technological advances has changed the way business isdone in India.

to stop their operations in our country in the next 2-3 years
y This view can be supported by the fact that many companies such as Hind Cycles ltd., Orkay Silk Mills ltd.etc. which were once leaders in their respective businesses

CULTURAL DIVERSITYCULTURAL DIVERSITYy National culture is the values and attitudes shared by
individuals from a specific country that shape theirbehavior and their beliefs about what is important.
y National culture has a greater effect on anorganization's employees than their organization'sculture.
y Getting information about a countrys cultural
differences isnt quite that easy!y For example if you were an American raised in the
United states, how would you characterize U.S culture?

Geert Hofstede identified four dimensions of national
cultures:1. Individualism versus collectivism

LEGALLEGAL AND POLITICAL CHANGESAND POLITICAL CHANGESy Some countries have a history of unstable
governments.
yWith new government comes new rules.y The goal of one government may be to nationalize the
countrys key industries whereas the goal of the nextmay be to encourage free enterprise.
y
For instance, many large businesses have postponeddoing business in China because the Chinesegovernment still has too much control over what theseorganizations do and how they do it.

FOR EXAMPLEMICROSOFT has been able to open a new development
centre in Bangaluru(after one in Hyderabad) because
of the seemless transfer of information and technology within the organization.
A similar operation in China may seem a little difficulteven though it is cheaper to operate from China.
