Shows how a hi‐dimensional optimisation problem with linear inequalities constraints is converted into a global optimisation problem of one bounded variable function f*. Then, we reduce the feasible region f* before seeking its global optimum.

Risk management (RM) is a rapidly developing field in France. Several associations are trying to promote an approach of ERM that is far removed from insurance and compliance.

Management writings in the Middle East region are scarce and scattered. This is due to the lack of doctorate programmes offered by educational institutions, the weak links between academia and the business world, limited formal and informal networks, the lack of status given to the field of management by national bodies and the lack of a publication culture. A bibliography of management‐related writings in the Middle East is presented, which includes other functional areas such as marketing, finance and accounting. It aims to draw the students' attention to a variety of sources. In compiling the bibliography a review of the literature in Arabic, English and Turkish was undertaken, followed by a survey of the top officials of academic institutions offering management/commerce, business administration degree programmes in the region.
