Abstract :
The Chinese commercial software industry, although lagging behind India´s, has recently been undergoing major structural shifts that could make it the Asian industry leader. As in any economic sector, companies in the software industry need to realign and adapt to major technological and market changes. The Indian software industry doesn´t seem to make efforts to realign and adapt to technology and market changes. On the other hand, the Chinese software industry is undergoing major interrelated structural shifts in many respects.
