ANN ARBOR, MI, October 03, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The executives of Michigan-based PryMarke, LLC today announced the signing of a contract to develop a Reference book on how nationalism and cultural indoctrination affects global prosperity today. "The internalization of cultural beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours of individuals seem to have been catalyzed by the pace in which contemporary societies and business are being transformed. This requires examining the impact of the particular effects of cultural indoctrination on global business and prosperity," said Bryan Christiansen who has been PryMarke's Chairman since 2009.

The book will be co-authored by Assistant Professor Dr. Joyce Koeman, affiliated with the Institute for Media Studies at the University of Leuven (Belgium) where she teaches Mass Communication, Business Communication, and Linguistics. Her current research interests focus on ethnic marketing, cultural diversity management, and (in)equalities in the networked society. "As cultural indoctrination touches many aspects from daily life, encompassing issues from education and religion to nationalism, tolerance and altruisim, an interdisciplinary approach is advocated," explained Dr. Koeman who is not associated directly with PryMarke, LLC.

The upcoming reference book particularly aims to disclose relevant agents in the processes of cultural indoctrination, to provide a sound examination of effects of cultural indoctrination on cognitive strategies and/or professional methodologies, and to delineate its micro- and macro-level effects on global business and prosperity. Therefore, it will cover a variety of aspects such as:
