employers' superior human resources (HR) practices that avoid much of

the short-sightedness embraced by Western capitalism. Indian executives

focus on ensuring they bring together people management with business

strategy and assiduously track HR performance within operations. But

that's not all. The researchers believe their most telltale findings

concern what the 100 Indian business leaders surveyed unerringly failed

to mention. No one spoke of the need to cut costs although many are

outsourcing key parts of their operations.
