2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE:
History:
The word "software" had been coined as a prank by at least 1953, but did not appear in print
until the 1960s. Before this time, computers were programmed either by customers, or the few
NIVAC and IBM. The first company founded to
provide software products and services was Computer Usage Company in 1955. The software industry
ry expanded greatly with the rise of the personal computer in the mid-1970s,
which brought computing to the desktop of the office worker. In subsequent years, it also created a

expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after computers were first sold in mass-produced
quantities. Universities, government, and business customers created a demand for software. Many of
these programs were written in-house by full-time staff programmers. Some were distributed freely
between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done on a commercial basis, and
other firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation (founded in 1959) started to grow. The computer-
makers started bundling operating systems software and programming environments with their

Oracle and VMWare. Enterprise software, the software that automates business
finance, production, logistics, sales and marketing, is made by Oracle, SAP AG , Sage and
ftware is made by the likes of Symantec, Trend Micro and Kaspersky. Several
ftware makers are also among the largest software companies in the world:
lack Board making software for schools, and companies like
Qualcomm or Cyber Vision making software for telecom companies. Other companies do contract

Leading companies: Mindshare and Marketshare
In terms of technology leadership, the software industry has long been
led by IBM. However, Microsoft became the dominant PC operating system supplier. Other companies
that have substantial mindshare (not: marketshare) in the software industry are SUN Microsystems, the
developer of the Java platform (purchased by Oracle in 2011), Red Hat, for its open source momentum,
and Google for its Google Docs. However in terms of revenues coming from software sales, the
software industry is clearly dominated by Microsoft, since inception. Microsoft products are still sold in
largest number across the globe.
According to market researcher DataMonitor, the size of the worldwide
software industry in 2009 was US$ 303.8 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2008. Americas
account for 42.6% of the global software market's value. DataMonitor forecasts that in 2013, the global
software market will have a value of US$ 457 billion, an increase of 50.5% since 2009.

INDIA IT INDUSTRY:
The Indian information technology (IT) industry has played a major role in placing India on the
international map. The industry is mainly governed by IT software and facilities for instance System

network services and IT Solutions. According to Nasscom's findings Indian IT-BPO industry expanded
by 12% during the Fiscal year 2010 and attained aggregate returns of US$ 71.6 billion. Out of the
derived revenue US$ 59.6 billion was solely earned by the software and services division. Moreover,
the industry witnessed an increase of around US$ 7 million in FY 2009-09 i.e. US$ 47.3 billion against
US$ 40.9 billion accrued in FY 2009-09.
IT Outsourcing in India:
As per NASSCOM, IT exports in business process outsourcing (BPO) services attained revenues
US$ 48 billion in FY 2009-09 and accounted f

Indian Software Industry:
The Indian Information Technology industry accounts for a 5.19% of
the country's GDP and export earnings as of 2011, while providing employment to a significant number
of its tertiary sector workforce. More than 2.3 million people are employed in the sector either directly
or indirectly, making it one of the biggest job creators in India and a mainstay of the national economy.
In 2012 , annual revenues from outsourcing operations in India amounted to US$54.33 billion
compared to China with $35.76 billion and Philippines with $8.85 billion. India's outsourcing industry
is expected to increase to US$225 billion by 2020.
Recent trends in software Industry:
The computer software industry, unlike the more traditional
manufacturing and services industries, is coping with the current gloomy economic climate as best it
can by concentrating on transforming interesting ideasinto novel technology, must-have applications,
and competitive maneuvering rivals. Profits may be down at the moment but expectations, whether for
companies like Microsoft, Apple, and IBM or Intel, Symantec and Oracle, remain quite high.Remond,

Additional issues facing the computer software industry are piracy, a
crime which may lessen once software app

