CAPTIVE MODEL
The firm wants to exercise control over operation.
The organization believes it can accomplish a lower-
cost model on its own than by sourcing to a third-party.
It has security and IP concerns.
It cannot find an existing third-party service provider to
fulfill its service requirements.
An offshore captive center offers complete control over offshore operations and may boost savings. But it's not right for every company …….
ADVANTAGES OF CAPTIVE MODEL
They attract top local talent for industry-specific
skills.
They present an ability to transfer more complex and
IP-related tasks than under a third-party model.
Direct control over the operation lets one develop the
culture as he see fit.
Reducing time to market: New product launch.
But captive centers bring their own challenges as well . . . .
Organizational challenges: Offshore captives challenge the staffing, style, and formal and informal information systems of the client organization.
Process challenges: The client organization must pay special attention to optimizing infrastructure and technology at the captive center.
Financial challenges: Firms need to manage cross-border cash flows and ensure that cost advantages are real and being preserved over time.
Cultural challenges: Cultural differences between a client organization and its offshore captive center can create challenges just as cultural differences between the client organization and a third-party provider can.
Captive model (example)
• EXULT:
A part of part of Hewitt Associates.
Built a captive in Mumbai, in 2002.
It calculated compensation ranges, took taxes into
account, and signed regulatory, customs, and legal
documents
Press releases were sent out and ads were placed to
hire people.
Intensive training was given to new hires.
A 320-person captive BPO center in Mumbai that
yielded savings of more than 40 percent over onshore
facilities by its second year of operation.

Joint Ventures Q: Why Joint Ventures? Ans: As there are good business and accounting reasons to
create a joint venture (JV) with a company that has complementary capabilities and resources, such as distribution channels, technology, or finance, joint ventures are becoming an increasingly common way for companies to form strategic alliances.
In a joint venture, two or more "parent" companies agree to share capital, technology, human resources, risks and rewards in a formation of a new entity under shared control……
business benefits
Combining complementary R&D or technologies.
Efficient commercialization of a technology or business
concept.
Developing or acquiring marketing or distribution
expertise.
Sharing of scientists or professionals with unique skills.
Financial support, or sharing of economic risk.
Acceleration of revenue growth.
Ability to increase profit margins.
New product development.
DISADVANTAGES of joint ventures
As with all types of farm business arrangements, there is the
potential for disagreements - good communication techniques
must be practiced.
A joint venture could potentially be interpreted as a
partnership with the associated negative income tax and
liability implications.
Each party does not have the freedom of independence in
action and decision making as in a sole proprietorship.
JV with nonprofessional partners will harm the reputation.
Joint venture (example)
• Tech Mahindra – British Telecom deal:
Tech-Mahindra was earlier called Mahindra-British
Telecom (MBT), and it was a joint venture between
British Telecom and Mahindra & Mahindra. MBT was
renamed Tech-Mahindra before it went public in 2006.
British Telecom has a 36% stake in Tech Mahindra.
Mahindra group holds 51% in the company, while the
remaining is with public.
Tech Mahindra has signed a five-year outsourcing deal
with British Telecom (BT) that is expected to generate
revenues of over $1 billion.
Joint venture (example)
• Tech Mahindra – British Telecom deal:
Expected to generate revenues of over $1 billion.
This is the largest contract bagged by any software
services firm in India.
TM will support BT’s planned growth of managed
services to business customers around the globe.
It also provide services related to BT’s internal
systems, processes and reusable platforms.
BT is already the largest customer for Tech Mahindra
and contributes over 69% of its total revenues.
