Abstract

Cultural understanding is a key issue in the development of international or cross border business. The greatest challenge to international business today is the management of business operations across cultural boundaries. In recent years, knowledge-based software business is facing very unusual problems of cross-cultural and work-related behavior issues. Such problems are found to be the major cause for software joint-development business failures between any two countries. This chapter explores the major differences in work-related behavior between South Korean and Indian engineers in knowledge-based software business.
