Explanation / Answer

Cultural consideration is surely a major factor when setting up any business shop in India. Cultural aspect would include things like ethnicity, race, religion, language, customs etc. In India, religious and caste favoritism can be seen even in private employment sector as well. Any corporate body thinking to establish in India must understand its culture and people expectations and company performance is also to a certain degree affected by the type of people inside company at various designations and the company overall trust and acceptability in the market and among people.

Hiring local nationals would be a great deal for the company and will definitely work out but the top management should be from the parent company or from different locations so as to enable the fair decision making by top management and shall not be influenced by local factor. However the line managers and field operators shall be from locally hired.

First there shall be zonal head and under zonal head there will be divisional directors for different department like marketing, sales, finance etc. then under them will be general manager, assistant manager, supervisors which would be locally hired. There will be separate team for coordinating with US counterparts and providing those inputs and coordinating with Indian teams and departments. The procurement department would be different which would coordinate with the top management. Sales and marketing team would be given training to work at global and US level marketing and sales process.
