Improved Sprint Results With Offshore Indian Teams, Fnu Abdul Hasheem
Dissertations and Theses
Due to the cultural and linguistic differences, different time zones, and complexities of knowledge transfer involved in IT offshoring, offshore-outsourced projects are more prone to failure than in-house and domestically outsourced projects.
