Abstract
Global software development is becoming a widely accepted practice in software industry. While benefits of global software development have been identified and publicized, potential risks have not been fully investigated and addressed. This paper analyzes the impacts of globalization on software development, especially its long term impact on software product quality and software industry competitiveness. This issue is rather critical for prominent software providers. Potential solutions are discussed to address these issues in order to reduce the risk and take advantage of the benefits of global software development.Globalni razvoj programske podrške postaje naširoko prihvaćen način rada u industriji programske podrške. Dok su njegove dobre strane uočene i obznanjene, mogući rizici nisu u potpunosti istraženi i odgovarajuće adresirani. Ovaj članak analizira učinke globalnog razvoja programske podrške, posebice njegov dugoročni utjecaj na kvalitetu programa i konkurentnost industrije programske podrške. Taj je moment razmjerno kritičan uglednim proizvođačima programa. Diskutirana su moguća rješenja za adresiranje tih problema kako bi se rizik umanjio i iskoristile dobre strane globalnog razvoja programske podrške
