cultural and live style habits. These differences reflects in work day (Arabian works less during a day), necessary volume of discussion to start work or project (Russian use less words to start doing something)and strongness of given words and promices (Arabian got useful word "inshallah", which means if god bless, to explain that something could be delayed or even not happened).
Secondly, Arabian countries got wides mixture of nations and business habits. Indian and Pakistan persons usually speak a lot and say nothing. Arabian representatives friendly, but works relaxed and can standstill without notifying you about it and waiting for something (Yes, it could be "inshallah").
Good root of counterpart view on management style between Arabian and Russian is that both nations/countries import management style or features from USA and Europe.
