Introduction The development of management theories highly depends on observations and mathematics. The latter is used to elaborate mock-ups for business activities. Management practices appear as results of numerous case studies that are based on the managerial experience of coping with various workplace situations. It is important to understand the benefits of different managerial practices and make the best use of the most efficient models (Wang & Zheng, 2013). On a bigger scale, it would minimize the number of employees who quit because of weak management practices. Usually, poor management increases costs and disregards the employees’ capabilities. To understand the essentials of management, business owners should distinguish between good and bad managerial practices and conduct personal research to elaborate on an exclusive business model (Wang & Zheng, 2013).

The track record of a certain management model provides evidence regarding the fact of whether it will work or not. One should take into account the dynamic and flexible nature of management practices and carefully apply these practices to a business within the framework of a certain project (Wang & Zheng, 2013). Both the UAE and China are represented by mixed business models and management practices. Flexibility is required to sustain the peculiarities of each of the business models. Business development elicits leadership qualities and helps to define new elements of management theory. This paper will investigate the key features of China’s managerial practices, compare them to the managerial practices typical for UAE, and make conclusions concerning the efficiency of both countries in terms of management.
