Abstract: This main purpose of this paper is to seek the present role of directors in corporate performance with a special reference to Infosys Technologies Limited. Corporate governance as practiced in India has as its primary goal the optimisation of the performance of corporate entities within the limitations placed on the corporate work environment by the intensity of investor aspirations on the one hand and the compulsions of public interest and situational constraints on the other. Corporate governance reforms in India have focused primarily on the 'role and composition of the board of directors'. Data were collected from the secondary source of information, which is published by the website of the company. The data was used to investigate the positive relationship between the challenges and prospects of corporate governance practices in Infosys Technologies Limited.

Keywords: consequences; optimisation; aspirations; constraints; execution; corporate governance reforms; Infosys Technologies; India; directors role; board of directors; board role; board composition. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
