being the goal of their business Those purposes ranged from improving healthcare to getting cell phones to people who didn t have access to communication tools Having a social purpose motivates workers Invest in employees Indian firms invest an enormous amount in their employees training and development IT firms typically offer 60 days of formal training for newly hired workers and they even spend months training experienced workers A study said that Western firms have largely abandoned investing in employees seeing it as a waste if they quit But Indian bosses believe that investing in employees ensures the quality of those who stay at the company Take the long view Indian bosses stress far less on shareholders than it is typical at Western business As a result they re more able to take a long term view Western companies can t just ignore their shareholders but their CEOs can do more to protect their employees from short term financial pressures letting them get on with their jobs Work from their strengths Western companies often think about strategy in terms of chasing customers or pursuing market opportunities but Indian firms will more often start by identifying their strengths and customers needs and then try to meet those needs Act as a role model Being a personal role model for their employees is an amazing thing for a CEO If Western bosses could think of themselves as role models it would 6 have a real impact on their workers 10 Indian CEOs use their sense of social purpose to A improve the workers healthcare system B provide cell phones to people in

resignation of employees D they don t care about the quality of the employees in their firms 12 Which of the following is TRUE about Western bosses A They stress on workers more than shareholders B
