Ridha Mejri | Working successfully with Arabs & Muslims
🗓️ October 26 (Thu) | 5-6 pm (CET)
📄Abstract:
“One who knows about oneself and about others will recognize: Orient and Occident
can no longer be separated, to move comfortably between both words. Between the
East and the West, that is the best.” J. W. vo n Goethe
The Arab World is not only strategically a very important region full of natural resources but also a huge market with potential growth. Still, many stereotypes and lack of knowledge about the region as well as the culture and the religion make it very difficult for foreign companies to do business successfully there. What are the peculiarities of Arabs? How do they tick and think? What is an Arab? Is an Arab necessarily a Muslim and is every Muslim automatically an Arab? Does the Arab World exist?
This talk will give some insights into the terminology, i.e. what is an Arab, what is a Muslim, and where the Arab World is. It will also explain the main important values and attitudes of Arabs and show some good and bad marketing campaigns. In a nutshell, it will demonstrate how Arabs tick, communicate, make decisions, cope with conflicts, do business, and negotiate.
