Abstract: This study comprehends how manufacturers implement governance structures for supply chain integration. The objective is to illuminate the distinct nature of supply chain integration as a governance mechanism. Furthermore, the research identifies and elaborates on four key elements that constitute supply chain integration relationships: information sharing, cooperation, joint decision-making, and system coupling. These elements are actualised through governance mechanisms, including ownership arrangements, incentive strength, management control, and coordination adaptation. Data collection is supplemented by structured interviews with key personnel from both entities. The interviews assess performance in information sharing, cooperation, joint decision-making, and system coupling, as well as the supportive governance mechanisms. The findings have shown a strong exchange of information, close cooperation, and shared decision-making among RMG industry, bolstered by compatible information and production systems. It underscores the absence of ownership disputes, mutually beneficial incentive mechanisms, rigorous management control by the RMG industry, and adaptive coordination mechanisms.
