Article Abstract:
The decision of IBM, one of the world's largest computer companies, to invest an enormous US$6 billion in India by 2010 has evoked mixed reactions from the country's information-technology industry. IBM has not set up research or major product development facilities in India, other than hiring computer programmers and customer-support specialists and is not forthcoming about investment details, leading some observers to accuse IBM of exploiting cheap, skilled labor without relocating high-value positions to India.
