Dr Zgheib holds a PhD in Economics and a Professional Doctorate in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Utah State University. In his current post at the Lebanese American University in Beirut, he lectures on business ethics, human resource management, entrepreneurship and business communications. He is also a regular consultant and moderator with private corporations around the world.
Dr Zgheib’s academic work explores the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures. Struggling to find enough relevant materials on the subject of nepotism, he decided to conduct his own research with his students. A certain ambivalence characterises Dr Zgheib’s position on nepotism. His body of work asserts nepotism’s neutrality; it is neither good nor bad and is best approached as a widely accepted, culturally driven business practice.
