Sommario/riassunto |
|
The colonial history of the Caribbean created a context in which many religions, from indigenous to African-based to Christian, intermingled with one another, creating a rich diversity of religious life. Caribbean Religious History offers the first comprehensive religious history of the region.Ennis B. Edmonds and Michelle A. Gonzalez begin their exploration with the religious traditions of the Amerindians who flourished prior to contact with European colonizers, then detail the transplantation of Catholic and Protestant Christianity and their centuries of struggles to become integral to the Caribbean’s religious ethos, and trace the twentieth century penetration of American Evangelical Christianity, particularly in its Pentecostal and Holiness iterations. Caribbean Religious History also illuminates the influence of Africans and their descendants on the shaping of such religious |

traditions as Vodou, Santeria, Revival Zion, Spiritual Baptists, and Rastafari, and the success of Indian indentured laborers and their descendants in reconstituting Hindu and Islamic practices in their new environment.Paying careful attention to the region’s social and political history, Edmonds and Gonzalez present a one-volume panoramic introduction to this religiously vibrant part of the world. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Do you manage to your business model? The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with the insights to strategically manage from a business model perspective. What does that mean? It means that managers have to first think rigorously about their value proposition, their current or future competencies, and their revenue streams and cost structure before developing, adopting, or modifying their strategies. What is the difference between a business model and a |

|
|
strategy? A business model is how a company operates and a strategy is how a company competes. When the basis of competition changes because a new model disrupts the economics in the industry (e.g., publishing and book retailing) it requires an adjustment in business models before any new strategy can work. This book adds a business model level to the traditional strategic management process to be more consistent with current "real-world" practices in strategic thinking and analysis. It takes the reader deeper into the intricacies of what constitutes a business model and how current strategy is derived from it. It is based on the premise that effective strategies cannot be formulated without understanding the fundamental elements of a business model. |
