Research "Offshore Agile based software development"

Greetings!

Offshore software development is a latest trend which explodes with very high rate .Apart from its advantages; it is also becoming a big challenge for today’s world. The basic purpose of my research is to find out the success and failure rate and suitability of Agile process model for offshore software development.

In this research, I am considering two factors and their effect/ suitability for Agile based offshore software development,
1- Type of software (like, web development, ERP, complex software, etc)
2- Developmental strategy (offshore development of a complete software project, offshore some modules of a project and on shore the other modules, offshore some phases of the software development, etc)
I need your valuable experience and professional observations to get the basic input for my research.
Your feedback will help me to conclude, which type of the software development is best suitable for offshore and Agile process model, and what kind of developmental strategies a company should adopt in a particular situation, or for a specific project type, for successful development of the offshore software project by using Agile process model.
