considered and pre-planned recruitment policy, based in corporate goals, study of environment
and the corporate needs may avoid hasty of ill-considered decisions and may go a long way to
man the organization with the tight type of personnel.
The most commonly adopted practice in an organization is to centralize the recruitment and
selection function.
A “recruitment policy” in its broadest sense involves a commitment by the employer to such
general principles as:-
1 To find and employ the best qualified persons for each job.
2 To retain the best and most promising to those hired.
3 To offer promising opportunities for the life-time working careers.
4 To provide programs and facilitates for personal growth on the job.

They are

2. Personnel policies of other competing organization
3. Organization personnel policies
4. Recruitment sources
5. Recruitment need
6. Recruitment costs
7. Selection criteria and preferences etc.
2.1.5 METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
Recruitment can be broadly categorized under three heads. Namely, Direct method, indirect
26
method and Third method.
DIRECT METHOD:-
One of the widely used direct methods is that of sending of recruiters to colleges and technical
schools. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation with the placement office of a college.
The placement office usually provides help in attraction students, arranging interviews,
furnishing space, and providing student resumes. For managerial professional, and sales
professional, campus recruiting is an extensive operation. Persons reading for MBA or other
technical diplomas are picked up in this manner. Many companies have found employees contact
with the public a very effective method. Other direct methods include sending recruiters to
conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go to the
desired centers.
INDIRECT METHOD:-
Indirect method usually involves advertising in news papers, on the radio, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and broachers. Advertising in newspapers and
magazines, is the most frequently used methods, when qualified or experienced personnel are not
available from other sources. Senior posts are largely filled by such methods when they cannot
be filled by promotion from within.
Advertising is very useful for recruiting blue-collars and hourly workers as
well as scientific, professional, and technical employees. Local newspapers can be a good source
of blue-collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level administrative employees.
THIRD PARTY METHOD:-
These include the use of commercial of private employment agencies, placement offices of
schools colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms, management consulting firms,
indoctrination seminars for college for college professors and friends and relatives.
PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:-
They are the brokers who bring employers and employees together. The specialization of these
agencies enhances their capacities to interpret the needs of their client, to seek out particular
27
types of persons, and to develop proficiency in recognizing the talent of specialized personnel.
STATE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:-
Also known as labor exchanges, they are the main agencies of public employment. They provide
a clearing housing for jobs and job information. These agencies provide a wide range of services-
counseling, assistance in getting jobs information about labor market, labor and wage rates.
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION OR RECRUITMENT FIRMS:-
They maintain complete information records about employed executives. These firms are looked
up on as ‘headhunters’, ‘raiders’ and pirates by organizations which loose personnel through
their efforts. However, these same organizations may employ “executive search firms” to help
them find executive talent. These consulting firms recommend persons of high caliber for
managerial, marketing and production engineer’s posts.
TRADE UNIONS:-
Also provide manual and skilled workers in sufficient numbers.
MODERN SOURCES AND TECHNIQUES OF RECURITMENT
A number of modern recruitment sources and techniques are being used by the
corporate in addition to traditional sources and techniques. These sources and techniques include
walk-in and consult–in, head-hunting, body-shopping, business alliances, and tele-recruitment.
1. WALK-IN:
2. CONSULT-IN:
3. HEAD-HUNTING:
4. BODY-SHOPPING:
5. BUSINESS ALLIANCES:
1. TELE-RECRUITMENT:
The technological revolution in telecommunication helped the organization to
28
use internet as a source of recruitment. Organization advertise the job vacancies through
the world wide web (WWW) internet. The job seekers send their applications through e-
mail or internet. Alternatively, job seekers place their CV’S in the world wide
web/internet, which can be drawn by the perspective employers depending upon their
requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECRUITMENT:
OVERTIME
• When demand for product peaks
• additional income for employee
• It results in Fatigue, increased accidents & more absenteeism
• Need to pay double wages
EMPLOYEE LEASING
• Often called Staff outsourcing
• Useful to small & medium sized firms
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT
• Low labour costs
• Easy access to experienced labour
• Flexibility in future
• DISADVANTAGE- Do not know the work culture of the firm
REFERENCE CHECK:
• The reference of the person should be checked before making a final decision.
• Check through a personal visit or a phone call directly to the applicant’s immediate
29
former supervision, if possible.
• Verify that the information given to you is correct.
• Consider, with judgment, any negative comments you hear and what is not said.
• Checking references can bring to light significant information which may save you
money and future inconvenience.
2.1.6 Recruitment Strategies:
Findings Overview
Organizations were asked what strategies they use to recruit both managerial/professional and
non management candidates. For recruiting managerial/professional candidates, the Internet is
the most popular advertising medium, used by 76 percent of the organizations surveyed.
Organizations regularly utilize internal resources(e.g., internal job postings and employee
referrals) when recruiting both internal and external candidates. Different kinds of agencies are
used to recruit for positions at different levels. — Temporary and government agencies are used
mainly to recruit non-management candidates. — Employment agencies, colleges, and
professional organizations are used more often to recruit managerial/professional
candidates.
Organizational Offerings
The quality of an organization’s offerings affects its ability to attract job candidates.
Organizations believe they offer candidates a strong company reputation (69 percent) and
high-quality benefits packages (65 percent) and learning opportunities (55 percent).
Many organizations do not offer stock options (37 percent) or child care options (36 percent).
Best Practices
Organizations with the most effective recruiting strategies were 15 to 19 percent more likely to
offer candidates high-quality options such as:
30
• Potential for advancement.
• Company reputation.
• Stocks.
• Benefits package.
• Corporate culture.
• Salary scale.
Organizations offering candidates and employees a positive culture (e.g., innovative,
diverse, potential to advance) and learning environment have more satisfied employees and more
successful at retaining them.
Barriers to Effective Recruitment and Selection:
Findings Overview r The surveyed organizations report that the top
barriers to effective recruitment of candidates are:
• Shortage of qualified applicants
• (62 percent).
• Competition for the same applicants
• (62 percent).
• Difficulty in finding and identifying applicants
• (48 percent).
2.2 SELECTION
“Selection is the process of examining the applicants with regard to their suitability for the given
31
job or jobs, and choosing the best candidate and rejecting the others.”
Good recruitment practices are only one key to generating a pool of top job candidates. Equally
important is having a strong basis from which to recruit. If an organization’s policies and
practices are unattractive to candidates, the organization’s ability to generate good candidates
will be limited regardless of he specific recruitment practices they employee.
But what policies and practice do “good” applicants find attractive? Unfortunately, there is no
easy answer to this question because not all “good” applicants are alike, and research shows that
organization’s policies and the individual’s characteristics.
Financial considerations, supply and demand, and other variables impact the recruitment process.
Looking for a qualified person for the IT department is likely to require a broader and possibly
more expensive search. Recruitment indicate that there is an increase in the use of the internet
and interactive employment websites, such as searching web databases, placing online ads at
various career sites, purchasing candidate information from resume services, sending recruitment
materials, to targeted individuals, and placing ads in newspapers can all yield positive results.
Selection is the process in which candidates for employment are divided in two classes-those
application of these tools. Qualified applicants go on to the next hurdle, while the unqualified are
eliminated”. Thus, an effective selection Programe is a non-random process because those
selected have been chosen on the bases of the assumption that they are more likely to be “better”
employees than those who have been rejected.
SELECTION PROCESS:
The organizations can make use of more than one source for carrying out the recruitment
procedure. Once the recruiting sources are identified, suitable candidates are called for the
32
selection process.
SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTION PROCESS:
Definition: It is the process of differentiation between applicants in order to identify (and hire)
those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. Selection of personnel to man the organization
is a crucial, complex and continuing function. The ability of an organization to attain its goals
effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends upon the effectiveness of
its selection program. If right personnel is selected the remaining functions of personnel
management becomes easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at an optimum
level and employee- employer relations will be congenial. In an opposite situation where the
right person is not selected, the remaining functions of personnel management, employee-
employer relations will not be effective. If the right person is selected, he becomes a valuable
asset to the organization. In case of faulty selection, the employee will become a liability to the
organization.
who are to be offered employment and those who are not. The process might be called rejection,
since more candidates may be turned away than hired. For this reason, selection is frequently
described as a negative process, in contrast with the positive program of recruitment.
According to Yoder:-“the hiring process is of one or many ‘go, no-go’ gauges. Candidates are
screened by the
SELECTION PROCESS CHART
33
SCREENING:
34
Retention Survey found that nationally small agencies took an average of 6.84 weeks to
conduct the screening processes, while large agencies took an average of 11.51 weeks
(U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Hiring and Keeping Police
Officers)
GOAL: reduce this time so that valuable candidates are still available
PRINCIPLES OF THE SCREENING:
A fair set of screening criteria
The criteria must be in line with the job content and appointment as well as advertised
requirements
Applicants should be clear on the criteria that apply
The criteria should apply to all applicants in a consistent manner
Any waivers should be fully motivated and approved
Declarations should be made of whether any candidate is related to or friends of an
official in the component where the vacancy exists
The various activities of the screening process should be documented and put on record
INITIAL REVIEWING AND TESTING:
Education And Experience Evaluation
Letters Of Recommandation
Elf-Assessment
Gaptitude Andeneral Trait Test
Perfomance Test For Specific Jobs
2.2.1 STEPS INVOLVED IN SELECTION PROCESS:
35
A scientific selection procedure completes in 10 basic steps which are as follows:
1. Application Form.
2. Written Examination.
3. Preliminary Interview.
4. Group Discussion.
5. Tests.
6. Final Interview.
7. Medical Examination.
8. Reference Checks.
9. Line Manager’s Decision, and
10. Employment
TESTING IN SELECTION:
Testing represents an additional tool in the kit of the employment office. It supplements direct
personal contracts in interviews of various types with a wide range of tests. All operate on the
general theory that human behavior can best be forecast by sampling it. The test creates a
situation in which the applicant reacts; reactions are regarded as useful samples of his behavior
in the work he is applying.
Formal testing programs have becomes increasingly common in modern selection. A major
reason is their convenience. Another is their relatively low cost. Perhaps unfortunately, test
results appeal to many managers because they provide quantitative measures of something. They
ate, for this reason, more easily compared. They seem to bring the personalities of applicants
down to a common denominator. Another reason for the growing use of tests is the fact that they
have been and are the subject of extensive research.
36
TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT TESTS:
A simple classification of the tests used in selection would distinguish five principal types,
including achievement, aptitude, interest, personality, and combination tests.
Achievement Tests: sample and measure the applicant’s accomplishments and developed
abilities. They are performance tests; they ask the applicant’s accomplishments and developed
abilities. They are performances tests; they ask the applicant to demonstrate certain knowledge
skills.
APTITUDE TESTS:
Measures an applicant’s capacity, his potential. Their simples form is the intelligence test, which
is intended to measure the ability to learn, to remember, and to reason.
INTEREST TESTS:
Use selected questions or items to identify patterns of interests-areas in which the individual
shoes special concern, fascination and involvement.
PERSONALITY TESTS:
Probe for the dominant qualities of the personality as a whole the combination of aptitudes,
interests, and usual mood and temperament. Whole the combination of aptitudes, interests, and
usual mood and temperament.
GUIDES TO TESTING:
Dale s. Beach suggested the following guidelines for the employment test.
1. Tests should be taken in addition to other selection techniques as entire can only provide
information about a part of total behavior of a candidate.
2. Test information should be taken into consideration to find out candidate’s weakness rather
than strength.
3. Tests are helpful in pocking a most likely successful group from a larger group rather than
successful individuals.
4. A test should be tested in one’s own organization as “a valid test in one that measures.
37
5. Tests can be held only in case of failure of other selection devices in providing satisfactory.
6. Test administrators should not heavily depend upon test score in making decision regarding
selection of a candidate.
Relationship between tests score and job success is not always linear. Hence, decision-makers
should use the test score judiciously.
OUTCOMES OF SELECTION DECISION:
• Mainly four different types
• True positive
• True negative
• False positive error:
Results in cost for training, transfer or terminating the service of employee.
Costs of replacing an employee with a fresh one-hiring, training, and replacement.
• False negative error:
Costs associated difficult to estimate

