Indian work culture

you will be knowing better is like more un orthodox ways ...I can say our style provides some kind of out of box thinking ...some little less efficient in results in longer run ...We analyze the problems/requirements and we jump into conclusions little earlier than the US counterparts ..May be that is because of some fear... (may be job fear if we don’t resolve early they might reject us ...or fear towards the bosses .. ) because we came from culture where we know that loosing job is more painful ....that’s why when Philips CEO completed his 5 yrs in India he wrote an article (may be you can refer that..) regarding the work culture in India. He says "Indian pleases their bosses too much”. We say less estimation for a task and we tend to stretch/manage to live by our words. This is what he meant by that statements. May be this is because we have some fear in the corner of the mind that. If we don’t have this job. we will be struggling like every other average Indian citizen ..Because we all came from the same society. That’s one of the reason we tend to use unorthodox method to face the problems. Which some 50% times can give good results in short time. Other times. May be bad / wrong results. Indians lacks in little innovation initiatives. We like to like by manual methods ...and that’s one of the reason the productivity is less compared to US. May be this phenomenon is continued from our history ...from the olden days you see the innovation from the west is more compared to others ...This again comes from the culture. May be some 10 yrs back.when any middle class Indian boy says I want to become like Michel Jackson ...their parents will not allow ....the 60% educated population of India (middle class) always believes only the legacy way of getting success in life ...study technical/doctor or some standard and get job and then only life is settled. Parents make children feel that. Getting some job and settling with family and kids are ultimate destiny ...But US people motivate or at least don’t de motivate the Childs aspirations ...if at least 5% of them becomes success. they achieve great heights ...Others get motivated by them. Another thing is always the western people have the feeling that they are superior and Asians have feeling that we r inferior ...I don’t know this complex is right are wrong it’s from the western culture. Go extra mile always. At least to prove that they are superior...
