Abstract

Results from the qualitative study in Chaps. 6 and 7 provided valuable insights and data for the study of inter-firm collaboration in the Australian and Chinese Mobile Telecom market. However, the qualitative case study is limited by number of cases and location of the interviewed firms. To complement the findings from the qualitative study, a quantitative analysis is carried out based on primary data from an online survey.

Vorheriges Kapitel A Case Study on Collaboration in the Australian Mobile Telecommunication Market

Nächstes Kapitel Conclusions and Recommendations

The 12 Objective benefits are used in separate regression models.

It is assumed that each of these variables has an equal weighting in the formula for TRUST.

It is assumed that each of these variables has an equal weighting in the formula for COMMU.

It is assumed that each of these variables has an equal weighting in the formula for EXPERIENCE.

It is assumed that each of these variables has an equal weighting in the formula for CULTURE.

Another Probit model has been tested for this study (using a dummy variable for OBSUCi in model 1). Although the adjusted R² is slightly higher than the Ordered Probit model, the significance levels and signs of the coefficients are not significantly different.

The correlation between the independent variables in the collaboration model is expected to be high because of the 5 point-Likert scale measurement. However, if the index for each independent variable is changed into a continuous form (divided by a constant value), the correlation has been solved and the significance level of each variable has no significant change.
