    GLOBAL SOFTWARE OUTSOURCING: ONLINE REPORT ON GOOD/BAD PRACTICE

    A new online report on global software outsourcing is available at:
    http://www.man.ac.uk/idpm/idpm_dp.htm#devinf_wp

    The report, based on long-term research on a number of outsourcing
    relationships, develops a new model to explain good and bad practice
    in the development and operation of such relationships. It provides
    guidance on best practice that will be of value to both practitioners
    and researchers.

    An amended version of the report forms one article in the
    recently-published IEEE Software special issue on global software
    development. For further details, see:
