Where can I find information on the influence of cross-culture on global business?
I'm writing a research paper on the influence that cross-culture has on global business and I need to expand on the following:
•Aesthetics
•Values and Attitudes
•Manners and Customs
•Social Structure
•Religion
•Personal Communication
•Education
•Physical and Material Environments
Where should I start?
Answer
The topic of cross-culture and global business is a very large one, and may take a little bit to narrow down. I see that you have specific categories that you are looking for. Generally, when discussing cross-culture and business, researchers tend to focus on specific countries to compare. Is this the case in your research? If so, I can direct you to additional useful resources.
I would suggest starting on the International Business and Country Profiles Guide. This will give you the best databases for business research to start.
From the first page of the Business Research Guide the first two databases, ABI/INFORM and Business Source Complete should be useful in your particular searches. Both will include a variety of information including Journal Articles, Magazine Articles, Newspaper Articles, etc.
In both of them, try searches such as:
Cross-culture AND global business AND aesthetics
Cross-culture AND globalization AND religion
