Karnataka, especially Bangalore has become a Favorite destination for IT and IT -enabled companies BPOs and Call Centers. The state has attracted FDI investments from all over the world. The current trend in the development of IT and IT-related industries is poised to witness unprecedented growth in the coming years, because of vast pool of trained manpower and people who have good command over English language. In spite of these advantages if the industry were to survive, take roots and grow, it is necessary to acquire data and information pertaining to several expects of IT industry and applying it in managing Human Resources technical processes and environmental relations such as the relation with the Government. IT industry in Karnataka is of very recent origin and hence no attempt has been made to conduct systematic and large scale studies on problems pertaining to this industry. Hence it is perhaps the need of the hour to address the problems, plan scientific studies and generate valid and usable data and information.
In this context, I would like to propos the following studies, all of which fall in field of Applied Behavior Sciences in Human Resources Management, Organizational Studies and Macro Sectoral Studies. Given below are the topics for Research Studies and proposals in summarized version. Those IT Companies interested to sponsor the studies can contact the above author for working out detailed proposal and subsequent arrangements for sponsorship.
