Cultural Influence on Business Wikia



Welcome to the Cultural Influence on Business Wikia
This wiki provides some useful sources in the form of a Resource Kit of recommended resources prepared on behalf of the Monash University Library by Aston Craddock, Audrey Jena, John Watson Josefina Dembe and Nunurai Colleta Mudarikwa. The Resource Kit is centered around the issue of how religious and cultural differences among people affect business operations and business ethics.

Describe your topic
This resource kit provides resources which can be used to describe how various aspects of cultural and ethical values effect the way in which business is carried out around the globe. The effects that religion poses to business decisions are also considered as religion and culture are strongly related in many civilizations around the world. These cultural differences over the various scales reveal that there are many different ways in which business is conducted, leading to confusion and communication barriers. The large increase in business deals between Eastern and Western Nations highlights the need for an increase in the understanding of cross cultural communication and ethical differences.
