Exploring Culture: How to do Business with 17 Cultural and Religious Groups

Exploring Culture: How to do Business with 17 Cultural and Religious Groups

In recent years, the terms “multiculturalism” and “globalization” have become permanent parts of our national lexicon. This points to a fundamental change taking place in the ways we conduct business, both now and in the decades to come.

According to the Pew Research Center:

  • If current trends continue, the U.S. population will increase from 296 million in 2005 to 438 million in 2050. 82% of this increase will be due to the arrival of immigrants and the birth of their descendants.
  • The white population in the U.S. is expected to increase more slowly than other racial and ethnic groups, becoming a minority (47%) by 2050.

Each of the 17 chapters examines a group’s demographics, economic status, market trends, religious practices and worldviews.
