Abstract:
|
The case presents the knowledge management (KM) practices of
Infosys Technologies, one of the leading software companies based in India.
Infosys was inducted into the Global Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE)
Hall of Fame in the year 2005 due to its innovative KM initiatives.
Since its inception, Infosys gave importance to learning in the organization.
Its efforts to assimilate and distribute knowledge within the company began with
the establishment of Education and Research Department in the year 1991. The
department began gathering content and knowledge that was available within the
organization and the scope of the department grew with the launch of intranet.
