Abstract :
Global software development efforts have increased in recent years. One force fueling these efforts is the worldwide availability of a rich and talented knowledge pool that can be effectively and efficiently mobilized, increasing the prominence of outsourcing initiatives. Outsourcing projects have moved from mundane software maintenance tasks to more complex and significant engagements such as innovative product development, complex system development, and large-scale R+D projects
