The most popular topics were cultural influence and comparison between countries, business practices, studies that focus on one sector or company in India, and business operations and management of foreign companies in India. Finally, after having analysed the results of all the papers under review, we can conclude that although the range and diversity of issues treated make it extremely difficult to establish any general conclusion, we can highlight several characteristics which are present in different aspects of Indian companies: a greater preference for bureaucratic structures than in developed countries; the key role of culture in performance and that culture, ownership control and trust need to be carefully considered in any endeavour to establish a joint-venture with an Indian company. There are some limitations to this study.
