Abstract

This case illustrates how a company puts into practice the notion of human resources as strategic assets for a company. The company is Infosys, an India based information technology company that uses offshore infrastructure to provide software solutions to clients worldwide. The case describes the organisation culture and the human resource practices of selection, compensation, and appraisal as the mechanisms that enable it to link business strategy with its human resource practices. The case also illustrates the human resource dilemmas such as career management and skill training faced by the software industry. It also illustrates the problems that a software company faces when it enters international markets where it has limited visibility.
