Russia's no-frills outsourcing strategy
Russia's no-frills outsourcing strategy: "Have a tough project to outsource? A bit of Russian doom and gloom might be just what you need, according to AMR Research analyst Lance Travis, fresh from a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia.
'Russian firms tend to be more pessimistic in their approach to project management,' Travis said. 'One customer of Indian and Russian services providers contrasted the two cultures as, 'Indians always report the best possible scenario and the Russian firms always the worst possible scenario.' The customer felt the Russian approach was more appropriate for high-risk projects.' "
