GLOBAL SOFTWARE OUTSOURCING: ONLINE REPORT ON GOOD/BAD PRACTICE

A new online report on global software outsourcing is available at:cfp http://www.man.ac.uk/idpm/idpm_dp.htm#devinf_wp

The report, based on long-term research on a number of outsourcing relationships, develops a new model to explain good and bad practice in the development of such relationships. It provides guidance on best practice that will be of value to both practitioners and researchers.

An amended version of the report forms one article in the recently-published IEEE Software special issue on global software development. For further details, see: http://www.computer.org/software/so2001/s2toc.htm
