Abstract

The idea of forming strategic alliances with suppliers while developing a new product has been recognised as an effective strategy for hedging the risk in a dynamic business environment. To implement such strategy, new product development (NPD) team needs to understand the factor that may affect the suppliers' interest of involving in NPD. This study proposes a research model to study such emergent area and to explore the relationships among trust, knowledge sharing, adoption of collaborative information technology and supplier's involvement in NPD process.
