Abstract or Description

SI success for NPD depends on whether a traditional gatekeeper of supplier—salesperson—serves as a facilitator or obstructor in SI. Drawing from sociotechnical system theory, we explore how a salesperson’s barricading behaviors moderate the effects of the timing of engineer involvement in a buyer’s NPD process on supplier performance.
