Abstract
When Prem Seshadri was appointed executive vice chairman and MD of HCLI, the Indian IT conglomerate was bleeding in losses. Developing competitiveness and a DNA of evolution was imperative. This case details a two-year journey of reinventing the performance management system and using technology for behavioral change and cultural transformation. PULSE was developed to implement a weekly feedback system for 4,500 employees. However, in 2016, PULSE data revealed a surge in silver and bronze badges and a decline in gold ones. What story was PULSE telling? Students apply diagnosis at organizational, group, and individual levels to evaluate the intervention and identify the way forward.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Case Research Journal"s principal objective is to provide case instructors, whether academics, consultants, or company in-house trainers, a selection of high-quality cases on Asian companies and MNCs operating in Asia-Pacific. These cases, not having been previously published, provide a fresh and topical pool of cases for teaching purposes. The cases are either decisional — that is, requiring some business decision from the reader — or illustrative in nature, such as reasons for a firm"s success. The cases come from various business disciplines including strategic management, marketing, organizational behavior/human resources, operations management, and MIS. All cases have been double blind refereed to ensure quality.
