World Religions Work
Write a 10-page brief on the interplay of business, religion, Indian culture, and globalism, using a provided scenario.
Scenario
Use the following scenario as the basis for this assessment:
Imagine you work for a Canadian information technology company interested in establishing an office in India. Because part of the company's strategic plan includes relocating some of its domestic employees, nearly all of whom are long-time residents of North America, to Bangalore, your company has recognized the importance of preparing them to live in another culture.
Your supervisor learns that you have interest and/or expertise in this area and asks you to prepare a brief that serves as an introduction to Indian culture and Hindu religion and their interplay with the forces of globalism. This brief will be shared with the initiative's working group to help shape future decisions on employee training and preparation.
Deliverable

Discuss the religion's and culture's reaction to the forces of globalism since the government of Indira Gandhi.
Discuss three recent examples of the culture's reactions or contributions to the global community, such as women's rights, pop culture, wealth distribution, tourism, et cetera. What has been their impact? Why is it significant?
