Background

The XYZ is an IT based company located in India with its sub-branches in Pune,Chennai and Hyderabad. The company started its operation in 1999, with the aim to offer IT consulting services and knowledge management services to different industry players. Since the Indian market is a highly competitive market in terms of offering IT services and is regarded as the hub of expert IT services at lower labor cost, such features of the Indian market have attracted the FDI to outsource or partner with the Indian firms in an attempt to achieve the maximum level of service at low cost. Utilizing the opportunity, XYZ succeeded in gaining $250 million worth in the stating 6 years of its business, which has been a huge success, since the market of IT in India is held by the 6 major players, namely Infosys, Tata group and Mahindra group to name few.

In addition to this, since the market is firmly held by these giant players, it is rarely possible for a midsized company to excel and reach into $1 billion in worth. Hence, in order to elevate the position and market share, the XYZ management is planning to leverage its expertise in knowledge management and IT consulting services to gain more revenuers and to cut back the net of the giants in the Indian market.

Also, in order to succeed in the plan, the management has devised the Profitability Strategy which outlines the development of the new strategies and business projects to exceed the company’s earnings and revenues. However,in doing so, the management has to give empowerment and authority to the employees in developing sound projects and then to lead them till the end. Moreover, since the company has ambiguous culture and the high hierarchy system that lacks the value(caring, learning, achieving sharing and social responsibly), the company needs to develop a pool of highly talented, self-motivated employees that would help the XYZ in achieving the highest performance level and productivity in the market.
