This study aims to highlight the importance of knowledge management and the factors influencing its implementation within the public sector organizations in Dubai. This study provides a clear understanding of the concept of knowledge management in the public sector and the ability of these sectors to collect and preserve knowledge, knowledge management. This requires the development of knowledge to review and strengthen their strategies to collect document and disseminate their workforce knowledge in order to achieve better institutional performance and to ensure that the knowledge of outstanding expertise and competencies remains within the institution even after leaving their sources for the organizations. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 215 systematic randomly sampled respondents from seven public departments. Data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was found that all the independent variables were significantly related to organizational performances. The multiple regressions analysis showed that all the predictor variables contributed 55.5% towards the organizational performances of the public departments in Dubai. The research implication and suggestion were discussed at the end of the paper.

If we are to choose between two distinct statements, that the interest of the group prevails over the interest of the individual for the majority of people and that a minority of people in our world live in societies in which the interests of the individual prevail over the interests of the group, we can conclude, as Hofstede did, that there are two categories in which nations can fit: individualists and collectivists. The purpose of our study is to investigate the impact of this cultural dimension on the international trade of the European countries. Panel regression model with country fixed effects has been applied to the 21 years' data . Based on prior studies conducted by Inglehart, the analysis of the World Values Survey, the cross-national values databases of Schwartz, Hofstede, Triandis, GLOBE, and Trompenaars, we proxied the individualism with three variables, i.e labor productivity index, higher education rate, and urban population growth rate. The findings of previous studies suggest that individualism has significant positive relationship with the imports and exports of Eastern European Countries, notably, Poland, Lithuania and Romania. Concurs with previous studies, our results show there is a significant positive relationship between individualism and international trade (both imports and exports).

In recent years, the concept of Knowledge Management has expanded widely in government and private sectors. The last five years have witnessed intensive discussions on Knowledge Management and its importance. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Knowledge Management and its aspects and its impact on the performance of the governmental institutions in the Emirate of Dubai from the point of view of the managers of these institutions. This study attempts to use the analytical descriptive method to address the subject of the research. In this light, the analytical framework drawn integrates these approaches and can be applied in empirical studies. The study uses the questionnaire in data collection, which is valid and reliable according to the Cronbach’s Alpha value. A Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to predict the OP based on KG, KSR and KST. The findings showed that KG, KSR and KST were the key predictors of OP as these explained 49.6% of the total variance in Model.
