- A French manufacturing company named Glasstyle is recruiting to fill positions at its factory in India due to recent resignations. It faces problems like having no local manager and employees being unwilling to wait for promotions. - The document considers three potential employee profiles: a French expatriate, an Indian manager, and an employee named Rajiv. It recommends hiring Rajiv due to his experience with the company, low salary requirements, and suitability to the local Indian culture despite potential language issues. - The recommendation prioritizes the local Indian culture over Glasstyle's culture since the corporate culture must be flexible according to the country. Hiring Rajiv is seen as less risky than a French expatriate from a cultural perspective.
