About this title

Synopsis

Our 21st century global business environment is more geographically and culturally diverse than ever before. With the proliferation of technology worldwide, businesses throughout the world are now interconnected and have unthwarted access to the international business community. Business professionals must be prepared to engage in this highly diverse business environment. This includes the ability to effectively interact with business professionals of different cultures and different religious affiliations. Religion plays an integral role in many of the world’s cultures. Business professionals must be educated regarding how religious and cultural customs impact business practices throughout the world. Because religion is deeply embedded in the norms and customs of society in many countries, it is impractical to claim ignorance when it comes to the religious customs of countries where business professionals will be conducting business. Today’s business professionals must be able to effectively navigate the labyrinth of cultural and religious beliefs that permeate the countries where they will be engaging in business. That’s where this book comes in.

This book provides business professionals, business leaders, and academics with a quick and basic introduction to four major world religions: Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. These four religions represent over four billion people worldwide, and members of these religions are engaged in business all over the world. This book provides the reader with a basic understanding of each of these religions, presents an overview of each religion’s key beliefs, and provides information related to the culture and customs of the countries most influenced by each religion. Ultimately the book aims to prepare business professionals to successfully engage within our diverse 21st century global business environment.
