In August 2010, SKS completed an IPO that from the global financial perspective was a great success: it was 13 times oversubscribed, and the company's valuation reached the top of the offer band price (which initially listed the value of the company at $1.5 billion), and the share price rose 13% on its first day of trading and rose 29% within four weeks of the IPO. In the process, SKS raised $348 million in fresh capital that, in theory, was supposed to help further grow the business and allow SKS to serve more people with financial services and microcredit than it reached before the IPO. Shares of SKS Microfinance rose by over eight per cent in early trade, after the company reported a net profit of Rs 1.2 crore for the third quarter ended December, 2012. The company has earned profit after seven consecutive quarters of losses on account of rise in advances. The Company incurred a loss of Rs. 262 crore in Q2-FY13 and a loss of Rs 428 crore in Q3FY12.

Tel: þ 612 6128 7323 Abstract The importance of the impact of IT for organizations around the world, especially in light of a very slow recovery from the global financial crisis, has amplified the need to provide a better understanding of the specific geographic similarities and differences of IT managerial and technical trends. Going beyond identifying these influential factors is also the need to understand the considerations for addressing them in light of recognizing the respective local characteristics, especially when operating in a globally linked environment, although somehow heavily influenced locally. By comparing and contrasting IT trends from different geographies, this paper presents important local and international factors (e.g., management concerns, influential technologies, budgets/spending, organizational considerations) necessary to prepare IT leaders for the challenges that await them. It...
