Shahim Uddin The research paper presented in this project report focuses on the comparative performance of software companies in developing countries concerning product radicalness, new product advantages, customer unfamiliarity, and industry differences. It is based on SEM-PLS and ANN methodologies and therefore adopts a sophisticated approach to the study of these variables and their relationships. As a result of the outcome SEM-PLS, it was established that product radicalness relates positively to firm performance through new product advantages, while customer unfamiliarity has a negative impact. To further enhance predictive accuracy, we applied the ANN model, which accommodates non-linear relationships and non-normal data distribution. Based on the results, the ANN model revealed an 86.2% prediction accuracy and ranked product radicalness as the first key contributor to firm performance. In addition, industry differences were also represented when the different trends were discovered; for example, there was a higher sensitivity to customer unfamiliarity in the manufacturing industry than in the service industry.

The studies were all done on Bangladesh based software firms to gain their perspectives and identify and investigate the challenges and present a guideline addressing those. The studies helped to gather insights on the scenario of the firms based in Bangladesh and contributed to the research experience.
