With the development of software outsourcing industry, there is a growing trend to establish the software outsourcing alliances. Whether alliances’ profit distribution is reasonable affects directly and significantly alliances’ stability. This paper introduces the Shapley value method which is a common profit distribution method applicable to multiple people cooperation.
