Nguyễn Thu Hương, Katsuhiro Umemoto · 2009
AbstractThis paper examines the impact of the nature of software offshoring on knowledge sharing. A case study of software offshoring from Japan to Vietnam has been conducted. We focus on analyzing some features such as cross-cultural context, the high security and Intellectual Properly Right issues, the one-way knowledge sharing process. Findings indicate that these factors slow down knowledge sharing process. We also recognized that utilizing Bridge SE (System Engineer) is an effective way to cope with these challenges. We finally concluded that the term Bridge SE should be studied more by both academics and practitioners.
