dc.description.abstract | The objective of this thesis is to analyze the factors that create competitive advantage through global delivery of IT services. Research on this thesis consists of a review of IT services markets and globally distributed operating models for IT services. A simple framework is created to analyze global delivery models (GDM) used by IT services companies. A few companies, including Infosys, have pioneered the GDM and hence the framework created is used to analyze Infosys' global delivery model. Finally, recommendations are made, based on this analysis, to enable firms to gain competitive advantage by looking beyond the adoption of global delivery models for IT services. | en_US |
