Effects of culture on work practices

December 23, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’ve noticed behaviour like this in organizations over the last several years, especially in India (or with those from India working elsewhere)…

Some people don’t respond to a Microsoft Outlook meeting request, especially if there is a conflict or even if they just don’t plan to attend the meeting — Fear of looking bad, or still worse, they don’t want the person who sent the request to feel bad that they aren’t attending his/her meeting!!

(Am sure there are several more examples…will keep adding to this)

    I so agree with you. Indians prefer to walk to the desk without scheduling a meeting or sending an invite. It is not professional. But India hai, Sab Chalta Hai. One day people will learn.
