Abstract: Small Indian software firms employ widely varying profiles of manpower. Manpower is the most important resource of such firms. Variatioiis in resources cannot be suitably defined by a resource perspective on strategy. This paper argues that software firms follow emergent strategies. Resource strategy and business strategy of a firm in the software industry are influenced by a process perspective. Firms employ quality of manpower to leverage emergent market disequilibria.
