Abstract
Rooted in the theories of transaction cost economics and contingency theory for technology transfer, this study is being undertaken to examine supplier reputation aligned with the competitive needs of an organization as an important criterion for the selection of supplier-sourced innovative new technologies. Competitive advantage for an organization through supplier-sourced innovative technologies would be empirically investigated by i) analyzing the relationship of supplier reputation fit with the competitive advantage of the organization, and ii) analyzing the relationship between competitive advantage and the successful adoption of supplier-sourced innovative technology in the organization. As such, the study aims to make an important theoretical contribution in the area of buyer-supplier innovative technology diffusion, transfer, and integration. Further, as more organizations are undertaking digital transformation initiatives, the proposed study can provide empirical evidence for the managers on the importance of supplier reputation as a critical selection criterion for supplier-sourced innovative new technology.
