| description | The study analyzes the distribution of religious denominations in the Romanian counties using
correspondence factor analysis, exploring its implications for business management. Based on
official statistical data, the research highlights the relationships between confessional structure and
regional specificity, identifying the main dimensions that explain religious variation. The results
show that the confessional diversity in Transylvania contrasts with the predominantly orthodox
uniformity in the south and east of the country, and that religious particularities directly influence
cultural values, business strategies and managerial decisions. The integration of literature
emphasizes the role of religion as a shaping force in strategic planning, sustainable development and
business ethics. The study contributes to an interdisciplinary understanding of the dynamics between
religion and economics, providing an analytical framework for adapting organizational strategies to
cultural and confessional characteristics. Findings reveal the importance of a customized approach
to conducting business across regional religious distribution, promoting social inclusion and
cohesion. |
