Abstract: This research strives to identify key differentiating characteristics of firms adopting a supply chain contingency planning process from those that do not adopt. The researchers base their model on Rogers' innovation diffusion variables and supplement the model with additional variables of interest. Results of the research allow the researchers to propose a model of adoption. The results help the authors identify key predictor variables and significantly enhance the level of understanding of the adoption of supply chain contingency planning processes.
