Limited trust, cooperation and communication have been identified as some of the issues that hinder collaboration
among business partners. These one also true in the acceptance of e-supply chain integrator among organizations that
involve in the same industry. On top of that, the huge number of components in supply chain industry also makes it
impossible to include entire supply chain components in the integrator. Hence, this study intends to propose a method for
identifying "trusted" collaborators for inclusion into an e-supply chain integrator. For the purpose of constructing and
validating the method, the Malaysian construction industry is chosen as the case study due to its size and importance to
the economy. This paper puts forward the background of the research, some relevant literatures which lead to trust values
elements formulation, data collection from Malaysian Construction Supply Chain and a glimpse of the proposed method
for trusted partner selection. Future work is also presented to highlight the next step of this research.
