Offshore outsourcing generally occurs from developed nations to developing nations. It is undeniable that several major issues, such as culture, could subtly influence the success of such projects. Mum effect is an important risk in offshore outsourcing of software projects. The degree of intensity and probability of this particular risk is likely to be different in different cultural environments. This study investigates the relationships between mum effect and Hofstede's cultural dimensions by collecting data from hundreds of Thai IT professionals. Several mitigation strategies are also discussed. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ICIME 2010: 2nd IEEE International Conference on Information Management and Engineering, Chengdu, China, 16th - 18th April, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Information Management and Engineering (ICIME), p. 401-404 | Publisher: | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) | Place of Publication: | Piscataway, United States of America | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 080309 Software Engineering | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 890299 Computer Software and Services not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication |
