The paper suggests educating employees in the need for responding to changing business climate and notes that Mitsubishi Oil's recent merger with Nippon Oil will allow it to gracefully extricate itself from some of its traditional kiretsu relationships that have been detrimental in finance.

Spain's Burgeoning Economy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the amazing turnaround in Spain's economy in the last three years. Formerly believed to be the last to qualify for entrance into the monetary union, including former Eastern bloc countries, when the Euro is launched in 1999, Spain now appears not only to qualify for first-wave membership, but to also be one of the front runners, able to enter the monetary union on solid ground rather than just barely making it past minimum requirements set forth at Maastricht. Other European nations' economies have improved in recent years, but Spain's is the only one that has been driven by internal demand rather than by exports, indicating a stronger financial position than some of the others enjoy.

The Influence of Religion on International Business
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing some of the stereotypes associated with the world’s most influential religions, and the dangers of relying on stereotype to predict national culture based on religion. Those cultural issues originating in religion certainly need to be addressed, but for many, simply acknowledging and accepting that religious differences exist is enough. The paper focuses on Islam because it is so useful in pointing out the dangers of stereotyping an entire nation based only on the name of the religion predominant among them. There are few differences between Islam in Saudi Arabia and Islam in Jordan, but there is a world of difference between other cultural factors that are said to be religious in nature. Frequently, those cultural factors in reality have little bearing on religion; it is important to know the differences between religious culture and social culture. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
