CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION

FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Finalize your summary and reflection on the book "Islam: The Religion and the People by Lewis & Churchill (2008)" and upload it here in Word format. Be advised that your text will be checked for plagiarism. This is the key assignment of this Global/Intercultural course. I expect a minimum of eight pages, 12-font, Times New Roman or Arial, 1" margins, with a line spacing of 1.5. Shorter papers will receive a significantly reduced score (cover pages, content tables, quotations, images, and reference pages are not required and do not count against the minimum page requirement). Please do not exceed ten pages.

Your paper must be of academic quality and style. Accordingly, I will neither tolerate gossip, bad language nor disrespect towards the opinions of other people, and I will look at spelling and grammar.

Criteria include the application of the concepts learned during the course. Make sure to mention the main concepts of Islam in the first half of the paper, and reflect on its implications on International Business in the second half of the paper. Try to answer the questions: what would it be like to manage employees with a Muslim background, what would it be like to negotiate with Muslim business people, and what would it be like to work as an expat in a Muslim country?

Read the book then summarize in your paper the most significant concepts of each chapter then reflect on the meaning of those concepts for the practice of international business.

This paper must be on an academic level.
