Executive Summary
Biculturalism is an important aspect that has prevalence in the New Zealand society since 1975.
However, the Maori settlers wanted to break the prolong isolation from the mainstream New
Zealand society by signing the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 with the White settlers. Nevertheless
the domination from their British counterparts halted the assimilation up to the last half of the
20th century. In this regard, the government initiatives and the interests of the business
organisations were very important in order to incorporate the indigenous population of New
Zealand into the fold of the mainstream social activities and business as well. The Fonterra
Company paved the way for the New Zealand society to include the indigenous communities. It
can be concluded that biculturalism is a significant tool in order to continue dynamic business
activities in New Zealand. In fact, the role of the government in formulating further assistance
facilitates the practice of biculturalism and makes a world equal for all.
