The second part examines different cultural aspects in India. It is shown where India ranks on various cultural dimensions, which are mainly drawn from Schein's model of organizational culture and Hofstede's cultural analysis, and it is explained what these rankings mean in real terms. In the next section other cultural nuances such as religion, the vastly different subcultures in India and language differences within the country are outlined. Following this, the impact of Indian culture on internal and external issues of business is taken into consideration. The next section throws light on common pitfalls of multinational firms doing business in India and gives recommendations of how to avoid such difficulties. The last part of this cultural guide clarifies key managerial strategies to be successful in India. The paper finishes with a short conclusion and summary.
