| Abstract: | The determinants of contract choice is studied in offshore software development projects and it is examined, how the choice of contract and other factors in the project affect project profits accruing to the software vendor. Using data collected on 93 offshore projects from a leading Indian software vendor, evidence is provided that specific vendor-, client- and project-related characteristics such as requirement uncertainty, project team size and resource shortage significantly explain contract choice of these projects. |
