A concerted effort towards flourishing global software development

In this paper we report on the efforts and progress made in China so far in the face of the coming era of global software development. China's young software industry clearly knows much works and preparations should be done in a concerted effort before joining the global family. Learning from India's experiences, we have adopted a series of steps and measures towards this direction, including: careful studies, focus on quality improvement, HR development, software image building, etc. After these efforts, an obvious return has been observed, e.g., in Shanghai the software export has revealed a high growth rate of 50-90% in recent years.