References are used in most selection processes.
During the selection process it is believed that former employers, friends and professional
personnel give reliable evaluation of applicant.
Reference checks are generally made by mail or telephone and sometimes personally
also.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS:
Most organizations do not use psychological tests for selection.
But larger the size of the firm, more are the chances of using psychological tests.
Larger companies that can afford to conduct psychological tests do so to have a more
detailed and accurate selection procedure.
Smaller companies are more dependent on interviews.
42
INTERVIEWING:
Interview is the interaction between the interviewer and the applicant.
It is the most common method of selection.
It is a good method to get accurate information about the applicant.
TYPES OF INTERVIEWS:
1. Informal interview
2. Formal interview
3. Planned interview
4. Patterned interview
5. Non-directive interview
6. Depth interview
7. Stress interview
8. Group interview

(g)Depth interview
3. DECISION-MAKING INTERVIEW
After the candidates are examined by the experts including the line managers of the
organization in the core areas of the job, the head of the department/ section concerned
interviews the candidates once again, mostly through informal discussion. The interviewer
examines the interest of the candidate in the job, organization, reaction/adaptability to the
working conditions, career planning, promotional opportunities, work adjustment and allotment
etc. the personnel Manager also interviews the candidates with a view to find out his
reaction/acceptance regarding salary, allowances, benefits, promotions, opportunities etc. The
head of the department and the personnel manager exchange the views and then they jointly
inform their decision to the chairman of the interview board, who finally makes the decision
about the candidate’s performance and their ranks in the interview.
44
INTERVIEW PROCESS:
Interview is not a single step. It is a process consisting of several steps. The major steps are
grouped into four categories.
Before starting the interview, the important areas for asking questions should be worked
out.
The candidate’s application form should be examined to find his/her skills, incidents and
experiences which are related to important areas for asking questions.
The interviewer should make the candidate relaxed by starting with questions that are not
directly related with the job.
After the candidate is relaxed, the interviewer should ask the questions related to the job.
Now the interviewer should make a tentative decision about the candidate.
Approval by the Supervisor:
At this stage, we can reach the conclusion about which candidate should be hired.
Physical Examination:
Physical examination is done to check whether the applicant’s physical capabilities match
with the job requirements or not.
The three basic objectives of physical examination are:
o To determine the applicant’s physical capabilities.
o To protect the company from needless claims under workers’ compensation laws.
o To stop communicable diseases from entering the organization.
45
INDUCTION:
It is the process of introducing the new employee to the organization.
According to a report, more than half of voluntary resignations occur within the first six
months.
A good induction program helps to take care of this problem and reduce the costs
associated with it.

3.1INDUSTRY PROFILE
PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY
The 15 year old software company is one of the cardinals and basic infrastructure which
enjoys core sector status and play a crucial role in the economic development and growth of a
country. Being a core sector this industry was subject to price and distribution controls almost
uninterruptedly from past 15 years.

Software Industry consists of that part of computer programming activity that is traded between
software-producing organizations and corporate or individual software consumers. Traded
software represents only a fraction of domestic software activity, whose extent cannot be reliably
estimated, since much computer programming takes place within firms and its value Sis not
captured by the industrial census or software industry analysts. According to the industry analyst
INPUT, in 2010 the U.S. market for traded software was $138 billion (Table 1). The U.S.
software industry is a major exporter, and the total revenues of the top 500 U.S. software firms in
the year 2010 were $259 billion, according to the trade publication Software Magazine. The
traded software industry consists of three main sectors: programming services, enterprise
software products, and shrink-wrapped software products. These three sectors became
established in the mid-1950s, the mid-1960s, and the late 1970s, respectively, in response to the
technological opportunities and the business environment of the time. The most successful firms
developed specialized capabilities that enabled them to prosper within their sector; however, this
specialization made it difficult to move into other sectors, and very few firms have been
successful in more than one software sector. It should be noted that the software industry is not
confined to independent software vendors, but also includes computer manufacturers such as
IBM, Unisys, and NCR who supply programming services and software products alongside their
hardware offerings and are among the largest software suppliers. These are sometimes referred to
as "captive" markets because computer users have relatively little choice in the supplier of basic
operating software for corporate systems.

The United States has been the world leader in the software industry throughout its history, and
today accounts for half of global revenues overall, and an estimated three-quarters of the
software products market. A notable feature of the industry is its low concentration: there are
many thousands of software firms in the United States and throughout the world, but relatively
few mostly American global players.

