Offshore software development outsourcing (OSDO) is an important paradigm in global software development. OSDO is a well known business strategy adopted by many organisations in developed countries by outsourcing their software development work to low-wages countries to get high quality software development at low cost. However outsourcing is not a risk free business. Vendor organisations need to address a number of factors for successful outcomes of the outsourcing relationships. Knowledge sharing management (KSM) is one of the key areas to be addressed by vendor organisations for successful outcomes of OSDO relationships. This research seeks to explore KSM in the context of OSDO relationships from vendors’ perspective. The objective of this project is to design Knowledge sharing management model (KSMM) to assist outsourcing vendor organisations in managing and executing knowledge sharing management efficiently. This paper contributes to the design of planned structure for the development of KSMM.
