Infosys wins Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises award in Asia

Infosys Technologies has won the Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE)
award in the Asia region, for the year 2002. This award recognizes the  mature knowledge management practices of the company. Infosys is the only
Indian company to have won this award. The awards were announced at the  World Knowledge Forum in Seoul. A panel of senior
executives and leading  knowledge management experts in Asia chose the first Asian MAKE Winners. The
panel rated organizations against a framework of eight key knowledge  performance dimensions that are the visible drivers of competitive
advantage. Establishing an enterprise knowledge culture, developing and  delivering knowledge-based goods and services and
maximizing value of intellectual capital are some examples of the performance dimensions
considered.

The MAKE program is administered by Teleos, an independent knowledge  management research company. The MAKE
research program consists of the  annual Global MAKE study -- the international benchmark for best practice
knowledge organizations, and similar studies at regional/national levels. In 2002, MAKE studies for Asia, Europe, North America and Japan were
introduced. Infosys is also the first company in India to make it to the  final list of around 50 companies globally, from which the top 10 were
declared as the Global MAKE winners, during 2001 and 2002. 

Other winners of the Asian MAKE awards include Asahi Brewery (Japan), Fuji
Xerox (Japan), Kao (Japan), NTT Data (Japan), Pacific Century Cyberworks -PCCW (Hong Kong), Samsung SDS (Korea), Sony (Japan), Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company - TSMC (Taiwan), Toyota (Japan).