SECTORS OF THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
1. PROGRAMMING SERVICES:
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING SERVICES: Dynamic Ventures provides software
programming services. It creates user friendly solutions to very complex problems. Company
includes the work in their core product offerings.
The teams are responsible for the development of major commercial software products and
web applications. They deliver more reliable applications in shorter time frames using the
iterative "evolving milestone" process. It enables one to achieve best case results even when
they do not have specifications or their specifications start out vague and change often.
CURRENT CONDITIONS: According to Software Magazine in January 2011, "The trend of
engaging outside service firms to perform critical IT functions continues." This statement was
borne out by the specialties reported by firms in the journal's list of top 500 computer software
and services companies of 2010. The largest primary business sector--for the third year in a
row--was system integration services and IT consulting. Outsourcing services was the second
largest, followed by IT services/consulting/staffing and outsourced product
development/testing. Of companies with more than $1 billion in revenues, Salesforce.com
increased its sales by 44 percent. According to Software Magazine, "The Company "insists on
continuing its 'no software' marketing positioning even though [it] sells access to its software
through the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model." Hewlett-Packard also showed strong growth,
increasing its revenues by more than 50 percent, due mostly to its acquisition of former rival
Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008. Those providing computer programming and related
services were required to keep up with constantly changing technology. For example,
according to a report by IBIS World, in the 2010s, "Newer platforms and technologies, such as
software as a service, open source software, and cloud computing, will penetrate the industry
and change the landscape." In the meantime, services in wireless and mobile applications were
strong growth areas as the nation entered the second decade of the twenty-first century.
According to research firm Gartner, the mobile applications industry was predicted to almost
triple in 2011 to $15.1 billion.
INDUSTRY LEADERS: Custom programming services are furnished by a diverse group of
companies, including several multinational firms that provide a comprehensive set of IT
services to large businesses and government agencies. One of the largest was IBM Corp. By
2010 IBM's services unit accounted for more half of its revenues, which in 2010 were just
under $100 billion. Hewlett-Packard was another leader. The firm doubled its size when it
purchased Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008, and revenues in 2010 reached $125 billion.
Oracle and Computer Sciences Corp. were other significant players, registering 2010 sales of
$26.8 billion and $16.1 billion, respectively, as was Accenture, whose annual revenues
surpassed $23 billion. Smaller companies that provided programming services included
Analysts International Corp., CIBER (Consultants in Business, Engineering, and Research)
Inc., and Keane International Inc., which was acquired by NTT Data in 2011.
2. ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS: Enterprise software describes a collection of
computer programs with common business applications, tools for modeling how the entire
52
organization works, and development tools for building applications unique to the
organization. The software is intended to solve an enterprise-wide problem, rather than a
departmental problem. Enterprise level software aims to improve the enterprise's productivity
and efficiency by providing business logic support functionality. According to Martin Fowler,
"Enterprise applications are about the display, manipulation, and storage of large amounts of
often complex data and the support or automation of business processes with that
data."Although there is no single, widely accepted list of enterprise software characteristics,
they generally include performance, scalability, and robustness. Furthermore, enterprise
software typically has interfaces to other enterprise software (for example LDAP to directory
services) and is centrally managed (a single admin page, for example).
ENTERPRISE APPLICATION SOFTWARE:
Enterprise application software is application software that performs business functions such as
order processing, procurement, production scheduling, customer information management,
energy management, and accounting. It is typically hosted on servers and provides simultaneous
services to a large number of users, typically over a computer network. This is in contrast to a
single-user application that is executed on a user's personal computer and serves only one user at
a time.
a. TYPES:
• Enterprise software can be designed and implemented by an information technology (IT)
group within a company.
• It may also be purchased from an independent enterprise software developer that often
installs and maintains the software for their customers. Installation, customization, and
maintenance can also be outsourced to an IT consulting company.
• Another model is based on a concept called on-demand software, or Software as a
Service (SaaS). The on-demand model of enterprise software is made possible through
the widespread distribution of broadband access to the Internet. Software as Service
vendors maintains enterprise software on servers within their own company data center
and then provides access to the software to their enterprise customers via the Internet.
Enterprise software is often categorized by the business function that it automates - such
as accounting software or sales force automation software. Similarly for industries - for
example, there are enterprise systems devised for the health care industry, or for
manufacturing enterprises.
b. DEVELOPERS:Major organizations in the enterprise software field include SAP, IFS AB, QAD Inc,
IBM, BMC Software, HP Software Division, Redwood Software, UC4 Software, JBoss (Red Hat),
Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Oracle Corporation, Inquest Technologies, ScheduALL, CA
Technologies, Wipro Technologies, [Johnson Controls], and ASG Software Solutions but there are
thousands of competing vendors.
53
VALUATION UPDATE FOR THE ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY:
Transaction volumes in the enterprise software sector increased when compared to the prior
month but decreased against the level of activity reported in March 2010. According to Capital
IQ, there were 55 deals announced in the enterprise software sector in March 2011 compared to
37 in the prior month and 63 in March 2010. Despite the moderate level of acquisition activity in
March, well-capitalized firms remain interested in strategic expansion.
3. SHRINK-WRAPPED SOFTWARE:
The invention in 1971 of the inexpensive microprocessor a computer on a single microchip
transformed the computer, creating a consumer product from what had previously been a costly
capital good. Microprocessors were used in both videogame consoles and personal computers,
and a "shrink-wrapped" or "boxed" software industry developed in the 1970s to satisfy the
demand for programs for the new computer products. Shrink-wrapped software products were
distinguished from enterprise software goods by low prices, high sales volume, and different
distribution channels. Consumer software typically sold in tens or hundreds of thousands of
units, at a price of a few hundred dollars, at most. Shrink-wrapped software was sold through
retail outlets and mail order, with little or no after-sales service, compared with the direct sales
forces and account managers employed by enterprise software vendors.
One of the first firms to catch the wave of personal computing was Microsoft, founded in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Microsoft specialized in the
basic operating software for what were then still known as micro-computers, and which mainly
sold to hobbyists. Mass-market personal computers, such as the Apple II and the Tandy TRS-80,
arrived in 1977– 1978. Within a couple of years two software applications, the word processor
and the spreadsheet, made the personal computer generally useful. The word processor concept
had existed in the corporate computer world, and many entrepreneurs simultaneously hit on the
idea of creating a product for the personal computer market. However, one product, WordStar
(produced by a San Rafael-based start-up, MicroPro International), secured a commanding share
of the market. By contrast, the first personal computer spreadsheet, VisiCalc, produced by
Software Arts of Cambridge, Massachusetts, had no clear precedent in mainframe computing,
and it took the world by storm, initially having the market entirely to itself, although within a
couple of years it was imitated by dozens of "clones."
54
BMR:
BMR is a professional service organization offering a range of Tax, Risk and M&A advisory for
businesses of all sizes, at the local, national and international levels.
BMR was found on October 1, 2004, and within a short span of time, has won the confidence of
numerous Fortune 500 clients and is the partner of choice for their advisory services.
BMR COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS:
The decision of the KHC (KARNATAKA HIGH COURT) on software purchases has gone into
the crux of the issue which has seen a divergence of views on characterization of income, not
only in Indian jurisprudence, but world over. The foundation of this ruling lies in the
interpretation of the provisions of the ICA and the KHC. The KHC has not concurred with the
view of the Delhi High Court in the case of Dynamic Vertical Private Limited, in which it was
held that payments for shrink wrap software do not constitute royalty, since the ruling was
rendered in the context of section 40a(I) of the Act. However, the KHC has not appreciated that
the substantial issue was still the same.
Internationally, the taxability of software payments as royalty has been a widely debated subject.
The 2010 update of the OECD model tax convention on income and on capital recognizes that
copying the software program onto the computer’s hard drive or random access memory or
making an archival copy is an essential step in utilizing the program and therefore, rights in
relation to these acts of copying, where they do no more than enable the effective operation of
the program by the user, should be disregarded in analyzing the character of the transaction for
tax purposes. However, India has reserved its position on this interpretation and has indicated
that some of the software payments may constitute royalty.
At a very practical level, companies would now need to worry about an enhanced zeal of the
Revenue Authorities in seeking to review such payments, both for the present and prior years.
The KHC’s ruling would impact companies in many ways:
• Issue of notices for present and past payments for software procurements Distributors and
end consumers alike would need to strategies procurements and tax
withholding strategies
• There could be a huge tax and interest impact on corporate tax disallowances, owing to
non withholding of taxes
• Increased cost of business, owing to the fact that most overseas vendors are passing on
the cost to the Indian consumers
• Domestic software procurements could also soon come under far greater review,
considering that the definition of royalties draws reference to the same provisions under
the Act
Clearly, the last has not been said on the subject and times ahead would be interesting as well as
challenging, and the outcome of the appeals to be filed before the Supreme Court will be keenly
awaited.
55
INDIAN IT INDUSTRY:
INDIAN IT INDUSTRY – PRESENT STATUS:
Information technology (IT) is defined as the design, development, implementation and
management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and
computer hardware. Today, it has grown to cover most aspects of computing and technology.
India is a preferred destination for companies looking to offshore their IT and back-office
functions. It also retains its low-cost advantage and is a financially attractive location when
viewed in combination with the business environment it offers and the availability of skilled
people. The country’s domestic market for business process outsourcing (BPO) is projected to
grow over 23 per cent to touch US$ 1.4 billion in 2011, says global research group Gartner. In
2010, the domestic BPO market was worth US$ 1.1 billion. The firm predicts that the domestic
BPO market would reach US$ 1.69 billion in 2012 and increase to US$ 2.47 billion by 2014.
With the first quarter of the new fiscal 2011-12 offering positive business outlook, hiring
sentiments for sectors like IT, ITeS and telecom have risen by over 20 per cent, says a study by
Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd. As per the Employment Outlook Report for the period April-June
2011, released by Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd., hiring intent from IT and ITeS was the highest
in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune. India's top technology firms like TCS,
Infosys, Wipro and HCL are readying plans to gain a bigger share of their largest market, US, by
aggressively chasing contracts being served by multinational rivals. Analysts expect the top IT
firms to grow between 23-27 per cent in the FY2012 on the back of more number of
discretionary projects, improved pricing, and robust business volumes.
PERFORMANCE:
In India, it is important to make the distinction between IT and ITES (IT enabled services). The
latter refers to services delivered over telecom networks/ Internet to a range of external business
areas (Colloquially referred to as KPO and BPO) and is treated elsewhere on this website (see
ITES industry overview). Hence, we shall focus on the IT industry here by limiting the
discussion to electronics hardware manufacturing and software development and service. Despite
the unprecedented global economic downturn, the Indian IT industry has weathered the storm
well, and will achieve sustainable growth going forward. India is expected to witness an average
8% salary increase in 2010 and ~50% of companies have strong hiring plans, according to a
survey by global HR consultancy Mercer, giving yet another indication of the high confidence
levels among the country’s corporate houses after the economy staged a faster-than-expected
recovery from the slowdown. While the larger players continue to lead growth, gradually
increasing their share in the industry aggregate, several high-performing small and medium
enterprises have also stood out.
56
GROWTH POTENTIAL:
The strong demand for electronic hardware and software in India has been fuelled by a variety of
drivers including the high growth rate of the economy, emergence of a vast domestic market
catering to the new generation of young consumers, a thriving middleclass populace with
increasing disposable incomes and a relatively low-cost work force having advanced technical
skills. Indeed, the Government has also identified growth of this sector as a thrust area as there
remains great expectation for significant growth given the fairly low levels of penetration of
technology among the 1.1 billion population; There were only 60 million Internet users in 2009,
7 million DVD players and personal computers were sold in 2008-09, and 11 million new mobile
subscribers were added every month in the same period. In this scenario there is now a big
opportunity to step up the production to gain higher global share besides meeting the domestic
demands. The Indian IT sector has also built a strong reputation for its high standards of software
development ability, service quality and information security in the foreign market- which has
been acknowledged globally and has helped enhance buyer confidence. The industry continues
its drive to set global benchmarks in quality and information security through a combination of
provider and industry-level initiatives and strengthening the overall frameworks, creating greater
awareness and facilitating wider adoption of standards and best practices.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
The industry is likely to continue growing from strength to strength, as local players incorporate
best in class practices from global counterparts whilst retaining their edge in terms of lower cost
of labor and focused governmental investments.
New graduates with degrees in related fields such as electrical engineering and computer science
can hope to achieve significant professional growth and a healthy remuneration from companies
looking to hire the best talent available, given the high proportion who leave to pursue jobs in
this sector overseas..
Indian Software Industry:
In 2008-09, the software industry in India was worth Rs. 158.9 billion (US$ 3.9 billion). If the
value of in-house development, which is taking place at many large corporate, is added then the
figure would touch around Rs. 190 billion (US$ 4.6 billion). This phenomenal growth has not
been achieved overnight. The C.A.G.R (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) for the Indian
software industry revenues in the last five years has been 56.3 percent. Here the C.A.G.R. for the
software export industry has been 60.71 percent while that for the domestic market has been
46.05 percent.
57
Domestic Software Market:
In 2008-09, the domestic software market has been estimated at Rs. 49.5 billion (US$ 1.25
billion) and this does not include the in-house development of software by end users. The
domestic software market has shown a C.A.G.R. of 46.05 percent which has been steadily
improving in the last few year. The growth rate of the domestic software market was 41.02
percent 2008-09. The domestic software market is expected to gross Rs. 73 billion in 2011-2021.
With the rigorous enforcement of Copyright laws, increase in government spending on I.T. it is
expected that in the coming years, the domestic market for software can even register more than
50 percent annual growth rates. Also, the government has implemented zero import duty on
software. This is already having buoyant effect on the market and there is a increasing trend of
buying software through the Internet. It is expected that by 2018 revenues of Indian domestic
software market would touch US $ 37 billion. In the next few years, the prominent growth in the
domestic software market is expected to get boost by segments such as banking, E-governance,
defense, etc.
Software Export Industry:
The Indian software export industry continues to show impressive growth rates.
In terms of Indian rupees, the C.A.G.R. over the past five years has been as high as 60.71
percent. The industry exported software and services worth Rs. 0.30 billion (U.S.$ 0.03 billion)
in 1985; in 2008-09, a total export of Rs. 109 billion (U.S.$ 2.65 billion) was achieved and it is
expected that during 1999-2000, software exports will be worth Rs. 172 billion (U.S.$ 3.9
billion). The software industry in India expects to reach an export level of U.S.$ 6.3 billion by
2000-01 and U.S.$ 10 billion by 2013-14. The National IT Task Force of India has set a target of
U.S $ 50 billion of annual I.T. software and services exports by 2018. For achieving this
velocity of business, both the software industry and the Government of India are currently taking
some bold and purposeful steps. Amongst others, this exercise includes path-breaking measures
adopted by the National IT Task Force to further liberate the economy, simplification of
procedures, and development of additional resources for technical manpower development, new
marketing channels, enhancing global brand equity and providing state-of-the-art infrastructure
for software development. The thrust on I.T. services like E-commerce, Software Development,
Interactive Integration services, Application Service Providers (ASP’s).
Location of Software Companies:
The mushrooming of new software companies until a couple of years ago was
limited to a few cities. The industry was mainly concentrated around Bangalore, Mumbai,
Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad and Calcutta. However, with the InfoTech revolution sweeping
India, we have witnessed a very high growth of InfoTech companies in other cities and towns as
well. Most of the state governments have today accorded the highest priority to the development
of the InfoTech sector in their states.
58
SWOT ANALYSIS:
1. STRENGTHS
High Quality & Price Performance: Quality is the hallmark of Indian I.T. software and, services.
ISO 9000 certification and SEI Level 5 are the order of the day. High quality knowledge workers
and attractive price performance have been and will continue to be a key component of India's
value proposition.
Large Pool of Knowledge Workers: The basic raw material for any software development
activity or a dotcom start up is the availability of quality knowledge workers. India's main
competitive advantage is its abundant, high-quality and cost effective human resources.
Currently, India trains more than 73,000 professionals a year and has around 80,000 people
working in the software and services sector. This is the second largest I.T. work force in the
world. Recently, the Government of India has committed to providing computer education in
every school by year 2003.
State-of-the-art Technologies: A majority of Indian software companies use state-of-the-art
technologies, including the latest in client-networking, E-commerce, Internet, ASP, CASE tools,
communication software, ATM, protocols, GUI etc.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Indian software professionals easily adapt themselves to new
technologies. In the software industry, where technological obsolescence is the order of the day,
flexibility to adapt to new technologies a major strength
Reliability: Software programmers from India are able to provide expertise for all or large
projects with dollar savings. The motto is ultimate adherence delivery schedules and customer
satisfaction
Off-shore Development through Datacom links: Off-shore software development in India
especially through high-speed datacom (satellite links), provides immense cost and time saving.
Large Projects: Indian companies increasingly large numbers are demonstrating their ability to
handle large projects (more than 500-700 man- ears), including turnkey projects.
High Growth: Software exports as well as the domestic demand in the last few years have been
consistently growing at annual growth rate of about 50 percent.
59
Engineering Base: A strong base of national institutes, engineering college and universities has
laid a strong foundation of education in engineering skills amongst Indian software
professionals. The IIT’s (Indian Institute of Information Technology) in various cities are the
new institutions to join the bandwagon.
Mathematical and Logic Expertise: India’s success in providing efficient software solutions can
be also attributed to the mathematical and logical ability Indian’s.
High Aspirations: The Indian IT software and services industry has set itself higher aspirations
and goals. The recent aspiration is to reach annual revenues of U.S. $ 87 billion by 2008 (from a
level of U.S. $3.9 billion during 1998 99), achieve 100 percent literacy, more, employment and
entrepreneurship opportunities.
Indians in Silicon Valley: As per a recent survey, 23 of the Fortune 500 Company CEOs are of
Indian origin. It has been reported that a business plan of a dotcom company in Silicon valley,
U.S.A. receives higher priority if an Indian name associated with it. The successful India in
Silicon Valley has organize themselves under the Indus Entrepreneurs Group (TiE).
Government Encouragement: Since 1999 the Government of India has accorded thrust area
status to the software sector. The Government has amended the Copyright Law to make it one of
the toughest in the world; eliminated import duty on computer software; exempted profits
derived from software exports from Income Tax etc. The Government of India has also set up
innovative scheme like Software Technology Parks, etc., for promoting software exports.
Infrastructure: A growing number of State Governments and cities are building hi-tech buildings
and habitats to accommodate the ever increasing numbers of software companies and enterprises.
These are in the form of intelligent habitats and buildings and include infrastructural support like
high- class value-added data communication services, captive power, recreational facilities, etc.
They incorporate state-of- art facilities viz. plug-and-play features. This is assisting companies to
quickly set up their software operations in India.
Global Research & Development: More and more multinationals are setting up their global R&D
units in India, recognizing the immense power of local talent.

