The Outsourcing Challenge: Working with India
One of the leaders in flattening the playing field of global commerce is India. Offering BPO support services, call center operations, manufacturing operations, and as well as software development, India has arrived! With its global entry into virtually every sector of business, the need for the world to understand how Indians conduct business and communicate is vitally important.
To this end When Cultures Mix has designed and delivered throughout Europe and the USA hundreds of training programs focused on understanding Indian culture and how to communicate effectively. The need to also make available to Indians what to expect when they do business with us is just as important. When Cultures Mix has also trained Indians in India what to expect when working for Europeans and US Americans.
