Learning from Indian Premier League (IPL)

IPL was the best example for cultural management. In each IPL team four foreign players and others local player are there and coach may be from different country. It seemed the team that came last (Knight Riders) in the tournament had among many other reasons the rift between foreign players and Indian players. Technical this team was among the top on paper, having some of the best players. The lesson from this is that whether it is sports or business when teams are formed with diversity (from different culture in this case) they should understand each others cultural bias and differences and work around it to be successful.
