13. Conceptual model with prepositions E learning Activities Barriers Relationship Management Intention to adopt sustainability

14. P 1: E learning activities have positive impact on the supply chain partners relationship. P 2: E learning activities have negative impact on the barriers to the sustainability adoption P 3: E learning activities directly related to intention to adopt sustainability. P 4: Quality of relationship is negatively related to barriers to sustainability adoption P 5: Quality of relationship is directly related to the intention to adopt sustainability. P 6: Decrease in the intensity of barriers is directly related to the intention to adopt sustainability Conceptual model with prepositions

15. Proposed Research Methodology Group of companies listed in some association, industry specific, and combination of the industries. Most of the previous research has been done in automobile industry. The sample size has been taken at the different rate of the sample like 10%, 15% and 20% of the universe. A proper questionnaire is to be developed with the help of literature and experts from the universe of the study. Statistical tools for the validation and reliability check was CFA. Multiple regressions, logistic regression and other. In recent studies use of SEM has been increased to test the proposed model. AHP can be used for assigning the weight for each barrier.
