...adapt, Indian companies are establishing major local operations around the world, in the process hiring thousands of Brazilians, Chinese, Eastern Europeans and others. The need to train new recruits in multiple countries is a major test for Indian management, and has sparked a few cultural conflicts as well. Cesar Castelli, the São Paulo - based president of TCS in Brazil, says that the company has had difficulties squeezing more free-spirited Brazilians into an Indian corporate environment run on strict hierarchy and a devotion to internal rules.

Castelli, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who was a police officer for 21 years. "To analyze properly a sample of DNA can cost as much as $10,000. You're not going to be using DNA analysis in every burglary." So prosecutors are now spending a lot of time trying to explain to juries that DNA evidence isn't always essential.