CHAPTER III
In intention to discover the relationship between efficient capital management and firm’s
profitability(Shin & Soenen, 1998) used net-trade cycle (NTC) as a measure of working capital
management. NTC is basically equal to the CCC whereby all three components are expressed as a
percentage of sales. The reason by using NTC because it can be an easy device to estimate for
additional financing needs with regard to working capital expressed as a function of the projected sales
growth. This relationship is examined using correlation and regression analysis, by industry and
working capital intensity. Using a Compustat sample of 58,985 firm years covering the period 1975-
1994, in all cashs, they found, a strong negative relation between the length of the firm's net-trade cycle
and its profitability. In addition, shorter NTC are associated with higher risk-adjusted stock returns. In
other word, (Shin & Soenen, 1998) suggest that one possible way the firm to create shareholder value
is by reducing firm’s NTC.
The study of (Shin & Soenen, 1998) consistent with later study on the same objective that done
by (Deloof, 2003) by using sample of 1009 large Belgian non-financial firms for the period of 1992-
1996. However, (Deloof, 2003) used trade credit policy and inventory policy are measured by number
of days accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories, and the cash conversion cycle as a
comprehensive measure of working capital management. He founds a significant negative relation
between gross operating income and the number of days accounts receivable, inventories and accounts
payable. Thus, he suggests that managers can create value for their shareholders by reducing the
number of days accounts receivable and inventories to a reasonable minimum. He also suggests that
less profitable firms wait

est earned ratio. Finally, there is no difference between the liquidity ratios of large and
small fi
e the level of operating assets, increase the need for external funding, resulting
ts and a lower return on equity, without any increase in profit.
However the picture changes when uncertainty (i.e. uncertain growth) is introduced (Brigham
nd Houston, 2000). Larger amounts of cash, securities, accounts receivables, marketable securities,
ventories, and fixed assets will be needed to support increased sales Required levels will be based on
xpected sales levels and expected order lead times. Additional holdings may be needed to enable the
rm to deal with departures from the expected values. Further, firms will also attempt to increase their
ccounts payable balances as a means of financing increased levels of current operating assets. Firms
hich are in high growth stages will face the challenge of maintaining the necessary level of operating
ssets to support subsequent growth, while at the same time attempting to maintain adequate
erformance indicators.
In other study, (Lyroudi & Lazaridis, 2000) use food industry Greek to examined the cash
conversion cycle (CCC) as a liquidity indicator of the firms and tries to determine its relationship with
the current and the quick ratios, with its component variables, and investigates the implications of the
CCC in terms of profitability, indebtness and firm size. The results of their study indicate that there is a
significant positive relationship between the cash conversion cycle and the traditional liquidity
measures of current and quick ratios. The cash conversion cycle also positively related to the return on
assets and the net profit margin but had no linear relationship with the leverage ratios. Conversely, the
current and quick ratios had negative relationship with the debt to equity ratio, and a positive one with
the times inter
rms.
Working capital policy refers to the firm's policies regarding 1) target levels for each category
of current operating assets and liabilities, and 2) how current assets will be financed. Generally good
working capital policy (i.e. under conditions of certainty) is considered to be one in which holdings of
cash, securities, inventories, fixed assets, and accounts payables are minimized. The level of accounts
receivables should be used as a means of stimulating sales and other income. Previous literature on
working capital management has found a negative association, overall, between level of working
capital and operating performance as measured by operating returns and operating margins (Peterson
and Rajan, 1997). Under conditions of certainty (i.e. sales, costs, lead times, payment periods, and so
on, are known), firms have little reason to hold more working capital than a minimum level. Larger

existing literature by examining a sample of firms (i.e. recent
O firms) which have a wider range of growth levels than non-IPO firms. Our study examines the
ines these relationships under three categories of growth (i.e. negative
An underlying theme of this study is that high growth certainly does not ensure high operating
performance. Consistent with prior research (Peterson and Rajan, 1997) this study provides further
evidence that good working capital management is positively associated with better operating
performance. Higher levels of accounts receivable are associated with higher operating performance, in
all three of the growth rate categories. The study also finds that maintaining control over levels of cash,
securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payables is associated with higher operating
performance. We find that firms which are experiencing very high growth will hold higher levels of
cash, securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payable to support the high growth. The study
suggests that these firms are sacrificing operating performance (accepting lower operating returns) to
support the high growth. This, in turn, increases financial and operating risk for these firms. Perhaps
IPO firms should stay more focused on their operating performance, while maintaining more moderate
growth levels.

CHAPTER V
DATA ANALYSIS
1. CURRENT RATIO:
Current ratio is defined as the relationship between current asset and current liabilities. This
is most widely used ratio. The standard ratio is 2:1; the current asset is twice than the current liabilities.
If the ratio is less than 2 then difficulty may be experienced in payment of current liability and day-to-
day operations of the business may suffer. If the ratio is higher than 2, it is very comfortable for
creditors but for the concern, the funds would be locked up in this, which may be unproductive or idle.

