E-Supply Chain for International Technology Package Development

The research investigates how firms have integrated modern information and communications technologies (ICTs) to supply chains of technology suppliers. Empirical research indicates that the utilization of ICTs by firms has improved the development and delivery of technology packages abroad and distributed the technology package development process among technology suppliers, subcontractors, and technology recipients who are located in different countries. The main contribution of this paper is a framework for distributed technology development process called “e-supply chain for international technology transfer.”
