In late 2009, the management of Mochi Media, a venture-backed startup, must decide how to invest scarce resources to achieve continued growth. Mochi has developed a three-sided platform, connecting Flash game developers, sites that aggregate these games, and advertisers. The case describes the company's history from conception through 2009, when strategic options include broadening beyond Flash games into iPhone-, Android- and Facebook-based games, and vertically integrating into the game aggregator role, which would capture more value but put Mochi into direct competition with platform partners.

This case study focuses on Infosys Technologies Ltd., one of the leading software companies in India. The key to the success of Infosys has been its ability to leverage an innovative business model: The Global Delivery Model, in order to help its clients economize on costs linked to information technology and software development. The success of Infosys has led to competitors mimicking the business model and the Indian software industry as a whole, witnessing rapid growth. The case questions whether the strategy of Infosys, including the Global Delivery Model, is adequate to maintain the company's trajectory of high growth, and its position as one of the leading software companies in the world.
