The Wharton Shoold has HR professor Peter Capelli in Bahrain for an interesting consulting job:

"For Cappelli, director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, it was hardly your typical consulting job. "They are in the process of creating institutions from scratch," says Cappelli, who met the Bahrainis through the U.S. State Department and has written a report suggesting ways for them to modernize everything from the treatment of expatriate workers to higher education. "They are asking questions like, 'Should we have unemployment insurance and government-sponsored worker training? Should we have a welfare system?'"
