90% firms lack culture, structure to unlock digital growth: Infosys report

A mere 7 per cent of companies have the right combination of culture and operating structure to spur growth from digital technologies, according to a new research from the Infosys Knowledge Institute. The report -- based on a survey of 2,700 business executives across the US, UK, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, China, and India -- found that companies that make decisions based on high quality, transparent data and build a culture of responsible risk-taking are more likely to deliver profitable growth in tough macro-economic conditions. Moreover, organising around products, not process, gets new products to market faster, increasing early-mover advantage. The report by Infosys Knowledge Institute (the thought leadership arm of Infosys) found that nine out of ten companies lack the culture and organisational structure to unlock digital growth.

Indian IT services industry's growth might drop in near to mid-term: Icra

The growth momentum of Indian IT services industry is likely to slow down in the near to mid term as macroeconomic headwinds trigger lower discretionary IT spends, ICRA said on Monday. Ratings agency ICRA sees lower hiring by the IT service companies in the near term given that excess capacities were added in FY2022 and expects moderation in demand compared to previous fiscals amid macroeconomic headwinds. Indian IT services companies have witnessed a moderation in growth in the last two quarters in constant currency terms owing to the base effect and evolving macroeconomic headwinds in key markets of the US and Europe. Due to these headwinds, the decision-making towards discretionary IT spending has seen a slight deferment, while the cost optimisation deals continue to generate stable demand, it noted. "Growth momentum for the Indian IT services industry likely to slow down in the near to medium term," ICRA said in a statement. The slowdown is on account of evolving macroeconomic
