An Empirical Study in Project management framework

with New Strategic approach for Indian IT Industry

Introduction:
IT project management is complicated by the shifting business needs and demanding
stakeholders of traditional organizations. In the modern workplace, it is imperative that
technology works both effectively and reliably. People tend to use the term Information
Technology or IT to refer to an entire industry. More precisely, Information Technology (IT)
is the use of computers and software to manage information. Different companies refer to this
corporate function as Management Information Services or simply as Information Services.
The main growth catalyst for the IT industry is expected to be the evolution of technology
and the business effort to absorb and integrate this technology to enhance productivity and
expand market opportunities. Today, spending on these IT technologies is growing at about
18% per year and is expected to account for at least 80% of IT spending growth between now
and 2020.

Research Methodology
The literature reviewed earlier identifies outsourcing i.e., IT as a new form of work
organization. It has been found that outsourcing has become a critical agenda for many
multinationals in this era of globalization. The development and widespread availability of
internet and telecommunication brought about drastic changes to the way business is
conducted. Today, most major organizations are opting to outsource both functions and
processes to improve their business efficiency and reduce the cost. At present, the companies
can produce their products or extend their services from anywhere using resources from
anywhere. Factors like lower costs, improved productivity, higher quality, higher customer
satisfaction, time to market, and ability to focus on core areas are some of the benefits of
outsourcing.
The study of IT management practices in various industry segments is not new to academia,
however the present day socio-economic factors and role of IT management in building and
retaining the competitive advantage of the organization in the ITs industry brings the
understanding and identification of these processes and practices to the forefront. The present
study was a systematic exploratory study of the human resource practices in the IT industry in
India. It explored the various processes and practices followed in the Indian IT organizations.
While the findings from this research maybe of significance for the Indian IT organizations
and the researcher, any singular study provides but one step along the evolutionary path of
theory and practice in a given field. Given below are some suggestions for future research.
