It's not quite there yet, but the goal is certainly within reach. One of India's largest IT solutions providers, Wipro Technologies, is taking on the likes of IBM and Accenture in its effort to be included among the largest and most successful technology services companies in the world. Restructuring Wipro was considered the most important step in becoming a global giant, driven by the goal towards improved customer orientation. During the past few months, Wipro separated itself into several subsidiaries by product line: telecommunications, engineering, financial services, etc. Each subsidiary brings in about $300 million in annual earnings and is self-sufficient with their own accounting books, personnel and administrative functions. This policy of company reduces the workload as well as enhances productivity because of the specific workers performing a specific job on a regular basis. Such a practice at Wipro further resulted in avoidance of duplication of work helps in preventing confusion and minimising the wastage of efforts. Wipro shifted from a centralised to decentralised management system. All responsibilities for growth lay with the management of each entity. "We tried to de-layer the organisation and empower our business leaders with a much higher degree of growth responsibility," said Premji. This practice gives the employee requisite time to explore areas for growth and the opportunity to innovate thereby strengthening the company's competitive position. The authority dispersal develops in the subordinate the ability to deal effectively with challenges and helps them to realise their full potential.

Wipro Technologies, one of India's largest IT solutions providers, restructured its organization in its bid to compete globally with giants like IBM and Accenture. This restructuring aimed to improve customer orientation and operational efficiency, critical to Wipro's ambition of becoming a global technology leader.
The company transitioned from a centralized management system to a decentralized structure, dividing its operations into several self-sufficient subsidiaries focused on specific product lines, such as telecommunications, engineering, and financial services. Each subsidiary operates independently, managing its personnel, accounting, and administrative functions. This decentralization empowered business leaders to take greater responsibility for growth and eliminated an entire layer of executives to streamline operations.
Azim Premji, Wipro's then-chairman, emphasized the importance of this shift, noting that it gave leaders more autonomy and enhanced decision-making at the operational level. This organizational change helped Wipro achieve specialization and allowed better alignment of resources with customer needs.
Despite the advantages of decentralization, including flexibility, faster decision-making, and enhanced accountability, it also posed challenges, such as coordination among subsidiaries and maintaining consistency in strategic objectives. Wipro addressed these challenges by clearly defining roles and responsibilities across its new structure.

Mr. Avinash has joined as a vice President of a manufacturing unit manufacturing garments. As a vice president, he was given the responsibility of increasing the production and efficiency of workers. He observed that managers relied on their personal judgement while attending to the problems they confronted. So he recommended work study which will result in saving time, effort and increasing efficiency. He also noticed that management was not honouring their commitment. He surveyed the market too. His study of the survey showed that demand can be increased through diversification. He decided to diversify into footwear and handbags. He created divisions for garments, footwear and handbags and made the divisional managers responsible for performance. Each division is self contained with respect to various functions like production, purchases, finance, marketing etc. Now he decided to fill the various positions created with the right person. For this, he analysed the number and type of workers needed. He got his organisation registered at naukri.com.
