Business trips aren't just about the number of kilometres traveled, but also about new ways of working. 🌎 ŠKODA's Purchasing Project Manager Václav Březina is currently in Pune, India, where he is in charge of managing the Superb, Octavia and Kodiaq projects. "Oral agreements are only part of success here. We must confirm everything via email and check whether we understand one another or not. Though all within the factory works fine, Indians are not very punctual." This is one of the local ways of working that Václav had to get used to in his first months. But at the same time, he adds: "People in India care about personal relationships a lot more. We know each other, call people by their first names, go for tea, shake hands, or speak a couple of words with one another." Check out our post to learn what other surprises were waiting for Václav in India, and what he misses most about the Czech Republic. ⬇️
