“…The role of prior collaborative ties seems to be related to reducing uncertainties in the process of project participation. In fact, software development is not only a production process but also a social process that heavily involves inter-personal communication and coordination (Curtis et al 1988, Robey and Newman 1996, Sawyer et al 1997, Sawyer and Guinan 1998. Moreover, in the OSSD context, the difficulty inherent in the social process becomes even greater than in traditional software projects since members of an OSSD project are typically from geographically dispersed locations, have diverse cultural backgrounds, and have limited (if not any) face-to-face interactions.…”

“…In the context of indigenous Irish software firms 1.9% (10 companies), out of a total of 630 employed more than 100 people whilst 61% of the total employed 10 or fewer, with the average size of indigenous Irish software firms being about 16 employees [8]. The term "Very Small Entity" (VSE) had been defined by the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 Working Group 24 "an entity (enterprise, organization, department or project) having up to 25 people" [11]. Furthermore the issues of limited resources in VSEs always become a constraint in producing a competitive product in today's dynamic software business.…”
