The purpose of the present dissertation was to document and evaluate the consultant-workshop model commonly employed by OBM consultants.

A Study Of Body Scent As A Social Identifier Among Members Of The Arabic Culture, Mia M. Wilson

This qualitative research study explores how individuals of the Saudi Arabian culture use body scent as a social identifier to …
