Abstract: The role of big data in implementing supply chain finance (SCF) initiatives lacks empirical study. There is little guidance available for managers on developing an integrated SCF process in the era of big data. Using organizational information processing theory, this study develops and empirically tests a theoretical framework that investigates the effect of big data analytics capability (BDAC) on SCF Integration, and the moderating effect of data-driven culture. The hypothesized relationships were tested using structural equation modelling and moderated regression analysis, with primary survey data collected from a sample of 307 manufacturing firms in China. The results indicate that BDAC has a significant positive effect on internal SCF Integration, and internal SCF Integration fully mediates the relationships between BDAC and SCF Integration with customers and suppliers. Data-driven culture significantly moderates the effect of BDAC on internal SCF Integration. These empirical findings provide timely and useful guidance for managers on using big data analytics and data-driven culture to implement integrated SCF practices to survive in today's data-rich and uncertain environment.
