何故、インド人学生は世界企業のCEOになれるのか?英語で読むデザイン【19】
世界の名だたる企業google, Micro Soft, IBM, PEPSICOそしてデザイナーおなじみのAdobeこれらの社長は皆インド人です。もう一つの共通点は同じ学校、インド工科大学(IIT)を出ていること。
私の友人・知人にもIIT出身者は数多くいますが、何故彼らが、世界中の優秀人材を勝ち抜いて海外でトップまで上り詰められるのか気になり、何度となくインド人に聞いてみました。
彼らの答えは、一般的なもので、『たくさん勉強をしている、競争が激しい』などですが、それは他のアジアの国々も一緒のはずと言ったら、インドの友人は確かに奇妙だねということで調査して記事を書いてくれました。
私のかつての仮説は、
・カーストにおいてエンジニアという職のポジションが悪くないから
・数学が得意な国民であるから
・英語が公用語の一つとして、定着していること
そして、リーダーにとってとても大切な
・多神教であり、様々な思想に対して許容できること
でありましたが、はたして、、、
第一回は、どのような人が世界企業の重要なポジションについて活躍しているかについてです。
以下英語です。
