European and US MNC's sometimes make the mistake to send younger managers to India to close a deal. This story board describes a common situation these employees may encounter.
I'm a tax specialist
I work for one of the big four accounting firms in Holland. I’m considered to be their most experienced tax specialist. Although I’m still under 30, I have advised the CFO’s and CEO’s of the majority of the Dutch blue chip companies.

He looks young! How old is he? 25??? Don't they know at this accounting firm that unless you have some seniority, you won't be taken seriously in India? Why don't they send somebody who is older?
I wonder what job title he has on his business card? Junior manager? I have an advice for him. Let him change his business card asap showing senior manager and his university degree title. That will give him some credibility.
We realize that some of our observations are biased due to our own cultural backgrounds. We therefore welcome your comments regarding the situations we describe on this blog.
We are part of an international team of MBA students with three different nationalities: Ukrain, French and Dutch. At the beginning of this challenging project we all had our own expectations. During the course of the project we learned to respect each others culture and learned to work in a collaborative way. The end result is this cross-cultural blog.
