Multinational Companies

Multinational Companies
          Multinational companies that do business in Saudi Arabia should understand about religion. To be successful, these companies must adapt to local religion. The religion in my country is Islam. Islam forbids eating pork or drinking alcohol. In Islam there is five prayers in the day, and the Muslims do these prayers on the time. Also, all the stores stop working when the prayer. The Islam has Ramadan month when the Muslim is fasting. A business that ignores this is probably making a mistake. For example, restaurants. When the restaurant opens 24 hours in Ramadan or sells any food contain pork or wine. The people ignored the restaurant and did not buy the food. In fact, In Saudi Arabia religion is important for any multinational companies.
