Global software development: exploring multiplicity and asymmetric dynamics in collaborative work

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

  • Stina Matthiesen

This overview presents the mid stages of my doctoral research-based on ethnographic work conducted in IT companies in India and in Denmark-on collaborative work within global software development (GSD). In the following I briefly introduce how this research seeks to spark a debate in CSCW by challenging contemporary ideals about software development outsourcing through the exploration of the multiplicities and asymmetric dynamics inherent in the collaborative work of GSD.
