Resumo
Starting in the early 1990s, a growing and increasingly open Brazilian economy spurred extraordinary development in the domestic IT and software sectors. Firms across the economy invested in IT and created demand for the nascent software industry. However, the market incentives drove a number of software firms towards serving numerous regional clients, instead of the riskier strategy of investing in product development or pursuing service exports. As a result, Brazilian companies matured more slowly compared to India and other developing countries emerging as lead players in the international software market. Industry prospects changed with the emergence of lead domestic client sectors in banking and telecom, and with the growth of competition, coupled with a strong entrepreneurial culture. These observations demonstrate that there are alternative paths to those followed by India, Ireland, and Israel in the acquisition of competencies in the software industry.
