SUMMARY
Infosys is one of the fastest growing and most admired companies in India, yet it earns98.1% of its revenues outside of India.1 the Company has relied on overseas business since it started in 1981 with seven engineers and Rs. 10,000. Infosys faced significant barriers because it operated in a bureaucratic country that was closed to outside investment. In addition, entrepreneurship was unheard of in India where most companies were large, family-owned conglomerates. Despite these challenges, Infosys saw an opportunity to offer low-cost technology services and was able to exploit value chain shifts in foreign markets while capitalizing on the shifts in government regulations at home. It became the first Indian company listed on the NASDAQ in 1999 and today has over 1, 41,822 employees and now having worth of Rs 34,517 crore with in a time duration of 30 yrs. Infosys was able to capitalize on industry trends and on the changing regulatory environment to become one of the most successful companies in India. It was not clear when the Indian government would begin making laws that favored businesses, but Infosys was prepared when the time finally came. Infosys was not able to perfectly predict the explosion in outsourcing technology, but it was ready to take advantage of the opportunity when it came. Infosys success is not only a function of change in the political sphere and technology industry, though. The company worked hard to develop an organization that adhered to high standards of quality, that put its customers first, and that provided an excellent work
environment for its employees. According to one of its founders, Each time we encountered a fundamental challenge, we viewed it as an opportunity to transform the company. We know that the future will pose new challenges. We dont know which capabilities we might need. But, we are confident that we will be able to develop these capabilities and meet these challenges.
INTRODUCTION
Infosys was founded on 2 July 1981with the capital of Rs. 10,000/ only by seven entrepreneurs: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) N. R. Narayan Murthy Nandan Nilekani Kris Gopalakrishnan S. D. Shibulal K. Dinesh Ashok Arora N. S. Raghavan officially being the first employee of the company
Infosys Limited, formerly known as Infosys Technologies Limited. Infosys is a global technology Services Company headquartered in Bangalore. It is the second largest IT exporter in India with 1, 41,822 employees as of September 2011
The chances of success were very low for this company that was started by a small group of entrepreneurs with no connections to government officials and very little money in socialist India. Yet these entrepreneurs were confident that they could survive in the hostile environment and were determined to create a company that would compete with the best US and European companies. In order to compete with the best, the founders of Infosys realized that they would need to differentiate their company from other Indian companies. Infosys voluntarily adopted stringent accounting principles such as the US GAAP while most Indian companies used opaque accounting practices.3 (Starting in 2003, Infosys reported financial performance in compliance with accounting principles in 8 countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, UK, US, and India.4) It distributed ownership of the company among its employees while most Indian companies were controlled by a few powerful families. In addition, it gave employees benefit such as stock option plans, a health club

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational structure is the formal arrangements of jobs within an organization
A structure depends entirely on the organization's objectives and the strategy chosen to achieve them. In a centralized structure, the decision making power is concentrated in the top layer of the management and tight control is exercised over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure, the decision making power is distributed and the departments and divisions have varying degrees of autonomy. An organizational chart illustrates the organizational structure.
Why Have a Structure All businesses have to organise what they do A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does what There are many ways to structure a business INFOSYS IN BEGINNING Infosys was a start-up founded by 7 individuals. Early days were a constant struggle Dynamic Environment. Companies focus was on delivering a single product based on single technology in a single marketplace. Low degree of Formalization, low complexity and high centralization
Started catering to different market segments and different clients. Company had to adhere to a new set of guidelines and streamline process due to the IPO in 1992. The company structure was split up into functional units. Project Matrix Structure was employed within the production unit. Characterized by increasing complexity, moderate formalization and moderate degree of centralization.
2003 ONWARD..
O Company had become too big to carry on without modifying the existing structure. O Concept of decentralization was brought in. O Company divided into IBUs. Each IBU concentrated on a particular sector. O Made the company more customers focused. A Gamma B transformation. O Managers of each IBU were empowered to take decisions to further the IBUs prospects. O Role Enlargement and Role Specialization. O Decentralized system with an ability to take quick. O Crucial as a result of the dynamic world order after the Sept 11 attacks and Asian financial crisis. O Within each IBU the project matrix structure was carried forward. O In 2007, the IBU concept was further refined to take into account geographic growth opportunities. O The 2007 reorganization was also for role enlargement of the second line of business leaders.
