“…Most technology sourcing studies have only focus on developed or technology-intensive contexts (Venkatesan, 1992;Welch and Nayak, 1992;Probert, 1997;Kurokawa, 1997;Cho and Yu, 2000;McIvor and Humphreys, 2000;Jones et al, 2001;Yoshikawa, 2003;Baines et al, 2005;Hung and Tang, 2008;Cánez et al, 2000;Gerhard and Voigt, 2009;Allred and Swan, 2014;Kang et al, 2015).
