Abstract

Different paradigms are used to study socioeconomic dynamics of the software development process. The study seeks to examine the software development process at the project, firm national, and international level. Three paradigms are selected to pursue this examination: 1) dialectical and historical materialism; 2) computational thinking; and 3) system dynamics. This approach of employing multiple paradigms is designed to develop a comprehensive but cohesive presentation of possible software production scenarios.