ITION RATIO:
This ratio is also called ‘absolute liquidity ratio’ or ‘super quick ratio’. This is a variation of
quick ratio. This ratio is calculated when liquidity is highly restricted in terms of cash and cash
equivalents. This ratio measures liquidity in terms of cash and near cash items and short – term current
liabilities. Cash position ratio is calculated with the help of the following formula.

Before this time, computers were programmed either by customers, or the few NIVAC and IBM. The first company founded to provide software products and services was Computer Usage Company in 1955. The software industry ry expanded greatly with the rise of the personal computer in the mid-1970s, which brought computing to the desktop of the office worker. In subsequent years, it also created a an only be accessed through the Web, and by definition no client software is loaded onto the end user's PC. commercial computer vendors of the time, such as U expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after computers were first sold in mass-produced quantities. Universities, government, and business customers created a demand for software. Many of these programs were written in-house by full-time staff programmers. Some were distributed freely between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done on a commercial basis, and other firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation (founded in 1959) started to grow. The computer- makers started bundling operating systems software and programming environments with their machines. The indust growing market for games, applications, and utilities. DOS, Microsoft's first operating system product, was the dominant operating system at the time.In the early years of the 21st century, another successful business model has arisen for hosted software, called software as a service, or SaaS ,this was at least the third time this model had been attempted.

Enterprise software, the software that automates business finance, production, logistics, sales and marketing, is made by Oracle, SAP AG , Sage and ftware is made by the likes of Symantec, Trend Micro and Kaspersky. Several ftware makers are also among the largest software companies in the world: lack Board making software for schools, and companies like Qualcomm or Cyber Vision making software for telecom companies. Other companies do contract rogramming to develop unique software for one particular client company i.e outsourcing, or focus on rom large vendors such as SAP or Oracle. Size of the industry: Software sectors: The Global Scenario There including operat Sybase, EMC, processes in Infor. Security so industry-specific so SunGard, making software for banks, B p configuring and customizing suites f Leading companies: Mindshare and Marketshare In terms of technology leadership, the software industry has long been led by IBM. However, Microsoft became the dominant PC operating system supplier. Other companies that have substantial mindshare (not: marketshare) in the software industry are SUN Microsystems, the developer of the Java platform (purchased by Oracle in 2011), Red Hat, for its open source momentum, and Google for its Google Docs. However in terms of revenues coming from software sales, the software industry is clearly dominated by Microsoft, since inception. Microsoft products are still sold in largest number across the globe. According to market researcher DataMonitor, the size of the worldwide software industry in 2009 was US$ 303.8 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2008. Americas account for 42.6% of the global software market's value. DataMonitor forecasts that in 2013, the global software market will have a value of US$ 457 billion, an increase of 50.5% since 2009.

The other emerging destinations are Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai, NCR, Trivandrum and Kochi. Technically proficient immigrants from India sought jobs in the western world from the 1950s onwards as India's education system produced more engineers than its industry could absorb. India's growing stature in the information age enabled it to form close ties with both the United States of America and the European Union. However, the recent global financial crises has deeply impacted the Indian IT companies as well as global companies. As a result hiring has dropped sharply and employees are looking at different sectors like the financial service, telecommunications, and manufacturing industries, which have been growing phenomenally over the last few years.

Total fixed-line and wireless subscribers reached 543.20 million as of November, 2011. CHAPTER III In intention to discover the relationship between efficient capital management and firm’s profitability(Shin & Soenen, 1998) used net-trade cycle (NTC) as a measure of working capital management. NTC is basically equal to the CCC whereby all three components are expressed as a percentage of sales. The reason by using NTC because it can be an easy device to estimate for additional financing needs with regard to working capital expressed as a function of the projected sales growth. This relationship is examined using correlation and regression analysis, by industry and working capital intensity. Using a Compustat sample of 58,985 firm years covering the period 1975- 1994, in all cashs, they found, a strong negative relation between the length of the firm's net-trade cycle and its profitability. In addition, shorter NTC are associated with higher risk-adjusted stock returns. In other word, (Shin & Soenen, 1998) suggest that one possible way the firm to create shareholder value is by reducing firm’s NTC. The study of (Shin & Soenen, 1998) consistent with later study on the same objective that done by (Deloof, 2003) by using sample of 1009 large Belgian non-financial firms for the period of 1992- 1996. However, (Deloof, 2003) used trade credit policy and inventory policy are measured by number of days accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories, and the cash conversion cycle as a comprehensive measure of working capital management. He founds a significant negative relation between gross operating income and the number of days accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. Thus, he suggests that managers can create value for their shareholders by reducing the number of days accounts receivable and inventories to a reasonable minimum. He also suggests that less profitable firms wait

