Cross-cultural Issues in Global Software Outsourcing |
Abstract:
Cross-cultural working is an increasing feature of our more globalized world,
but problems can occur due to differing norms, values, attitudes and styles
of working. Such issues will be discussed using illustrations from a research
study of software outsourcing from Japan to India. Some implications for
cross-cultural practice will be presented.
