N1  - ' The world is flat' - this popular account of current developments celebrates transnationally operating companies as great equallisers.  Such tendencies of homogenisation come up against limits however focussing on Indo-German project work in software programming this study analyses the complex interrelations between the business models of transnataionally  operating companies and localised standards of regulating reproduction.
