AbstractMulti-unit firms have productivity advantages over competitors because of their use of a non-rival asset—firm-specific knowledge—in several units. Using knowledge-intensive services leads to economies of scope in production by multi-unit firms. Such headquarter are usually supplied by parent companies and serve to link different firm units. Headquarter services are difficult to quantify in statistics or surveys, except when they cross-borders and the exchange of services between MNEs and their offshore subsidiaries becomes apparent. This study therefore focuses on IT service imports to explain productivity differences among foreign affiliates of multinational firms in Germany. The authors base the analysis on the population of foreign multinational firms active in Germany and analyze what effect the import of IT services has on their productivity. They find that IT headquarter service flows have significant impacts on foreign affiliates’ productivity in general and US affiliates in particular. As the average IT-service flows (per firm and partner) from parent countries are significantly higher for US affiliates than non-US affiliates, they conclude that the import of IT services from the parent-company is a source of the productivity advantages of US affiliates in Germany.

Management Literature

Information technology (IT) service management is considered a collection of frameworks that support organizations managing services. The implementation of these kinds of frameworks is constantly increasing in the IT service provider domain. The main objective is to define and manage IT services through its life cycle. However, from observing the literature, scarcely any research exists describing the main concepts of ITSM. Many organizations still struggle in several contexts in this domain, mainly during implementation. This research aims to develop a reference study detailing the main concepts related with ITSM. Thus, a systematic literature review is performed. In total, 47 articles were selected from top journals and conferences. The benefits, challenges, opportunities, and practices for ITSM implementation were extracted, critically analysed, and then discussed.

Non Linear

The Indian IT/ITeS industry is a significant contributor to India’s GDP and has had an impressive growth trajectory. However, it continues to be plagued with talent shortages, managing employee satisfaction, growth aspirations and reducing attrition. COVID-19 has presented an unprecedented opportunity for IT service organisations to transform the established paradigm of working. The industry has been exploring non-linear growth models that address the talent demand-supply gap. With skilled talent shortage continuing to limit the industry growth, non-linear initiatives of growth are urgently required. We propose a model of ‘Internal Gig’ worker (I-GIG) for the IT services industry. The new I-GIG workforce would be providing non-linear outcomes without increasing costs significantly. We also argue that this model would be motivational for employees who opt for it, with commensurate reward motivations to engage them. Additionally, this model would enable the workanywhere, anytime and leverage talent availability on a global scale.

Significant Milestone

This case study documents the challenges faced by Iota Consultancy Services, an IT Service organization, as it simultaneously developed and deployed an IT Services Management software product for one of its premier clients, The Clementon Company. A leading market research firm, The Clementon Company had its footprints across the globe. Its recent acquisition of several smaller research agencies had created a complex IT landscape, in terms of the technologies adopted and the processes followed. In Iota Consultancy Services’ 10-year-old history, this engagement with The Clementon Company was a significant milestone, consisting of two parts—(1) Streamlining and standardizing The Clementon Company’s IT processes and (2) maintaining The Clementon Company’s organization-wide IT infrastructure. Iota Consultancy Services began this crucial assignment with an initial study to identify a product for the The Clementon Company’s IT department. Iota Consultancy Services, a rapidly growing player in the sector, had indigenously developed a few IT products, as well. It had an IT Services Management product called Helpdesk Management. Being the sole service provider for maintaining The Clementon Company’s entire IT infrastructure, Iota Consultancy Services felt that Helpdesk Management could be deployed as a single tool across the organization. However, until now, Helpdesk Management had never been deployed as a comprehensive IT Services Management product for any organization. This meant that Iota Consultancy Services needed to simultaneously enhance its Helpdesk Management tool by developing new features, and also deploy it for The Clementon Company. This was Iota Consultancy Services’ chance to earn a reputation as a successful product company, which would result in increased revenue. However, if things did not go well, Iota Consultancy Services could lose face forever. Iota Consultancy Services’ dilemma was whether it should propose Helpdesk Management as a tool for The Clementon Company, or not. At this juncture, everything depended on whether Iota Consultancy Services could successfully customize the Helpdesk Management tool to suit The Clementon Company’s requirements.
