About this ebook

This book addresses a significant research gap by delving into the Finance Business Partnering (FBP) model within the not-for-profit sector of the Gulf countries, with a specific emphasis on Qatar Foundation. While an extensive body of literature explores the FBP model in developed nations, there exists a notable dearth of research in the Middle East and third-world countries. The book aims to rectify this imbalance by offering practical insights derived from Qatar Foundation, showcasing the advantages of adopting the FBP model. It goes beyond theoretical frameworks, presenting in-depth data analysis that substantiates the pivotal role of FBPs in supporting effective decision-making processes.

By delving into essential concepts such as change management, contingency theory, and organizational culture, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the successful adoption and implementation of the FBP model. Notably, it introduces practical examples and real-world applications to underscore the model’s efficacy, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners in the fields of management and financial accounting.
