What is Anthropology and Business?

The term "business anthropology" became more popular and widely used
in the 1980s, when anthropologists were hired in full-time, non-academic
practitioners in niches related to consumer behavior and marketing. Prior to
that time, the term "industrial anthropology", "anthropology of work", or
"applied anthropology in industry" were used more frequently to denote
areas of research and practice focused on business related phenomenon.
More recently, the term business anthropology has begun to be used more
generically to refer any application of anthropology to business-oriented
problems. Currently business anthropology is recognized as a subfield of
the discipline in applied anthropology.

their endeavors. The American Anthropological Association is
