Software Export Success Factors and Strategies in Developing and Transitional Economies
Richard Heeks & Brian Nicholson
Abstract
Many developing and transitional economies have become active or interested in software exports. This paper analyses the experiences of the three largest exporters - India, Ireland and Israel. It develops a 'Software Export Success Model' on the basis of that analysis. It uses the model to investigate current strengths and weaknesses of three 'second-tier' exporters: Russia, the Philippines, and China. It then draws some conclusions about recommended actions for these and other would-be software exporting nations.
