“…Parboteeah et al (2005) also found that 1) countries with high individualism scores also were likely to not perceive innovative technology as useful, and (2) high masculinity scores increased PU. Since Kuwait scored low in individualism (31 points) and average in masculinity (43 points), we would expect Arab suppliers not to view e-RA as useful.…”

“…With a score of 68, Kuwait ranks relatively high in UA (Hofstede, 1980;At-Twaijri & Al-Muhaiza, 1996;Parboteeah et al, 2005), suggesting that Kuwaiti businessmen place a high value on formal rules to overcome risk. Since e-RA sourcing is new, uncertainty surrounds its use.…”

“…Furthermore, the success of this event-given Kuwait's high uncertainty avoidance (UA) and high power distance (PD)-suggests an innovative technology-based procurement (a risky venture) should not have been possible (Parboteeah, Parboteeah, Cullen & Basu, 2005). Yet for some reason, in this particular event, the Kuwaiti vendors overcame their natural aversion to risk and participated.…”

This case study explores the first and only electronic reverse auction (e-RA) conducted by the United States Air Force (USAF) in Kuwait and addresses both theoretical gaps in e-RA knowledge and practitioner gaps within the Department of Defense (DoD). Qualitative research based on a single case study explored 1) cultural implications of conducting an e-RA in the Middle East and 2) procedures DoD contracting officers could follow to use e-RAs for stateside and contingency procurements-and expected savings from doing so. Findings suggest that Middle Eastern sellers with a cultural disposition to avoid risky technology-based acquisition participated in the USAF auction because they trusted the USAF more than buyers in the local market. Sellers also felt increased satisfaction with the e-RA even when they did not win because the process increased fairness, transparency and reduced the negative effects of wasta (i.e., using connections or influence) and the general Arab business climate of distrust, unfairness, and favoritism. Secondly, a detailed spend analysis of FY07-08 USAF spend data, extrapolated across the DoD, suggests the DoD is leaving billions of dollars on the table by not using e-RAs.Drawing on the results, implications for theory and practice are explicated. Finally, study limitations are disclosed, and opportunities for future research are identified.

Adopting the framework of a multicomponent, distributed outsourced project in information technology research and development, the present paper introduces a quantitative model of the asymptotic stability of development output in the outsourced project components. Empirical production functions are employed to formulate stochastic distributions of the parameters in the model. Observational data @om actual industrial projects are compared with prediction results from Monte Carlo simulations of the underlying project dynamics to determine the span of the linear regime of development progress. Simulation-based analysis further provides domain maps of parameter stability. These are valuable tools for project managers and management practitioners to control and sustain the long-term evolution of the project. The points of departure from linearity as well as some of their probable causes are also indicated and discussed.
