Some key findings on software globalisation :
- Globalisation of the sector is envisaged as a business expansion both in home and host countries; sector needs more new markets and growth than cost savings;
- ECE countries increase their attractiveness in terms of sourcing and market options.
- There is a neighborhood effect in delocalisation of European IT (Germany-Poland; Sweden- Estonia; Greece –Bulgaria).
- India is producing standardized software and it is not a competitor to European IT sector which is dominated by custom solutions.
- Software outsourcing did not create unemployment in home countries- Some Central European countries reach the labour prices as these ones in
DC.- Most important factors than labour cost are skilled labour, creativity,
reliability and trust- Importance of political and fiscal stability of host countries.
Design and elaboration of questionnaire draft - Feb 2011
Interviews will be done through completing of semi-structured questionnaire, where the questions will be aggregated in three sections:
- General characteristics - Value chain characteristics: organizational forms and governance - Territorial impact – labour issues
The number of surveyed firms is planned to be twenty. Ten interviews will be done under each case study.
