Abstract: In this era of globalisation, the multinational companies from eastern and western part of the globe are opening their subsidiaries or Joint Ventures in the developing countries and posting the expatriates at different locations. The authors had undertaken the task of understanding the functioning of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in India. The data was collected from four MNCs (two from eastern countries, i.e. Japan and South Korea and two from western, i.e. Sweden and British) operating in India. One of the research objectives of the study was to understand the perception of Indian executives/workforce of the expatriates posted in India. The study inferred that the perception of Indian executives was more positive about the expatriates from the west than the expatriates from the eastern countries and can be suitably used for improving the interpersonal relationship of the employees of the parent company and the host country (developing countries).
