Understanding the Iranian business environment requires a holistic approach as in Iran society, culture, religion, economy, politics, and family are intimately intertwined. For this reason, the book adopts a broad scope and relies on a wide range of academic and professional resources to bring insights into the Iranian context. It tries to bridge theory and practice by offering a reasonable blend of academic perspective and practical expertise. It aims at offering an analytical, readable, quite comprehensive, and supposedly impartial account. This book consists of 14 chapters organized in two parts. Part 1 touches upon the broader social and historical conditions and moves progressively from the physical geography and current issues to sociopolitical system and geopolitical environment. Part 2 is devoted to more practical topics including Iran's national culture, negotiation and communication styles, economic system, energy market, nonoil sectors, business environment, and consumer behavior. While the chapters are interrelated, they stand fairly distinct from each other and offer the convenience of being consulted separately. This book is a valuable reference for business managers, investors, analysts, policy makers, scholars, students, expatriates, travelers, and all those who are concerned with the Iranian affairs. 410 0$aInternational business collection.$x1948-2760 606 $aBusiness enterprises$zIran 607 $aIran$xCommerce 607 $aIran$xCivilization$y21st century 610 $aCentral Asia 610 $aemerging markets 610 $ainternational business 610 $ainternational management 610 $aIran 610 $aIranian culture 610 $aIranian economy 610 $aMiddle East 610 $aPersian Gulf 615 0$aBusiness enterprises 676 $a658.00955 700 $aYeganeh$b Hamid.$01163522 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798078803321 996 $aMaking sense of Iranian society, culture, and business$93685593 997 $aUNINA
