The article has some limitations. Due to difficulty in collecting the questionnaires, the sample size of this study is only 95 samples which not exceed five times the number of items on the questionnaires. Future studies could add more samples to improve the reliability of the results.
Second, due to all the items are taken by single source, which is from buyers, there should be common method variance in this research. Therefore, the future study should add the second source to reduce the bias in research.
Finally, because of the characteristics of China culture, the business environment in China is very different from Western, but there is still rare research taking a deep look in China. As a result, the future study should add more situation factors or characteristics to complete this field of research.
