We show that using standardised marketing communications in both form and content to invoke Westernness, forging dealership networks to induce demand, and legitimising the products and brands acted as market-making mechanisms and helped to introduce new products into the local market. Our findings further illuminate that although the market making efforts of the era might suggest the existence of a multilingual, ethnically, and culturally diverse consumer group, the adverts only speak to a limited and inorganically bound set of consumers.

This latter approach borrows from healthcare. Religious competencies are learned skills and attitudes which help us understand religious values, both similarities and differences, and ease communication between and among customers, volunteers, and employees. I conceive of the quality of work life being increased by religious competency when the necessary ingredients to create respectful religious pluralism are in the workplace: support from upper management, recognition, and integration of religious groups in the workplace; partners in the community who can educate the workforce; a culture of respect; and measurement of a culture of respect.
