This Review provides a succinct overview of a comprehensive review examining cross-cultural business development strategies, drawing insights from both the United States (USA) and diverse African contexts. The analysis delves into the intricacies of cultural nuances, economic disparities, and innovative approaches employed by businesses in these distinct regions. In the dynamic landscape of global business, understanding and navigating cross-cultural nuances are imperative for sustainable development. This review juxtaposes the business development strategies of the USA, a beacon of economic prowess and cultural diversity, with the diverse and rapidly evolving markets across Africa. The exploration encompasses a spectrum of factors, including cultural foundations, market dynamics, and innovative approaches, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of cross-cultural business endeavors. The examination begins by unraveling the cultural foundations that underpin business practices in the USA and various African countries. Silicon Valley and Wall Street are emblematic of the USA's entrepreneurial and financial networks, each with its unique cultural influences. Contrastingly, Africa's business landscape is shaped by the rich tapestry of its nations, necessitating a nuanced understanding of cultural nuances and diverse business environments. The review further scrutinizes successful business development strategies deployed in both regions. In the USA, the focus is on innovation hubs, collaborative spaces, and professional associations, illustrating how cultural foundations contribute to the success of networking and industry-specific strategies. In Africa, the analysis extends to diverse strategies employed to navigate cultural diversities and seize opportunities in burgeoning markets. Key economic disparities and challenges faced by businesses in Africa are explored, emphasizing the importance of adaptive strategies for sustained growth. The intricate balance between leveraging cultural strengths and overcoming challenges is central to the comparative analysis, providing valuable insights for businesses, policymakers, and researchers. As businesses increasingly operate in a globalized context, this review underscores the critical importance of cross-cultural competence and tailored strategies for successful business development. The synthesis of experiences from the USA and Africa offers a rich tapestry of lessons, fostering a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between culture, economics, and innovation in the realm of cross-cultural business development.

“…From the representation stated above, it will make the entities in society collaborate with each other and function harmoniously, for the organizational structure of a community entity (Perdue, 1986;Rakova, & Fedorenko 2021). Considering the polemic of roadside donations for mosque construction from the perspective of Talcott Parson with the A-G-I-L pattern whether it is in harmony or not, it is necessary to take a functionalism approach, as manifested by (Nasikun, 1987;Megawati, Niswah, Mahdiannur, & Segara, 2022;Vanderstraeten, 2013) that functionalism is an interpretation of society in the coherence of constituent entities regarding its prominent capacity, namely the prevalence of rules, customs, and culture, besides that in the reality of a sociological perspective, there is a symbiotic mutualism between religion and society, in other words, society can be influenced by religion and vice versa (Heiphetz, & Young, 2017;Kahmad, 2006).…”

“…Structural-functionalism is a view that analogizes society as a biological organism composed of interrelated organs, these things become a reference so that the organism can collaborate in carrying out its functions to survive (Rakova, & Fedorenko, 2021).

This study aimed to determine the characteristics of religiosity, sociology, psychology in the controversy over mosque construction funds from roadside donations made by the people of Pakuniran District. Madura Indonesia The research method uses qualitative and ethnographic approaches, structural-functional theory, and Islamic law (IL). Ethnography is a concept of actualizing cultural aspects. Meanwhile, Talcott Parson's structural-functional theory from a socio-anthropological perspective aims to interpret society, religion and government in a linked structure. The perspective of Islamic law (IL) is a series of shari'ah of Allah Subhanahu Wa-ta'ala which is the fundamental reference for Muslims and mujtahidin in giving fatwas. So that ethnography, structural-functional, and Islamic law (IL) form a triangular methodology, which becomes a data collection and analysis technique. Results The researcher describes the perspective of roadside donation activities by formulating three fundamental data: (a) Ethnographic perspective related to roadside donation activities. (b) Structural-functional community according to the context of Talcott Parson. (c) The conformity of Islamic law (IL) to roadside charities. This study identifies the phenomenon of the Pakuniran community according to context, thereby triangulating the contradictory results between community activities and the perspective of Islamic Law (IL).
