This month an article appeared in Computer Weekly. The same argument for going to Russia and Eastern Europe remains the same. Here is what one of the interviewees, Peter Ingram, IT director at Addison Lee said about his experience of working with Indian and Russian teams:
“The guys in India said yes to everything, copied the mistakes we had deliberately put in there, and didn’t ask us anything about the business - it was all very systematic. The team in Russia looked at our proposition, asked if it was functional, noticed the mistakes and asked us why we did things in this way. They really challenged us and had much
better engagement.”
What can better describe the cultural differences between the regions?