However the picture changes when uncertainty (i.e. uncertain growth) is introduced (Brigham nd Houston, 2000). Larger amounts of cash, securities, accounts receivables, marketable securities, ventories, and fixed assets will be needed to support increased sales Required levels will be based on xpected sales levels and expected order lead times. Additional holdings may be needed to enable the rm to deal with departures from the expected values. Further, firms will also attempt to increase their ccounts payable balances as a means of financing increased levels of current operating assets. Firms hich are in high growth stages will face the challenge of maintaining the necessary level of operating ssets to support subsequent growth, while at the same time attempting to maintain adequate erformance indicators. In other study, (Lyroudi & Lazaridis, 2000) use food industry Greek to examined the cash conversion cycle (CCC) as a liquidity indicator of the firms and tries to determine its relationship with the current and the quick ratios, with its component variables, and investigates the implications of the CCC in terms of profitability, indebtness and firm size. The results of their study indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between the cash conversion cycle and the traditional liquidity measures of current and quick ratios. The cash conversion cycle also positively related to the return on assets and the net profit margin but had no linear relationship with the leverage ratios. Conversely, the current and quick ratios had negative relationship with the debt to equity ratio, and a positive one with the times inter rms. Working capital policy refers to the firm's policies regarding 1) target levels for each category of current operating assets and liabilities, and 2) how current assets will be financed. Generally good working capital policy (i.e. under conditions of certainty) is considered to be one in which holdings of cash, securities, inventories, fixed assets, and accounts payables are minimized. The level of accounts receivables should be used as a means of stimulating sales and other income. Previous literature on working capital management has found a negative association, overall, between level of working capital and operating performance as measured by operating returns and operating margins (Peterson and Rajan, 1997). Under conditions of certainty (i.e. sales, costs, lead times, payment periods, and so on, are known), firms have little reason to hold more working capital than a minimum level. Larger amounts would increas in lower return on asse a in e fi a w a p

This study supports the existing literature on existing literature by examining a sample of firms (i.e. recent O firms) which have a wider range of growth levels than non-IPO firms. Our study examines the ines these relationships under three categories of growth (i.e. negative An underlying theme of this study is that high growth certainly does not ensure high operating performance. Consistent with prior research (Peterson and Rajan, 1997) this study provides further evidence that good working capital management is positively associated with better operating performance. Higher levels of accounts receivable are associated with higher operating performance, in all three of the growth rate categories. The study also finds that maintaining control over levels of cash, securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payables is associated with higher operating performance. We find that firms which are experiencing very high growth will hold higher levels of cash, securities, inventory, fixed assets, and accounts payable to support the high growth. The study suggests that these firms are sacrificing operating performance (accepting lower operating returns) to support the high growth. This, in turn, increases financial and operating risk for these firms. Perhaps IPO firms should stay more focused on their operating performance, while maintaining more moderate growth levels. This study focuses on understanding how IPO o working capital and contributes to the IP impact of working capital management on the operating performance and growth of new public companies. The study also exam growth, moderate growth, and high growth). The study also examines other selected firm characteristics in light of working capital management: firm operating and financial risk, amount of debt, firm size, and industry.

    36 CHAPTER V DATA ANALYSIS 1.CURRENT RATIO: Current ratio is defined as the relationship between current asset and current liabilities. This is most widely used ratio. The standard ratio is 2:1; the current asset is twice than the current liabilities. If the ratio is less than 2 then difficulty may be experienced in payment of current liability and day-to- day operations of the business may suffer. If the ratio is higher than 2, it is very comfortable for creditors but for the concern, the funds would be locked up in this, which may be unproductive or idle.
