    Abstract

    This overview presents the mid stages of my doctoral research—based on ethnographic work conducted in IT companies in India and in Denmark—on collaborative work within global software development (GSD). In the following I briefly introduce how this research seeks to spark a debate in CSCW by challenging contemporary ideals about software development outsourcing through the exploration of the multiplicities and asymmetric dynamics inherent in the collaborative work of GSD.
