MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to interpret the relationship between supply chain integration (SCI) and performance. To find empirical evidence of the moderating factors that affects said relationship, as well as to describe, classify, and discuss the empirical evidence. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic review of 72 studies published during the period 2001-2015 is offered. A multi-criteria approach is used to sort, structure and classify papers with the purpose of contributing to the discussion. Findings – The direct relationship between SCI and performance shows mostly positive results, however, the moderating effects analyzed show a clear lack of consistency since their effect and significance vary depending on the measures used, both in SCI and performance. Research limitations/implications – The use of specific keywords of SCI to select an initial sample of papers may lead to a narrow perspective, although snowballing was used to include relevant papers initially excluded. Originality/value – The analysis and classification of moderating factors as well as the measure of their tendency help to better understand the questions that remain unsolved regarding SCI and performance. Propositions for further research are suggested.
