摘要：

The economic aspects of external software development was analyzed using economic theories. The agency theory and transaction cost economics theories were used to analyze the risk involved and customer specific investments in the contracts. Vendors undertake short term risks through fixed price and milestione-tied payments while customers undertake full long-term risks. It is suggested that risks should be shared more equitably in order to provide incentives to reduce them.
