Recently Morison Menon did a targeted survey with individual businessmen who have setup business in Qatar in the last one decade or who are planning to setup business in 2011.

Qatar is an emirate with a conventional hereditary system. It is ruled by the Al Thani family whose presence in the peninsula dates from the eighteenth century.
It occupies approximately 11,521 square kilometers on a peninsula that extends 160 kilometers north into the Persian Gulf from the Arabian Peninsula. The coastline is 550 kilometers long. Its territory comprises a number of islands. The terrain is flat and rocky with some low-rising limestone outcrops in the west and north. The country is divided into municipalities for administrative purpose. The municipalities are Al Daayen, Al Khor, Al Rayyan, Al Shamal, Al Wakra, Doha and Umm Salal.
The Judiciary in Qatar is expressly established as an independent body by the provisional constitution and is currently divided into two court systems; the civil, commercial and criminal system and the Sharia Court system. Sharia Court system administers Islamic laws.