2.WEAKNESSES
Lack of Package Orientation: Although, a few companies have started making shrink-wrapped
software packages, the industry as a whole is still not oriented towards development of world
class 'shrink-wrapped' software packages. Thus, the industry is not able to take advantage of a
multiplier effect for growth in revenues.
Lack of Domestic Computerization: Lack of adequate computerization has led to a relatively
weak domestic software market. Even, the PC penetration rate is very low.
Lack of Internet Penetration: With low penetration of PC’s, it is obvious that Internet penetration
is also poor. At the end of the year 1999, India could only boast of 6,10,000 Internet connections
with about 2.1 million users. The recently announced Internet Service Provider policy is
expected to improve the situation.
Original Technology: The Indian software industry possesses the expertise to absorb and use the
latest technology. However, barring a few exceptions, it has still not produced enough original
technology breakthroughs. Succinctly put, the industry has not created original operating systems
or new computer languages and technologies, which could be used globally
.
Project Management Skills: As the Indian software industry has been growing at a fast rate,
most of the project managers are becoming entrepreneurs, thus creating a gap in demand and
supply of project management skills.
Venture Capital: In building a robust venture creation process, India still faces few constraints.
To build a prolific venture community, India needs to focus on boosting all stages of venture
creation process and have simplified procedures so that the domestic Venture Capital movement
can flourish and overseas Venture Capital funds can be attracted.
Localization: With the exception of isolated cases, not much exists in providing software
applications in innumerable local languages. Thus, computer penetration in India is restricted to
merely the English speaking population.
61
3.OPPORTUNITIES
Global Market: The market is large and rapidly changing-from a mix of legacy client server to
web / package-based services. Market openings are emerging across I.T. services, software
products, I.T. enabled services and E-businesses, and creating a number of new opportunities for
Indian companies.
Domestic Demand: The corporate, government and consumer sector of the Indian domestic
market offers a U.S.$ 18 billion opportunity by 2008 to software and services companies.
Outsourcing: The global outsourcing business was worth U.S.$ 77 billion in 1997 and has been
growing at the rate of 15-18 percent per annum. A recent survey indicates that by 2002, more
than 59 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies and other multinationals will outsource some part
of their application development and maintenance activities. India can gain and corner a greater
marketplace.
E-Commerce/E-Business: India not only has a huge opportunity to service this market but also
has a unique opportunity to address the needs of the NRI community around the world.
Overseas Listings: India today commands a very high respect among investors in India and
overseas. Almost all major overseas stock exchanges -are keen for Indian software companies to
list themselves on their respective exchanges. This is a major opportunity for the Indian software
industry to attract the requisite investments.
Internet Service Provider (ISP) Policy: The recent permission to allow private ISP's operate in
India and set up their own gateways will unprecedented Internet proliferation throughout India.
62
4.THREATS
Government Interference: In the past decade, the Government and industry have worked very
well together in India for the success of the I.T. software and services industry. Now the
Government's role needs to be increasingly directed towards providing suitable infrastructure and
continuing its role in the simplification of policies. Any further plans for Government control,
restrictions or undue interference could well pose a threat to the industry.
Telecom Infrastructure: The immediate need of the hour in India is to have a world class telecom
infrastructure at globally competitive tariffs. The Department of Telecommunications has taken a
number of initiatives including the National Telecommunication Backbone, National Internet
Backbone, and plans for providing high bandwidth Internet connectivity to remote corners of
India. However, Government monopoly, lack of speed and adherence to archaic
telecommunication rules and regulations can prove to be a threat to the industry.
Lack of Speed: The world is moving at the speed of Internet. The decision- making and time
taken for implementation in India needs to be at a much faster pace so that the Indian I.T.
software and services industry does not lose any opportunities.
Infrastructure: Although, the software industry is growing at a phenomenal rate, many other
sectors in India have not yet been able to keep pace with it. Lately, almost all major cities are
building hi-tech buildings to house the software industry. These buildings have state-of-art
infrastructure, data communication facilities, captive power etc. But, lack of power, highways,
housing and international airports is some cities has become a major constraint.
Cost: Rising cost of infrastructure, basic amenities and salaries can pose a threat if not
adequately balanced with value addition.
Protectionism by Export Destinations: Many countries in North America and Western Europe are
creating protective and non-tariff trade barriers, especially with regard to the movement of
skilled manpower. Visa issues and non-tariff trade barrier may prove to be a threat. India should
insist for removal of non-trade tariff barriers at WTO.

The recruitment policy in MANASI is very clear. The policy and procedure followed
towards recruitment of its employee is much depended upon merit and expertise in the
employees. The employment as provided basing upon the service rules and commissions, which
are is vague. Initially employees from animal husbandry department were given employment and
in due course employees from industrial and treasury was also preferred. As the organization
developed in its structure, by leaps and bounds there was death of efficient and sufficient
employees. So as to bridge the gap, the doors were open towards the employment of candidate’s
on the basis of deputation. With regards to the recruitment of the supervisor and other works un
different cadre, the federation follows the present rules and regulations. As pre the

Human resource is the most important asset of an organization. It ensures sufficient supply, proper quantity and as well as effective utilization of human resources. In order to meet human resources needs, and organization will have to plan in advance about the requirement and the sources, etc. The organization may also have to undertake recruiting selecting and training processes.

