The question is incomplete:
You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why?
-The supervisor was offended you asked him/her and refused to do anything about it
-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself
-Because things get done slowly in India
Answer:
-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself
Explanation:
India is a society with a high power distance. This means that there is hierarchy, inequality and employees expect directions. Also, decisions tend to be centralized and people in high positions expect privileges and a certain status. Because of that, in this situation the reason for not moving the desk from the options given is that the supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself as he/she considers that it is not part of the job as he/she has a higher position that doesn't involve to do that.
The other options are not right as the supervisor would not be offended a this is a culture in which people expect to receive orders and it is not related to things getting done slowly there.
