interesting thoughts on professionlism.
in the US, I have been working with a few Bangladeshi technology entrepreneurs, helping them plan for and launch new companies. one observation is that we do real well when in multi-cultural environments where we are following discipline and standards set by the industry at large. but when it comes to running our own show, somehow the discipline breaks down. there are many examples where this is not true, but the point is this "professionalism" problem can follow us wherever we go, doesn't just have to be in bangladesh.
On the other hand, I know plenty of business and social work people in bangladesh who are very professional, but things are just done in a different way. it's all relative.