RECRUITMENT
  • 18. 18 INTRODUCTION: Recruitment forms the first in the process, which continues with selection and ceases with the placement of the candidate. It is the next step in the procurement function, the first being the manpower planning, Recruitment makes it possible to acquit the number and types of people necessary to ensure the continued operation of the organization.” Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicants for actual or anticipated organizational vacancies”. Recruitment has been regarded as the most important function of personnel administration, because unless the right type of people is hired, even the best plans, organization charts and control systems would not do much good. Definition: “Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force”. - Dale Yoder “Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for job in the organizations recruitment is the activity that links the employers and the job seekers”. - Edwin B.Flippo 2.1.1 PURPOSES AND IMPORTANCE:

EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT: In the working place is essential to a company’s long term success. By hiring correctly, an organization adds the talent it needs and can enjoy the benefits in increased productivity and morale. However this process is not simple and if the careful process of selection is not followed: you can be mired with poorly skilled, unmotivated and un-loyal labor force which can impact future profits as well as other employee behavior. Recruitment, Quite often this word stands alone when some gaming companies develop a human resources management strategy. An organization cannot develop a recruitment strategy without simultaneously for mulcting an employee retention plan. Simply stated, it is one thing to attract workers, but quite another to retain them.

A well considered and pre-planned recruitment policy, based in corporate goals, study of environment and the corporate needs may avoid hasty of ill-considered decisions and may go a long way to man the organization with the tight type of personnel. The most commonly adopted practice in an organization is to centralize the recruitment and selection function. A “recruitment policy” in its broadest sense involves a commitment by the employer to such general principles as:- 1 To find and employ the best qualified persons for each job. 2 To retain the best and most promising to those hired. 3 To offer promising opportunities for the life-time working careers. 4 To provide programs and facilitates for personal growth on the job. The following factors should be taken into considerations in formulating recruitment policy. They are 1. Government policies 2. Personnel policies of other competing organization 3. Organization personnel policies 4. Recruitment sources 5. Recruitment need 6. Recruitment costs 7. Selection criteria and preferences etc. 2.1.5 METHODS OF RECRUITMENT Recruitment can be broadly categorized under three heads. Namely, Direct method, indirect
  • 26. 26 method and Third method. DIRECT METHOD:- One of the widely used direct methods is that of sending of recruiters to colleges and technical schools. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation with the placement office of a college. The placement office usually provides help in attraction students, arranging interviews, furnishing space, and providing student resumes. For managerial professional, and sales professional, campus recruiting is an extensive operation. Persons reading for MBA or other technical diplomas are picked up in this manner. Many companies have found employees contact with the public a very effective method. Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go to the desired centers. INDIRECT METHOD:- Indirect method usually involves advertising in news papers, on the radio, in trade and professional journals, technical magazines and broachers. Advertising in newspapers and magazines, is the most frequently used methods, when qualified or experienced personnel are not available from other sources. Senior posts are largely filled by such methods when they cannot be filled by promotion from within. Advertising is very useful for recruiting blue-collars and hourly workers as well as scientific, professional, and technical employees. Local newspapers can be a good source of blue-collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level administrative employees. THIRD PARTY METHOD:- These include the use of commercial of private employment agencies, placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms, management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college for college professors and friends and relatives. PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:- They are the brokers who bring employers and employees together. The specialization of these agencies enhances their capacities to interpret the needs of their client, to seek out particular
  • 27. 27 types of persons, and to develop proficiency in recognizing the talent of specialized personnel. STATE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:- Also known as labor exchanges, they are the main agencies of public employment. They provide a clearing housing for jobs and job information. These agencies provide a wide range of services- counseling, assistance in getting jobs information about labor market, labor and wage rates. PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION OR RECRUITMENT FIRMS:- They maintain complete information records about employed executives. These firms are looked up on as ‘headhunters’, ‘raiders’ and pirates by organizations which loose personnel through their efforts. However, these same organizations may employ “executive search firms” to help them find executive talent. These consulting firms recommend persons of high caliber for managerial, marketing and production engineer’s posts. TRADE UNIONS:- Also provide manual and skilled workers in sufficient numbers. MODERN SOURCES AND TECHNIQUES OF RECURITMENT A number of modern recruitment sources and techniques are being used by the corporate in addition to traditional sources and techniques. These sources and techniques include walk-in and consult–in, head-hunting, body-shopping, business alliances, and tele-recruitment. 1. WALK-IN: 2. CONSULT-IN: 3. HEAD-HUNTING: 4. BODY-SHOPPING: 5. BUSINESS ALLIANCES: 1. TELE-RECRUITMENT: The technological revolution in telecommunication helped the organization to
  • 28. 28 use internet as a source of recruitment. Organization advertise the job vacancies through the world wide web (WWW) internet. The job seekers send their applications through e- mail or internet. Alternatively, job seekers place their CV’S in the world wide web/internet, which can be drawn by the perspective employers depending upon their requirements. ALTERNATIVES TO RECRUITMENT: OVERTIME • When demand for product peaks • additional income for employee • It results in Fatigue, increased accidents & more absenteeism • Need to pay double wages EMPLOYEE LEASING • Often called Staff outsourcing • Useful to small & medium sized firms TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT • Low labour costs • Easy access to experienced labour • Flexibility in future • DISADVANTAGE- Do not know the work culture of the firm REFERENCE CHECK: • The reference of the person should be checked before making a final decision. • Check through a personal visit or a phone call directly to the applicant’s immediate
  • 29. 29 former supervision, if possible. • Verify that the information given to you is correct. • Consider, with judgment, any negative comments you hear and what is not said. • Checking references can bring to light significant information which may save you money and future inconvenience. 2.1.6 Recruitment Strategies: Findings Overview Organizations were asked what strategies they use to recruit both managerial/professional and non management candidates. For recruiting managerial/professional candidates, the Internet is the most popular advertising medium, used by 76 percent of the organizations surveyed. Organizations regularly utilize internal resources(e.g., internal job postings and employee referrals) when recruiting both internal and external candidates. Different kinds of agencies are used to recruit for positions at different levels. — Temporary and government agencies are used mainly to recruit non-management candidates. — Employment agencies, colleges, and professional organizations are used more often to recruit managerial/professional candidates. Organizational Offerings The quality of an organization’s offerings affects its ability to attract job candidates. Organizations believe they offer candidates a strong company reputation (69 percent) and high-quality benefits packages (65 percent) and learning opportunities (55 percent). Many organizations do not offer stock options (37 percent) or child care options (36 percent). Best Practices Organizations with the most effective recruiting strategies were 15 to 19 percent more likely to offer candidates high-quality options such as:
  • 30. 30 • Potential for advancement. • Company reputation. • Stocks. • Benefits package. • Corporate culture. • Salary scale. Organizations offering candidates and employees a positive culture (e.g., innovative, diverse, potential to advance) and learning environment have more satisfied employees and more successful at retaining them. Barriers to Effective Recruitment and Selection: Findings Overview r The surveyed organizations report that the top barriers to effective recruitment of candidates are: • Shortage of qualified applicants • (62 percent). • Competition for the same applicants • (62 percent). • Difficulty in finding and identifying applicants • (48 percent). 2.2 SELECTION “Selection is the process of examining the applicants with regard to their suitability for the given
  • 31. 31 job or jobs, and choosing the best candidate and rejecting the others.” Good recruitment practices are only one key to generating a pool of top job candidates. Equally important is having a strong basis from which to recruit. If an organization’s policies and practices are unattractive to candidates, the organization’s ability to generate good candidates will be limited regardless of he specific recruitment practices they employee. But what policies and practice do “good” applicants find attractive? Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question because not all “good” applicants are alike, and research shows that organization’s policies and the individual’s characteristics. Financial considerations, supply and demand, and other variables impact the recruitment process. Looking for a qualified person for the IT department is likely to require a broader and possibly more expensive search. Recruitment indicate that there is an increase in the use of the internet and interactive employment websites, such as searching web databases, placing online ads at various career sites, purchasing candidate information from resume services, sending recruitment materials, to targeted individuals, and placing ads in newspapers can all yield positive results. Selection is the process in which candidates for employment are divided in two classes-those application of these tools. Qualified applicants go on to the next hurdle, while the unqualified are eliminated”. Thus, an effective selection Programe is a non-random process because those selected have been chosen on the bases of the assumption that they are more likely to be “better” employees than those who have been rejected. SELECTION PROCESS: The organizations can make use of more than one source for carrying out the recruitment procedure. Once the recruiting sources are identified, suitable candidates are called for the
  • 32. 32 selection process. SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTION PROCESS: Definition: It is the process of differentiation between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. Selection of personnel to man the organization is a crucial, complex and continuing function. The ability of an organization to attain its goals effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends upon the effectiveness of its selection program. If right personnel is selected the remaining functions of personnel management becomes easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at an optimum level and employee- employer relations will be congenial. In an opposite situation where the right person is not selected, the remaining functions of personnel management, employee- employer relations will not be effective. If the right person is selected, he becomes a valuable asset to the organization. In case of faulty selection, the employee will become a liability to the organization. who are to be offered employment and those who are not. The process might be called rejection, since more candidates may be turned away than hired. For this reason, selection is frequently described as a negative process, in contrast with the positive program of recruitment. According to Yoder:-“the hiring process is of one or many ‘go, no-go’ gauges. Candidates are screened by the SELECTION PROCESS CHART
  • 34. 34 Retention Survey found that nationally small agencies took an average of 6.84 weeks to conduct the screening processes, while large agencies took an average of 11.51 weeks (U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Hiring and Keeping Police Officers) GOAL: reduce this time so that valuable candidates are still available PRINCIPLES OF THE SCREENING: A fair set of screening criteria The criteria must be in line with the job content and appointment as well as advertised requirements Applicants should be clear on the criteria that apply The criteria should apply to all applicants in a consistent manner Any waivers should be fully motivated and approved Declarations should be made of whether any candidate is related to or friends of an official in the component where the vacancy exists The various activities of the screening process should be documented and put on record INITIAL REVIEWING AND TESTING: Education And Experience Evaluation Letters Of Recommandation Elf-Assessment Gaptitude Andeneral Trait Test Perfomance Test For Specific Jobs 2.2.1 STEPS INVOLVED IN SELECTION PROCESS:
  • 35. 35 A scientific selection procedure completes in 10 basic steps which are as follows: 1. Application Form. 2. Written Examination. 3. Preliminary Interview. 4. Group Discussion. 5. Tests. 6. Final Interview. 7. Medical Examination. 8. Reference Checks. 9. Line Manager’s Decision, and 10. Employment TESTING IN SELECTION: Testing represents an additional tool in the kit of the employment office. It supplements direct personal contracts in interviews of various types with a wide range of tests. All operate on the general theory that human behavior can best be forecast by sampling it. The test creates a situation in which the applicant reacts; reactions are regarded as useful samples of his behavior in the work he is applying. Formal testing programs have becomes increasingly common in modern selection. A major reason is their convenience. Another is their relatively low cost. Perhaps unfortunately, test results appeal to many managers because they provide quantitative measures of something. They ate, for this reason, more easily compared. They seem to bring the personalities of applicants down to a common denominator. Another reason for the growing use of tests is the fact that they have been and are the subject of extensive research.
  • 36. 36 TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT TESTS: A simple classification of the tests used in selection would distinguish five principal types, including achievement, aptitude, interest, personality, and combination tests. Achievement Tests: sample and measure the applicant’s accomplishments and developed abilities. They are performance tests; they ask the applicant’s accomplishments and developed abilities. They are performances tests; they ask the applicant to demonstrate certain knowledge skills. APTITUDE TESTS: Measures an applicant’s capacity, his potential. Their simples form is the intelligence test, which is intended to measure the ability to learn, to remember, and to reason. INTEREST TESTS: Use selected questions or items to identify patterns of interests-areas in which the individual shoes special concern, fascination and involvement. PERSONALITY TESTS: Probe for the dominant qualities of the personality as a whole the combination of aptitudes, interests, and usual mood and temperament. Whole the combination of aptitudes, interests, and usual mood and temperament. GUIDES TO TESTING: Dale s. Beach suggested the following guidelines for the employment test. 1. Tests should be taken in addition to other selection techniques as entire can only provide information about a part of total behavior of a candidate. 2. Test information should be taken into consideration to find out candidate’s weakness rather than strength. 3. Tests are helpful in pocking a most likely successful group from a larger group rather than successful individuals. 4. A test should be tested in one’s own organization as “a valid test in one that measures.

