...the wide range of variation, it should be impossible to generalize about the society, organizations, and leaders in India, as also about organizational and leadership practices in Indian organizations. There is however hope because in spite of the fact that the languages of India are many, and there are well marked differences between one regional culture and another, yet there is an over-all unity of design which makes them all members of one family. This stems primarily from the economic and social organization of the country and extends to commonness of intellectual and emotional attachments and obligations. The details might vary from place to place, and from one caste to another, yet the sameness of the traditions on which all of them have been reared cannot be overlooked (Bose, 1967, p.9). It is in this spirit that this chapter reports the India-specific findings of the GLOBE Research Project. The following section attempts to describe the evolution of India's society and culture, concluding with a description of the current situation. It is followed by a brief description of leadership in India. The methodology of GLOBE research in India is described next, followed by presentation of the results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses. A brief note containing some basic information on India is at Appendix 1. SOCIETY AND CULTURE IN INDIA Any attempt at describing society and culture in India must begin with three assertions.

...the gate, he is met by St Peter.‘Well, I checked you out and you meet all of the qualifications. But there’s one problem,’ He said. ‘We have some tough zoning laws up here, and we keep all of our oil prospectors over in that pen. And as you can see, it is absolutely chock-full. There is no room for you.’ And the prospector said, ’Do you mind if I just say four words?’ St Peter said, ‘No harm in that.’ So the prospector cupped his hands and yelled out, ‘Oil discovered in hell!’ And, of course, the lock comes off the cage and all of the oil prospectors start heading straight down. St Peter said, ‘That’s a pretty sick trick. So,‘ he says, ’go in and make yourself at home. All the room in the world.’ The prospector paused for a minute, then said, ‘No, I think I’ll go along with the rest of the boys. There might be some truth to that rumour after all.’ 1 1 Janet Lowe, The Rediscovered Benjamin Graham: Selected Writings of the Wall Street Legend, Wiley, 1999.

...CHAPTER 9 LABOUR PRACTICES AND WORKING CONDITIONS IN TNCS: THE CASE OF TOYOTA KIRLOSKAR IN INDIA KRISHNA SHEKHAR LAL DAS & SOBIN GEORGE 1. INTRODUCTION The study on the working conditions and labour practices in Toyota Kirloskar in India is part of the network research on Transnational Corporation Monitoring in Asia. Since 2002 the Asian Transnational Corporation (ATNC) Monitoring Network has been operational to build up a regional network through which labour organisations in different Asian countries can pursue concrete solidarity actions to improve working conditions of workers employed in transnational corporations (TNC). Against this backdrop, it is aimed to have a closer look at the labour management and forms of employment in automobile and electronics sectors invested by Asian TNCs in Asia. As part of this endeavour, the Centre for Education and Communication (CEC), New Delhi collaborated with the network research coordinated by Asia Monitor Resource Centre (AMRC), Hong Kong to observe the labour practices of Asian TNCs invested in India. In the first phase the network research focused on the movement of capital and its impact on labour by engaging desk research on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and related aspects. In the current phase, emphasis is on specific cases of labour practices and labour conditions in selected ATNCs. 1.1 Methodology The present study is situated in the wider context of the dichotomy between labour and capital.
