Tata Network Forums Global updates April 2017 S Padmanabhan Chairman of the Governing Council, Tata Business Excellence Group From the Desk of the Chairman of the Governing Council, TBExG Tata Network Forums (TNFs) have long been a medium of collaboration and connect for Tata companies based in different geographies. In the last three years, companies in the ten TNFs across the globe have increasingly started to come together to support and learn from each other. During the past six months, most TNFs have connected in a meaningful way to enable important areas for the Tata group, including areas like innovation, best practices, safety, sustainability, ethics, affirmative action, communications, business excellence, customer centricity, digitisation and public affairs. The best practices sharing and adoption journey gained momentum through the TNFs, with many Tata companies coming together to learn from best practices in different areas of business. The first ever external Tata Learning Mission took place in Singapore in March 2017, in which world-class companies like Singapore Airlines, EDB- Accenture, Sembcorp Industries, DBS Bank and educational institutions like Singapore Management University, National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University shared their best practices. The insightful visit helped the participants visualise the way these eminent organisations functioned, and take the learnings back to their companies. A common theme running across the TNFs was the Tata InnoVista, for which regional rounds took place in the respective geographies and winners went on to the final round in Mumbai. This is the fifth issue of the TNF newsletter. Over these past years, we have seen the quality of activities maturing, with many companies increasingly connecting with and learning from each other through TNFs. We expect the number and quality of collaborations to achieve even greater heights in the coming time. TNFs are a wonderful institution that Tata companies are utilising for making progress in different areas of business. I am sure that in the coming year, the Tata group will draw a lot of value from this forum and it will create a strong connect between Tata employees.

    Cross Cultural Negotiation Process Are More Complex and Difficult, but Will Surely Help in Overcoming Barriers and Failures in the International Business Arena

    Journal of Business Management and Economics 3: 11 November (2015). Contents lists available at www.innovativejournal.in JOURNAL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS Homepage: http://innovativejournal.in/jbme/index.php/jbme Case Studies: Resolving cross-cultural issues in doing Business in China. Dr.Saikat Gochhait Assistant Professor-Marketing, Asian School of Business Management, Bhubaneswar Email: [email protected] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15520/jbme.2015.vol3.iss11.159.pp41-46 Abstract: The impact of international business in domestic markets compels us to ask a question: "How can we survive in this global playing field, and what can we do to run our businesses more effectively?" Nowadays, businesses of all sizes search for suppliers and customers on a global level. International competition, foreign clients and suppliers may become bit cautious, but they may also create huge opportunities in developing our business. The increasingly global business environment requires managers to approach the negotiation process from the global business person's point of view. This approach may not be relevant in domestic negotiations. Some of the components of a cross cultural negotiation process are more complex and difficult, but will surely help in overcoming barriers and failures in the international business arena. When doing business internationally, we need to consider (Salacuse, 1991): 1. The negotiating environment 2. Cultural and sub-cultural differences 3. Ideological differences 4. Foreign bureaucracy 5. Foreign laws and governments 6. Financial insecurity due to international monetary factors 7. Political instability and economic changes If we consider the fact that negotiating with our fellow citizen is not an easy task due to many individual differences, it would be reasonable to suggest that negotiating with foreigners may be even more difficult.
