This book brings together the insights of theories of management and marketing to give an original view of the organizational dynamics of globalizing Asian New Religious Movements (NRMs) and established religions. Seventeen authors in this collection have recast their data on individual Asian religions and social movements to focus on the way these organizations are managed in an overseas or global context, by examining the structure, organizational culture, management style, leadership principles and marketing strategies of the religious movements they had hitherto studied from the perspective of the sociology of religion, or religious studies. The book examines strategies for global proselytization and outcomes in a variety of local ethnographic contexts, thus contributing to the scholarly work on the 'glocalization' of religions.

New Religions in Japan claim millions of members and simultaneously provoke criticism and fulfil social functions. This publication may serve as a handbook about these new religions on the basis of recent research, written by an international range of scholarly experts. The introductory chapters offer general analyses of historical, doctrinal, social, and economic aspects and hence facilitate the understanding of new religions within their overall contexts. Ten religions of major importance are introduced in detail as to their founder, circumstances of foundation, history, doctrine, present situation and activities. These are Ômoto, Seichô no Ie, Sekai Kyûseikyô, Shinnyo-en, Sôka Gakkai, Risshô Kôsei-kai, Mahikari, Kôfuku no Kagaku, Aum Shinrikyô/ Aleph/ Hikari no Wa and Chino Shôhô/ Pana-Wave Laboratory. Other important religious organisations are covered in encyclopedical references.
