Abstract: Supply chain integration (SCI) has attracted much attention from academia and industry. Empirical studies have employed different theories and have built various conceptual models to probe the effect of SCI on performance. Our study sets out to conduct a review on the SCI-performance relationship by combining the perspectives of theories and conceptual models. Our purpose is to enrich the theoretical as well as the practical understanding of SCI. Based on the review of 160 empirical studies, we find ten commonly used theories and eight conceptual models regarding the SCI-performance relationship. We discuss how these theories are applied in establishing different conceptual models and obtain nuanced theoretical and practical insights by looking at the combination of theories and conceptual models. Our study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how and why SCI influences performance and better informs managers regarding how to implement SCI.
