If everyone shared a common vision and worked towards it - good? Well, what if everyone had a different approach towards this same vision - better? What if your actions and directions led the path for this dream?

A good manager is one who is a life-long student. And the marketplace is the greatest teacher. It is this belief that brought together the Academia represented by the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), Delhi and the Industry represented by Birlasoft, Noida, in such a symbiotic relationship. Another reason for this much needed synergy that has brought Birlasoft and IIFT to envisage this paper writing contest is the effort to merge boardroom experience and classroom learning. Welcome to the first Birlasoft-IIFT Paper Writing Contest. An opportunity to share your vision. A platform for you to showcase your approach. A chance for you to drive the driving force of the Indian economy - the IT industry.

This translates into unique business opportunities for the concerned players, namely developing countries like India, and other south-east Asian countries, which have emerged as leading offshore service providers for many companies. These companies also face a challenge as to how to use the new global IT scenario to their advantage, right from choosing the provider to choosing the processes to be outsourced. Effectiveness of the strategy in this regard will determine who the giants of tomorrow are.
