Discussion Points and Relevant Literature
Implications: what does this imply about the contract and R&D market in outsource/offshore countries? What areas should we and future contributions to the literature discuss?
The Table Below Discusses Implied Future Areas of Research

Rational

Current project planning

 

Physical Distance

Communication & Culture

Costing Forecasting
What levels do you do it at?
Installments?
Percentage of work completion?
How do you overcome communications and other issues?
Cultural differences
Language barriers
Physical distances
Time differences

Political Offloading
Physical Distance 		Client offloading the entire cost burden of a project
Easier for client to distance himself from the outsource firm

Knowledge
Management
Exploitation
vs
Exploration 		Think the "Kenmold" way is the company able to proactively respond to market trends and changes?
Can Kenmold learn from each customer and build a portfolio of market knowledge that can be applied across customers? Is the client exploring new product ideas with Kenmold, or are they exploiting Kenmold's technical knowledge without availing themselves of exploration opportunities?
Discussion Questions and Future Research
·Research focused on global NPD knowledge sharing networks can they be made effectively?
·How important is it to understand the other company in global outsourcing relationships?
·What are the implications to global outsourcing and the political ramifications that result in the home market and     the client-supplier relationship?
·What is the most effective way to adapt technology for efficient global contract NPD relationships?
·Is the"pool-bike" case a singularity or endemic throughout South-East Asian firms?