Test administrators should not heavily depend upon test score in making decision regarding selection of a candidate. Relationship between tests score and job success is not always linear. Hence, decision-makers should use the test score judiciously. OUTCOMES OF SELECTION DECISION: • Mainly four different types • True positive • True negative • False positive error: Results in cost for training, transfer or terminating the service of employee. Costs of replacing an employee with a fresh one-hiring, training, and replacement. • False negative error: Costs associated difficult to estimate ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS • EXTERNAL Supply and demand in labour market Unemployment rate Legal and political considerations Company’s image • INTERNAL Company’s policy Cost of hiring CONCEPTS OF TESTING: 1.

Questions limited to hypothetical situations. Evaluation is based on the solution and approach of the applicant. A series of harsh, rapid fire question intended to upset the applicant. Useful for valid results, especially when dealing with large number of applicants. Useful when the interview tries to probe personal details of the candidate analyzes why they are not right for the job. A realistic approach that yields comparable answers plus in depth insights. Useful to understand applicant’s reasoning and analytical abilities under modest stress. Useful for stressful jobs, such as handling complaints.

  • 41. 41 PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW: This is a short interview and is used to eliminate unqualified candidates. Generally, there is no paper work at this stage. If the applicant looks like he can qualify for existing job openings, he or she is given the application blank to complete. APPLICATION BLANK: Application blank is used to get information from prospective applicant to help management to make a proper selection. It quickly collects the basic data about a candidate. It is also useful to store information for future use. An application forms consists of o Biographical data o Educational achievements o Salary and work experience o Personal items o Names and addresses of previous employers, references, etc. CHECK OF REFERENCES: References are used in most selection processes. During the selection process it is believed that former employers, friends and professional personnel give reliable evaluation of applicant. Reference checks are generally made by mail or telephone and sometimes personally also. PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS: Most organizations do not use psychological tests for selection. But larger the size of the firm, more are the chances of using psychological tests. Larger companies that can afford to conduct psychological tests do so to have a more detailed and accurate selection procedure. Smaller companies are more dependent on interviews.

DECISION-MAKING INTERVIEW After the candidates are examined by the experts including the line managers of the organization in the core areas of the job, the head of the department/ section concerned interviews the candidates once again, mostly through informal discussion. The interviewer examines the interest of the candidate in the job, organization, reaction/adaptability to the working conditions, career planning, promotional opportunities, work adjustment and allotment etc. the personnel Manager also interviews the candidates with a view to find out his reaction/acceptance regarding salary, allowances, benefits, promotions, opportunities etc. The head of the department and the personnel manager exchange the views and then they jointly inform their decision to the chairman of the interview board, who finally makes the decision about the candidate’s performance and their ranks in the interview.
  • 44. 44 INTERVIEW PROCESS: Interview is not a single step. It is a process consisting of several steps. The major steps are grouped into four categories. Before starting the interview, the important areas for asking questions should be worked out. The candidate’s application form should be examined to find his/her skills, incidents and experiences which are related to important areas for asking questions. The interviewer should make the candidate relaxed by starting with questions that are not directly related with the job. After the candidate is relaxed, the interviewer should ask the questions related to the job. Now the interviewer should make a tentative decision about the candidate. Approval by the Supervisor: At this stage, we can reach the conclusion about which candidate should be hired. Physical Examination: Physical examination is done to check whether the applicant’s physical capabilities match with the job requirements or not. The three basic objectives of physical examination are: o To determine the applicant’s physical capabilities. o To protect the company from needless claims under workers’ compensation laws. o To stop communicable diseases from entering the organization.

At Manasi Information Technologies we are striving to understand changing customer needs, and enrich their quality of life by simply making the technology readily usable for them. Software Industry consists of that part of computer programming activity that is traded between software-producing organizations and corporate or individual software consumers. Traded software represents only a fraction of domestic software activity, whose extent cannot be reliably estimated, since much computer programming takes place within firms and its value Sis not captured by the industrial census or software industry analysts. According to the industry analyst INPUT, in 2010 the U.S. market for traded software was $138 billion (Table 1). The U.S. software industry is a major exporter, and the total revenues of the top 500 U.S. software firms in the year 2010 were $259 billion, according to the trade publication Software Magazine. The traded software industry consists of three main sectors: programming services, enterprise software products, and shrink-wrapped software products. These three sectors became established in the mid-1950s, the mid-1960s, and the late 1970s, respectively, in response to the technological opportunities and the business environment of the time. The most successful firms developed specialized capabilities that enabled them to prosper within their sector; however, this specialization made it difficult to move into other sectors, and very few firms have been successful in more than one software sector. It should be noted that the software industry is not confined to independent software vendors, but also includes computer manufacturers such as IBM, Unisys, and NCR who supply programming services and software products alongside their hardware offerings and are among the largest software suppliers. These are sometimes referred to as "captive" markets because computer users have relatively little choice in the supplier of basic operating software for corporate systems.

