Please see http://reyadel.wordpress.com/2009/05/22/cultural-performance-management-analysis-part-i/ in which he quotes
Indians are also group persons. But within a group, arguments are soon to break out on deciding one thing. Amartya Sen even made a book out of this Indian trait, The Argumentative Indian, an academic study done by a detached observer, where he notes:
“India is an immensely diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly disparate convictions, widely divergent customs and a veritable feast of viewpoints. . . .heterodoxy has been championed in many different ways throughout Indian history, and the argumentative tradition remains very much alive today.”
There is even a popular joke which states: One Indian is silent, two Indians are a debating team! As such, there is a natural inclination of the Indian manager to over-intellectualize and his tendency toward too much debate at the expense of action maybe a deterrent.
