Cultural Differences in Management: Two Aspects

Author

  • Nele De Gersem

Abstract

Indian companies have become very important in the global business world. Since the 1990s, this fact has received increasing attention from researchers, popular writers and consultants. Besides legal issues and economic facts, cultural difference is a recurring item in this literature. More specifically, the focus is on the Indianness of the Indian way of doing business. This article is a first step towards the process of examining two of the alleged aspects of this Indianness—one is paternalism and the other is hierarchy.