Programming Services Software Products TOTAL The United States has been the world leader in the software industry throughout its history, and today accounts for half of global revenues overall, and an estimated three-quarters of the software products market. A notable feature of the industry is its low concentration: there are many thousands of software firms in the United States and throughout the world, but relatively few mostly American global players. 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 744 1,352 2,985 6,233 10,402 15,319 33,400 250 810 2,726 13,286 34,066 58,311 104,689 994 2,162 5,711 19,519 44,468 73,630 138,089
  • 51. 51 SECTORS OF THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY 1. PROGRAMMING SERVICES: SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING SERVICES: Dynamic Ventures provides software programming services. It creates user friendly solutions to very complex problems. Company includes the work in their core product offerings. The teams are responsible for the development of major commercial software products and web applications. They deliver more reliable applications in shorter time frames using the iterative "evolving milestone" process. It enables one to achieve best case results even when they do not have specifications or their specifications start out vague and change often. CURRENT CONDITIONS: According to Software Magazine in January 2011, "The trend of engaging outside service firms to perform critical IT functions continues." This statement was borne out by the specialties reported by firms in the journal's list of top 500 computer software and services companies of 2010. The largest primary business sector--for the third year in a row--was system integration services and IT consulting. Outsourcing services was the second largest, followed by IT services/consulting/staffing and outsourced product development/testing. Of companies with more than $1 billion in revenues, Salesforce.com increased its sales by 44 percent. According to Software Magazine, "The Company "insists on continuing its 'no software' marketing positioning even though [it] sells access to its software through the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model." Hewlett-Packard also showed strong growth, increasing its revenues by more than 50 percent, due mostly to its acquisition of former rival Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008. Those providing computer programming and related services were required to keep up with constantly changing technology. For example, according to a report by IBIS World, in the 2010s, "Newer platforms and technologies, such as software as a service, open source software, and cloud computing, will penetrate the industry and change the landscape." In the meantime, services in wireless and mobile applications were strong growth areas as the nation entered the second decade of the twenty-first century. According to research firm Gartner, the mobile applications industry was predicted to almost triple in 2011 to $15.1 billion. INDUSTRY LEADERS: Custom programming services are furnished by a diverse group of companies, including several multinational firms that provide a comprehensive set of IT services to large businesses and government agencies. One of the largest was IBM Corp. By 2010 IBM's services unit accounted for more half of its revenues, which in 2010 were just under $100 billion. Hewlett-Packard was another leader. The firm doubled its size when it purchased Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008, and revenues in 2010 reached $125 billion. Oracle and Computer Sciences Corp. were other significant players, registering 2010 sales of $26.8 billion and $16.1 billion, respectively, as was Accenture, whose annual revenues surpassed $23 billion. Smaller companies that provided programming services included Analysts International Corp., CIBER (Consultants in Business, Engineering, and Research) Inc., and Keane International Inc., which was acquired by NTT Data in 2011. 2. ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS: Enterprise software describes a collection of computer programs with common business applications, tools for modeling how the entire
  • 52. 52 organization works, and development tools for building applications unique to the organization. The software is intended to solve an enterprise-wide problem, rather than a departmental problem. Enterprise level software aims to improve the enterprise's productivity and efficiency by providing business logic support functionality. According to Martin Fowler, "Enterprise applications are about the display, manipulation, and storage of large amounts of often complex data and the support or automation of business processes with that data."Although there is no single, widely accepted list of enterprise software characteristics, they generally include performance, scalability, and robustness. Furthermore, enterprise software typically has interfaces to other enterprise software (for example LDAP to directory services) and is centrally managed (a single admin page, for example). ENTERPRISE APPLICATION SOFTWARE: Enterprise application software is application software that performs business functions such as order processing, procurement, production scheduling, customer information management, energy management, and accounting. It is typically hosted on servers and provides simultaneous services to a large number of users, typically over a computer network. This is in contrast to a single-user application that is executed on a user's personal computer and serves only one user at a time. a. TYPES: • Enterprise software can be designed and implemented by an information technology (IT) group within a company. • It may also be purchased from an independent enterprise software developer that often installs and maintains the software for their customers. Installation, customization, and maintenance can also be outsourced to an IT consulting company. • Another model is based on a concept called on-demand software, or Software as a Service (SaaS). The on-demand model of enterprise software is made possible through the widespread distribution of broadband access to the Internet. Software as Service vendors maintains enterprise software on servers within their own company data center and then provides access to the software to their enterprise customers via the Internet. Enterprise software is often categorized by the business function that it automates - such as accounting software or sales force automation software. Similarly for industries - for example, there are enterprise systems devised for the health care industry, or for manufacturing enterprises. b. DEVELOPERS:Major organizations in the enterprise software field include SAP, IFS AB, QAD Inc, IBM, BMC Software, HP Software Division, Redwood Software, UC4 Software, JBoss (Red Hat), Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Oracle Corporation, Inquest Technologies, ScheduALL, CA Technologies, Wipro Technologies, [Johnson Controls], and ASG Software Solutions but there are thousands of competing vendors.
  • 53. 53 VALUATION UPDATE FOR THE ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY: Transaction volumes in the enterprise software sector increased when compared to the prior month but decreased against the level of activity reported in March 2010. According to Capital IQ, there were 55 deals announced in the enterprise software sector in March 2011 compared to 37 in the prior month and 63 in March 2010. Despite the moderate level of acquisition activity in March, well-capitalized firms remain interested in strategic expansion. 3. SHRINK-WRAPPED SOFTWARE: The invention in 1971 of the inexpensive microprocessor a computer on a single microchip transformed the computer, creating a consumer product from what had previously been a costly capital good. Microprocessors were used in both videogame consoles and personal computers, and a "shrink-wrapped" or "boxed" software industry developed in the 1970s to satisfy the demand for programs for the new computer products. Shrink-wrapped software products were distinguished from enterprise software goods by low prices, high sales volume, and different distribution channels. Consumer software typically sold in tens or hundreds of thousands of units, at a price of a few hundred dollars, at most. Shrink-wrapped software was sold through retail outlets and mail order, with little or no after-sales service, compared with the direct sales forces and account managers employed by enterprise software vendors. One of the first firms to catch the wave of personal computing was Microsoft, founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Microsoft specialized in the basic operating software for what were then still known as micro-computers, and which mainly sold to hobbyists. Mass-market personal computers, such as the Apple II and the Tandy TRS-80, arrived in 1977– 1978. Within a couple of years two software applications, the word processor and the spreadsheet, made the personal computer generally useful. The word processor concept had existed in the corporate computer world, and many entrepreneurs simultaneously hit on the idea of creating a product for the personal computer market. However, one product, WordStar (produced by a San Rafael-based start-up, MicroPro International), secured a commanding share of the market. By contrast, the first personal computer spreadsheet, VisiCalc, produced by Software Arts of Cambridge, Massachusetts, had no clear precedent in mainframe computing, and it took the world by storm, initially having the market entirely to itself, although within a couple of years it was imitated by dozens of "clones."
  • 54. 54 BMR: BMR is a professional service organization offering a range of Tax, Risk and M&A advisory for businesses of all sizes, at the local, national and international levels. BMR was found on October 1, 2004, and within a short span of time, has won the confidence of numerous Fortune 500 clients and is the partner of choice for their advisory services. BMR COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS: The decision of the KHC (KARNATAKA HIGH COURT) on software purchases has gone into the crux of the issue which has seen a divergence of views on characterization of income, not only in Indian jurisprudence, but world over. The foundation of this ruling lies in the interpretation of the provisions of the ICA and the KHC. The KHC has not concurred with the view of the Delhi High Court in the case of Dynamic Vertical Private Limited, in which it was held that payments for shrink wrap software do not constitute royalty, since the ruling was rendered in the context of section 40a(I) of the Act. However, the KHC has not appreciated that the substantial issue was still the same. Internationally, the taxability of software payments as royalty has been a widely debated subject. The 2010 update of the OECD model tax convention on income and on capital recognizes that copying the software program onto the computer’s hard drive or random access memory or making an archival copy is an essential step in utilizing the program and therefore, rights in relation to these acts of copying, where they do no more than enable the effective operation of the program by the user, should be disregarded in analyzing the character of the transaction for tax purposes. However, India has reserved its position on this interpretation and has indicated that some of the software payments may constitute royalty. At a very practical level, companies would now need to worry about an enhanced zeal of the Revenue Authorities in seeking to review such payments, both for the present and prior years. The KHC’s ruling would impact companies in many ways: • Issue of notices for present and past payments for software procurements Distributors and end consumers alike would need to strategies procurements and tax withholding strategies • There could be a huge tax and interest impact on corporate tax disallowances, owing to non withholding of taxes • Increased cost of business, owing to the fact that most overseas vendors are passing on the cost to the Indian consumers • Domestic software procurements could also soon come under far greater review, considering that the definition of royalties draws reference to the same provisions under the Act Clearly, the last has not been said on the subject and times ahead would be interesting as well as challenging, and the outcome of the appeals to be filed before the Supreme Court will be keenly awaited.
  • 55. 55 INDIAN IT INDUSTRY: INDIAN IT INDUSTRY – PRESENT STATUS: Information technology (IT) is defined as the design, development, implementation and management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. Today, it has grown to cover most aspects of computing and technology. India is a preferred destination for companies looking to offshore their IT and back-office functions. It also retains its low-cost advantage and is a financially attractive location when viewed in combination with the business environment it offers and the availability of skilled people. The country’s domestic market for business process outsourcing (BPO) is projected to grow over 23 per cent to touch US$ 1.4 billion in 2011, says global research group Gartner. In 2010, the domestic BPO market was worth US$ 1.1 billion. The firm predicts that the domestic BPO market would reach US$ 1.69 billion in 2012 and increase to US$ 2.47 billion by 2014. With the first quarter of the new fiscal 2011-12 offering positive business outlook, hiring sentiments for sectors like IT, ITeS and telecom have risen by over 20 per cent, says a study by Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd. As per the Employment Outlook Report for the period April-June 2011, released by Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd., hiring intent from IT and ITeS was the highest in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune. India's top technology firms like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL are readying plans to gain a bigger share of their largest market, US, by aggressively chasing contracts being served by multinational rivals. Analysts expect the top IT firms to grow between 23-27 per cent in the FY2012 on the back of more number of discretionary projects, improved pricing, and robust business volumes. PERFORMANCE: In India, it is important to make the distinction between IT and ITES (IT enabled services). The latter refers to services delivered over telecom networks/ Internet to a range of external business areas (Colloquially referred to as KPO and BPO) and is treated elsewhere on this website (see ITES industry overview). Hence, we shall focus on the IT industry here by limiting the discussion to electronics hardware manufacturing and software development and service. Despite the unprecedented global economic downturn, the Indian IT industry has weathered the storm well, and will achieve sustainable growth going forward. India is expected to witness an average 8% salary increase in 2010 and ~50% of companies have strong hiring plans, according to a survey by global HR consultancy Mercer, giving yet another indication of the high confidence levels among the country’s corporate houses after the economy staged a faster-than-expected recovery from the slowdown. While the larger players continue to lead growth, gradually increasing their share in the industry aggregate, several high-performing small and medium enterprises have also stood out.
