In the world of competition, manufacturing and service companies are trying to enhance their competitive capabilities in order to be able to give more value to their customers and gain prominent positions in competition with other companies. Every company tries to concentrate on its one or more capabilities in competition in order to turn them into a clear competitive advantage that improves the firm performance. In fact, it is necessary for the firms being active in market and being consistent with competitive requirements to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. This study investigates the effect of competitive capability on firm performance under environmental uncertainty conditions. The findings show that competitive capability has direct positive effect on customer satisfaction, financial performance, and market performance. In other words, enhancing these capabilities leads to improving customer satisfaction and increases market and financial performance. Investigation of the effects of different aspects of competitive capabilities on different performance aspects show that the capability of cost leadership positively affects financial performance and market performance but, has no effect on customer satisfaction. Also, the capability of differentiation has direct positive effect on customer satisfaction but affects financial performance and market performance negatively. Additionally, the examination of the moderating effect of perceived environmental uncertainty on the relationship between competitive capability and firm performance shows that in different environmental conditions, the effects of cost leadership capability on customer satisfaction, differentiation capability on financial performance, and differentiation capability on market performance are moderated. On the other word, managerial decisions in these areas are affected by environmental conditions involved in processes of material supply, production, and market demand.

“…Competitive capability is measured by means of different indicators in previous studies (Feng et al, 2010;Kim, 2006Kim, , 2009Hosseini Baharanchi, 2009;Oghazi, 2009;Mzoughi et al 2008;Swink et al, 2007;Li et al, 2006;Rosenzweig et al, 2003;Vickery et al, 2003;Matanda and Schroder, 2002) . We cannot see an agreement in these studies for determining aspects of competitive capabilities like such in supply chain integration literature and every study has its own arrangement of the aspects measuring competitive capabilities.…”

In the current conditions of competitive market, companies shed light on not only their own organization's affairs, but also on the identification of other relevant resources and factors out of their organization to have appropriate reaction in facing with them. That is to utilize opportunities to gain competitive advantages and enhance their level of competitive capability. The key concern in a supply chain is to coordinately managing and controlling of all the primary and support activities of the company that will be achieved with an appropriate integration of supply chain. In fact, having an integrated approach to the processes, internal and external, and emphasis on win-win approach instead of negotiating approach between elements of the chain are the most important issues in supply chain integration context. This study investigates the impact of supply chain integration on competitive capability. According to the findings of the study, supply chain integration has direct positive influence on competitive capability. In more depth, integration with suppliers has direct negative impact on competitive capability elements of cost leadership and differentiation. Internal integration has no direct impact on competitive capability. On the other hand, internal integration influences on cost leadership and differentiation indirectly through integration with suppliers and integration with customers. So, it can be resulted from findings that internal integration as a foundation for supply chain integration has direct influence on integration with supply chain partners, suppliers and customers, and eventually, results in improvement of competitive capabilities of the organization.
