dc.description	Este artículo analiza cómo la religión islámica y la cultura árabe influyen en las prácticas empresariales y las dinámicas de negociación en Dubái, un entorno donde la modernidad económica convive con valores tradicionales profundamente arraigados. A partir de un trabajo de campo realizado en espacios comerciales, corporativos y religiosos, se identificaron patrones de comportamiento guiados por principios como el respeto, la justicia, la cooperación y la confianza interpersonal. Los hallazgos muestran que la ética islámica estructura la vida organizacional, impactando el liderazgo, la comunicación y la toma de decisiones. La interpretación de los resultados se llevó a cabo con base en los modelos interculturales de Hofstede, Hall y Trompenaars, lo que permitió confirmar la relevancia de estas teorías para comprender el contexto empresarial emiratí. Asimismo, se evidenció que las empresas extranjeras que logran adaptarse culturalmente aumentan su aceptación y sostenibilidad en el mercado local. El estudio concluye que la interacción entre religión, cultura y globalización convierte a Dubái en un escenario estratégico para los negocios internacionales y resalta la importancia de fortalecer las competencias interculturales en la formación profesional.
dc.description.abstract	This article analyzes how Islamic religion and Arab culture shape business practices and negotiation dynamics in Dubai, a city where rapid economic growth coexists with deeply rooted spiritual traditions. Based on fieldwork conducted in commercial, cultural, and religious spaces, the study identifies behavioral patterns guided by values such as respect, justice, cooperation, and interpersonal trust. These observations reveal how religion and culture structure organizational life, influencing leadership styles, communication, and decision-making processes. The findings were interpreted using classical intercultural frameworks, confirming the relevance of Hofstede, Hall, and Trompenaars for understanding the Emirati business environment. The study also highlights that cultural adaptation is essential for foreign companies seeking sustainable integration in the Dubai market. Overall, this research provides a comprehensive view of the interaction between religion, culture, and globalization, emphasizing the need to strengthen intercultural competencies in the training of International Business professionals.
