The software industry has been the fastest growing sector of the Indian economy. The present study aims at assessing if the Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) engineers have the adequate skills to communicate best in cross-cultural environments as also reduce barriers while communicating and collaborating across functions, divisions and across companies. The results indicate that the professionals were substantially skilled in their listening, adjustability and flexibility components. Also, from the data analysis it could be inferred that demographic variables in this particular context have not been strong enough to differentiate the communication competencies between groups.

Managers typically spend between 60 % and 80% of their time communicating. Inability to communicate effectively and efficiently can jeopardize the business interests. The present study investigated the effectiveness of downward communication as perceived by managers and how it impacted the effectiveness of organization which was evaluated on five parameters namely: planning, organizational structure, organizational culture, communication, and outcome. Results showed that there was a positive correlation between effectiveness of downward communication and the organizational effectiveness. The organizational culture or the leaders at various hierarchical levels who provided accurate, timely and clear information and correct feedback to the subordinates improved the performance in terms of planning, structure, and communication. Such firms enjoyed good reputation in the market and the morale of the employees has been high.References

Globalization has triggered the immigration to sky rocket for most of the developed and developing countries. People in search of employment settle down in such countries where they are constantly surrounded by a culture which does not belong to them. How to maximize the opportunities and minimize the challenges of cultural differences? Diversity can be a potent and a differentiating competitive edge. The present study aims at exploring the intercultural competence of Indian co-workers as perceived by European expatriates settled in India. The study revealed that the Indians were found to be adjusting if not adopting when communicating with people from other cultures.Keywords

This paper studies the communication competence of the working professionals from India and Turkey. Both these countries have fast growing young populations and rapidly developing economies. There are significant differences between Indian and Turkish respondents, however. Indians perceive that they are easy to talk to, would not argue just to prove they are right, ignore others’ feelings, do not make unusual demands on their friends and think that they are effective conversationalists, likable people and flexible. Turkish respondents treat people as individuals, are good listeners; their personal relationships are cold and distant, they try to understand other people and listen to what people say to them.- Organizational Socialization & Work Related Attitudes in India’s Uncertainty Culture

Job hopping has become the mantra for the Millennials. In today's dynamic times, managing people turnover is as critical as business turnover. Previous studies indicate that socialization efforts in organizations are one of the important antecedents of work related attitudes like organizational commitment, job satisfaction, organizational identification and intent to leave. This study aims at examining the impact of organizational socialization on work-related attitudes which may differ depending on employee's need to reduce uncertainty. The results indicate that the socialization practices are reasonably well entrenched in India. Socialization has a weak correlation with organizational commitment, organizational identification, job satisfaction or intention to leave. Thus Western theories cannot be extrapolated to Indian situation because of differences in culture.- Interpersonal Assertive Communication Behavior of Indian Millennials
