Base on the positivist's stance of a research philosophy, the proposed model derived from the Transaction Cost Economics theory (TCE) is designed to be initially verified by semi-structured interview. Then, a proposed model will be statistically tested by a Structural Equation Modelling using empirical data obtained from questionnaire survey. Furthermore, a multiple cases study will be simultaneously employed in order to triangulate the result and to gain industrial insights.} }
