Description
Summary:Advancement of Information Technology (IT) m terms of infrastructure and technology in Malaysia has allowed e-Business applications such as e-procurement, being adopted for handling routine supply chain (SC) business transactions, This shows the technology readiness in Malaysia is improving especially in the information exchange perspective. However, this readiness for technology adoption among SC components is still at its infancy stage. Many SC components still prefer to conduct their businesses in the conventional way and are unwilling to collaborate electronically. One of the major factors as has been identified by few researchers is the lack of trust among the SC components. Thus, due to the above, the focus of this thesis is to propose an e-SC trust model which can help SC components to identify a trusted partner for potential e-SCM B2B (Business-to-Business) collaboration. In other words, this study is aimed to support electronic collaboration of trusted SC components.
