Understanding The Cultural Differences (US-India)

When trying to understand the differences between India and the U.S., it can be easy to make some broad assumptions about the two cultures. However, due to the cultural differences, working as one unit may be difficult without the proper awareness. This course helps team members understand the cultural and work culture differences between India and the United States.

This course begins by outlining the general cultural differences between India and the U.S. For instance, Indian families are more close-knit whereas American families tend to be widely dispersed. The approach to goals, hierarchies, and business relationships also differs between the two cultures. Next, team members learn more about the work culture differences. The way workers communicate and handle conflicts are different, as well as how team members interact with management. Lastly, this training covers how to help improve cross-cultural communication and coordination by improving communication styles, the hierarchical culture, and conflict resolution approaches.

When working for a cross-cultural organization, having awareness about the cultural differences is crucial to team success. Use this online training to help both sides understand the differences and how to work better together.
