what's to stop Oracle from selling their CRM software in India? 1. the whole purpose of CRM is to optimize the costs of your labor force. With labor at .05 the cost of US workers, it isn't really necessary. 2. Oracle software costs are too high for the indian economy. Oracle will have to compete against indian companies price-wise. 3. If they DO decide to drop the price of their software to compete in india, it introduces issues for pricing in the premium markets. Anybody who gave this any thought (which Oracle apparently DIDN'T) would have to question moving their business to emerging markets IF they have a highly profitable US operation. This is just basic business stuff.
