Description of the module - Islam: Business and Ethics

In this subject; we will discuss Islam and the main features of the Islamic Countries from the viewpoint of the intercultural negotiation.

It is crucial to note that this subject has been written with a maximum and absolute respect for this religion, which has 1,570 million followers around the world.

After the 11-S, the international businessman wishing to do business with the Muslims Countries needs a closer approach to Islam and its culture as a premise to establish trusting relationships to develop business in the long-term. This is the main objective of this subject: to introduce the students to Islam and this interesting culture and therefore on their way of doing business.

Muslim Population: 1.57 billion people (23% of the world's population)
Only 15% of the Muslims are Arabs (the Middle East)
62% of the World's Muslim population lives in Asia and 20% in the MENA region (the Middle East and North Africa)
300 million Muslims live in countries where Islam is not the majority religion: China, India, or Russia.

We also aim to break the negative topic that many Westerners have against Islam.
