Abstract
This research article examines how intra-organizational and inter-organizational expertise impacts the sourcing decisions of technologically interdependent components. The authors argue that organization and supplier expertise affect the incentives to undertake concurrent sourcing of interdependent and complementary components. The research is conducted using North American powder metal and metal stamping companies. An overview of the methods of the study is presented. Results include the finding that an organization with a degree of expertise that spans compenents will most likely concurrently source as opposed to vertically integrate.
