Abstract

The effect of cultural differences is often overlooked or neglected when analysing attractive, cost-effective options for software development. This papers aims to highlight people issues that arise out of cultural differences between interacting software development teams, particularly between Indians and non-Indians. The author's intent is to merely bring out the differences and not to provide solutions or recommendations or to identify root causes for the behavior. This is an experience paper, mostly based on observations and sharing of personal experiences from various colleagues and coworkers.
