INTRODUCTION  \nToday, we have a fairly good insight into the status of software development in the industrialized countries. Still however, we know little, if almost nothing, about its status in the developing countries. One of these countries is China.  \nAbout 10 years ago, Chinese software industry was a small and undeveloped sector [7] . It was, and probably still is, an extremely young and fragmented industry consisting of both small firms and foreign corporations. Due to its relatively young age, we know very little about its status of developing software.  \nWhen visiting Fudan University, we had the opportunity to study six Chinese software organizations [3] . Hence, in this paper, we report on their status. We mainly put focus on the requirements management in the pre-implementation phases on business and engineering levels and documentation utilized within the whole development process.  \nThe remainder of this paper is as follows. Section 2 reportson our research method. Section 3 presents the context of this study. Section 4 presents the status within the Chinese organizations and Section 5 makes final remarks.  \nII. RESEARCH METHOD  \nWhen visiting Fudan University as a guest professor in fall 2007, we took the opportunity to study the requirements management practice within some Chinese organizations [3] . For this purpose, we used students attending our course on advanced software engineering. The students were provided with 30 questions and expected answers to them.  \nThe questionnaire used is presented in Table 1. It consisted of four different parts. Part 1 inquired about the organization and its background. Part 2 dealt with the documentation practice on the Business level whereas Part 3 did the same on the Engineering level. Finally, Part 4 investigated the  \nManuscript received February 6, 2009.  \nMira Kajko-Mattsson is with the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University/Royal Institute of Technology, Forum 100, SE-16440.

The template is called  \nSoftware Requirements Management Template (SRMT) .  \nOur questionnaire was open-ended and semi-structured. Its purpose was to give freedom to the respondents to answer in their own terms [9] . The data collection method was convenience sampling [6] . This means that we did not control the choice of the organizations involved in our study. It was students who did it, and they chose the companies that were  \nTABLE 1.
