ABSTRACT: e-Business is a vast area of study. Normally Information System
researchers preferred to use a combination of quantitative and qualitative
study or known as Mixed Method approach. This is because qualitative study is able
to explain the quantitative finding in more details. Malaysian e-Supply Chain

to identify measurement parameters for trusted trading partner. This study
focused on the role of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as a tool for e-Business
research included with the FGD procedure, size of participant, and challenges
in conducting the FGD sessions.