  • 56. 56 GROWTH POTENTIAL: The strong demand for electronic hardware and software in India has been fuelled by a variety of drivers including the high growth rate of the economy, emergence of a vast domestic market catering to the new generation of young consumers, a thriving middleclass populace with increasing disposable incomes and a relatively low-cost work force having advanced technical skills. Indeed, the Government has also identified growth of this sector as a thrust area as there remains great expectation for significant growth given the fairly low levels of penetration of technology among the 1.1 billion population; There were only 60 million Internet users in 2009, 7 million DVD players and personal computers were sold in 2008-09, and 11 million new mobile subscribers were added every month in the same period. In this scenario there is now a big opportunity to step up the production to gain higher global share besides meeting the domestic demands. The Indian IT sector has also built a strong reputation for its high standards of software development ability, service quality and information security in the foreign market- which has been acknowledged globally and has helped enhance buyer confidence. The industry continues its drive to set global benchmarks in quality and information security through a combination of provider and industry-level initiatives and strengthening the overall frameworks, creating greater awareness and facilitating wider adoption of standards and best practices. FUTURE PROSPECTS: The industry is likely to continue growing from strength to strength, as local players incorporate best in class practices from global counterparts whilst retaining their edge in terms of lower cost of labor and focused governmental investments. New graduates with degrees in related fields such as electrical engineering and computer science can hope to achieve significant professional growth and a healthy remuneration from companies looking to hire the best talent available, given the high proportion who leave to pursue jobs in this sector overseas.. Indian Software Industry: In 2008-09, the software industry in India was worth Rs. 158.9 billion (US$ 3.9 billion). If the value of in-house development, which is taking place at many large corporate, is added then the figure would touch around Rs. 190 billion (US$ 4.6 billion). This phenomenal growth has not been achieved overnight. The C.A.G.R (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) for the Indian software industry revenues in the last five years has been 56.3 percent. Here the C.A.G.R. for the software export industry has been 60.71 percent while that for the domestic market has been 46.05 percent.
  • 57. 57 Domestic Software Market: In 2008-09, the domestic software market has been estimated at Rs. 49.5 billion (US$ 1.25 billion) and this does not include the in-house development of software by end users. The domestic software market has shown a C.A.G.R. of 46.05 percent which has been steadily improving in the last few year. The growth rate of the domestic software market was 41.02 percent 2008-09. The domestic software market is expected to gross Rs. 73 billion in 2011-2021. With the rigorous enforcement of Copyright laws, increase in government spending on I.T. it is expected that in the coming years, the domestic market for software can even register more than 50 percent annual growth rates. Also, the government has implemented zero import duty on software. This is already having buoyant effect on the market and there is a increasing trend of buying software through the Internet. It is expected that by 2018 revenues of Indian domestic software market would touch US $ 37 billion. In the next few years, the prominent growth in the domestic software market is expected to get boost by segments such as banking, E-governance, defense, etc. Software Export Industry: The Indian software export industry continues to show impressive growth rates. In terms of Indian rupees, the C.A.G.R. over the past five years has been as high as 60.71 percent. The industry exported software and services worth Rs. 0.30 billion (U.S.$ 0.03 billion) in 1985; in 2008-09, a total export of Rs. 109 billion (U.S.$ 2.65 billion) was achieved and it is expected that during 1999-2000, software exports will be worth Rs. 172 billion (U.S.$ 3.9 billion). The software industry in India expects to reach an export level of U.S.$ 6.3 billion by 2000-01 and U.S.$ 10 billion by 2013-14. The National IT Task Force of India has set a target of U.S $ 50 billion of annual I.T. software and services exports by 2018. For achieving this velocity of business, both the software industry and the Government of India are currently taking some bold and purposeful steps. Amongst others, this exercise includes path-breaking measures adopted by the National IT Task Force to further liberate the economy, simplification of procedures, and development of additional resources for technical manpower development, new marketing channels, enhancing global brand equity and providing state-of-the-art infrastructure for software development. The thrust on I.T. services like E-commerce, Software Development, Interactive Integration services, Application Service Providers (ASP’s). Location of Software Companies: The mushrooming of new software companies until a couple of years ago was limited to a few cities. The industry was mainly concentrated around Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad and Calcutta. However, with the InfoTech revolution sweeping India, we have witnessed a very high growth of InfoTech companies in other cities and towns as well. Most of the state governments have today accorded the highest priority to the development of the InfoTech sector in their states.
  • 58. 58 SWOT ANALYSIS: 1. STRENGTHS High Quality & Price Performance: Quality is the hallmark of Indian I.T. software and, services. ISO 9000 certification and SEI Level 5 are the order of the day. High quality knowledge workers and attractive price performance have been and will continue to be a key component of India's value proposition. Large Pool of Knowledge Workers: The basic raw material for any software development activity or a dotcom start up is the availability of quality knowledge workers. India's main competitive advantage is its abundant, high-quality and cost effective human resources. Currently, India trains more than 73,000 professionals a year and has around 80,000 people working in the software and services sector. This is the second largest I.T. work force in the world. Recently, the Government of India has committed to providing computer education in every school by year 2003. State-of-the-art Technologies: A majority of Indian software companies use state-of-the-art technologies, including the latest in client-networking, E-commerce, Internet, ASP, CASE tools, communication software, ATM, protocols, GUI etc. Flexibility and Adaptability: Indian software professionals easily adapt themselves to new technologies. In the software industry, where technological obsolescence is the order of the day, flexibility to adapt to new technologies a major strength Reliability: Software programmers from India are able to provide expertise for all or large projects with dollar savings. The motto is ultimate adherence delivery schedules and customer satisfaction Off-shore Development through Datacom links: Off-shore software development in India especially through high-speed datacom (satellite links), provides immense cost and time saving. Large Projects: Indian companies increasingly large numbers are demonstrating their ability to handle large projects (more than 500-700 man- ears), including turnkey projects. High Growth: Software exports as well as the domestic demand in the last few years have been consistently growing at annual growth rate of about 50 percent.
  • 59. 59 Engineering Base: A strong base of national institutes, engineering college and universities has laid a strong foundation of education in engineering skills amongst Indian software professionals. The IIT’s (Indian Institute of Information Technology) in various cities are the new institutions to join the bandwagon. Mathematical and Logic Expertise: India’s success in providing efficient software solutions can be also attributed to the mathematical and logical ability Indian’s. High Aspirations: The Indian IT software and services industry has set itself higher aspirations and goals. The recent aspiration is to reach annual revenues of U.S. $ 87 billion by 2008 (from a level of U.S. $3.9 billion during 1998 99), achieve 100 percent literacy, more, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Indians in Silicon Valley: As per a recent survey, 23 of the Fortune 500 Company CEOs are of Indian origin. It has been reported that a business plan of a dotcom company in Silicon valley, U.S.A. receives higher priority if an Indian name associated with it. The successful India in Silicon Valley has organize themselves under the Indus Entrepreneurs Group (TiE). Government Encouragement: Since 1999 the Government of India has accorded thrust area status to the software sector. The Government has amended the Copyright Law to make it one of the toughest in the world; eliminated import duty on computer software; exempted profits derived from software exports from Income Tax etc. The Government of India has also set up innovative scheme like Software Technology Parks, etc., for promoting software exports. Infrastructure: A growing number of State Governments and cities are building hi-tech buildings and habitats to accommodate the ever increasing numbers of software companies and enterprises. These are in the form of intelligent habitats and buildings and include infrastructural support like high- class value-added data communication services, captive power, recreational facilities, etc. They incorporate state-of- art facilities viz. plug-and-play features. This is assisting companies to quickly set up their software operations in India. Global Research & Development: More and more multinationals are setting up their global R&D units in India, recognizing the immense power of local talent.
  • 60. 60 2.WEAKNESSES Lack of Package Orientation: Although, a few companies have started making shrink-wrapped software packages, the industry as a whole is still not oriented towards development of world class 'shrink-wrapped' software packages. Thus, the industry is not able to take advantage of a multiplier effect for growth in revenues. Lack of Domestic Computerization: Lack of adequate computerization has led to a relatively weak domestic software market. Even, the PC penetration rate is very low. Lack of Internet Penetration: With low penetration of PC’s, it is obvious that Internet penetration is also poor. At the end of the year 1999, India could only boast of 6,10,000 Internet connections with about 2.1 million users. The recently announced Internet Service Provider policy is expected to improve the situation. Original Technology: The Indian software industry possesses the expertise to absorb and use the latest technology. However, barring a few exceptions, it has still not produced enough original technology breakthroughs. Succinctly put, the industry has not created original operating systems or new computer languages and technologies, which could be used globally . Project Management Skills: As the Indian software industry has been growing at a fast rate, most of the project managers are becoming entrepreneurs, thus creating a gap in demand and supply of project management skills. Venture Capital: In building a robust venture creation process, India still faces few constraints. To build a prolific venture community, India needs to focus on boosting all stages of venture creation process and have simplified procedures so that the domestic Venture Capital movement can flourish and overseas Venture Capital funds can be attracted. Localization: With the exception of isolated cases, not much exists in providing software applications in innumerable local languages. Thus, computer penetration in India is restricted to merely the English speaking population.
  • 61. 61 3.OPPORTUNITIES Global Market: The market is large and rapidly changing-from a mix of legacy client server to web / package-based services. Market openings are emerging across I.T. services, software products, I.T. enabled services and E-businesses, and creating a number of new opportunities for Indian companies. Domestic Demand: The corporate, government and consumer sector of the Indian domestic market offers a U.S.$ 18 billion opportunity by 2008 to software and services companies. Outsourcing: The global outsourcing business was worth U.S.$ 77 billion in 1997 and has been growing at the rate of 15-18 percent per annum. A recent survey indicates that by 2002, more than 59 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies and other multinationals will outsource some part of their application development and maintenance activities. India can gain and corner a greater marketplace. E-Commerce/E-Business: India not only has a huge opportunity to service this market but also has a unique opportunity to address the needs of the NRI community around the world. Overseas Listings: India today commands a very high respect among investors in India and overseas. Almost all major overseas stock exchanges -are keen for Indian software companies to list themselves on their respective exchanges. This is a major opportunity for the Indian software industry to attract the requisite investments. Internet Service Provider (ISP) Policy: The recent permission to allow private ISP's operate in India and set up their own gateways will unprecedented Internet proliferation throughout India.
  • 62. 62 4.THREATS Government Interference: In the past decade, the Government and industry have worked very well together in India for the success of the I.T. software and services industry. Now the Government's role needs to be increasingly directed towards providing suitable infrastructure and continuing its role in the simplification of policies. Any further plans for Government control, restrictions or undue interference could well pose a threat to the industry. Telecom Infrastructure: The immediate need of the hour in India is to have a world class telecom infrastructure at globally competitive tariffs. The Department of Telecommunications has taken a number of initiatives including the National Telecommunication Backbone, National Internet Backbone, and plans for providing high bandwidth Internet connectivity to remote corners of India. However, Government monopoly, lack of speed and adherence to archaic telecommunication rules and regulations can prove to be a threat to the industry. Lack of Speed: The world is moving at the speed of Internet. The decision- making and time taken for implementation in India needs to be at a much faster pace so that the Indian I.T. software and services industry does not lose any opportunities. Infrastructure: Although, the software industry is growing at a phenomenal rate, many other sectors in India have not yet been able to keep pace with it. Lately, almost all major cities are building hi-tech buildings to house the software industry. These buildings have state-of-art infrastructure, data communication facilities, captive power etc. But, lack of power, highways, housing and international airports is some cities has become a major constraint. Cost: Rising cost of infrastructure, basic amenities and salaries can pose a threat if not adequately balanced with value addition. Protectionism by Export Destinations: Many countries in North America and Western Europe are creating protective and non-tariff trade barriers, especially with regard to the movement of skilled manpower. Visa issues and non-tariff trade barrier may prove to be a threat. India should insist for removal of non-trade tariff barriers at WTO.
