Leading firms can encourage other resource-constrained partners to get on board by providing technical and financial support. However, due to the uncertain consequences of relying on leading firms, these partners may still be reluctant to adopt BT. Drawing on resource dependence theory, this study aims to investigate whether and when supply chain alignment can be used as a dependency coping strategy to increase the willingness of resource-constrained partners to adopt BT. Moreover, it aims to examine the motivators for supply chain alignment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study adopted a survey research design and collected data from 364 small and medium-sized enterprises in China.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Supply chain alignment positively affects BT adoption. The effect of supply chain alignment on BT adoption is contingent on <jats:italic>guanxi<\/jats:italic> (a Chinese cultural tradition of interpersonal connections that facilitate a mutual exchange of favors).
