“…Lastly, our study demonstrated that supply chain performance is significantly associated with logistics integration which has emerged as a dominant competency in regard to customizing order processes, improving material flows, improving cost efficiency, and refining overall value stream. This finding is consistent with previous studies that asserted the key to constructing a highly competitive supply chain is by implementing end-to-end logistics solutions [9,49,50]. Such a strategic integration also helps continuously match logistics service capabilities with rising customer expectations and thus helps client firms improve product quality as well as market share.…”

Firms have strategically used cooperative linkages to establish competitiveness. In this study, we incorporated the resource dependency theory view to assess how trust, satisfaction, and commitment affect firms’ decisions on logistics integration. Also, we examined the link between logistics integration and supply chain performance. The study collected data from 250 South Korean manufacturers for analysis. The results revealed positive impacts of trust, satisfaction, and commitment on logistics integration between manufacturing firms and logistics service providers that enhances logistics service capabilities of the firms. Furthermore, our study showed that building a strategic relationship for logistics services helps the manufacturing firms improve their business and operations performances in their supply chain. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…In the literature, general support exists in favor of the positive impact of supply chain integration on firm performance, but mixed findings exist in various studies (Flynn et al, 2010;Leuschner et al, 2013). For example, Jayaram and Xu (2013) have found no significant association between supplier integration and flexibility performance; Leuschner et al (2013) have revealed the lack of a significant association between the overall supply chain integration and flexibility performance; and relational integration with supply chain partners has even shown a negative effect on supply chain performance in Som et al (2019) study on manufacturing industries in Ghana. Although the incomplete and evolving conceptualization of supply chain integration might explain the inconsistent findings (Flynn et al, 2010), further research is necessary to make the statements generalizable (Leuschner et al, 2013).…”

“…Integration is undoubtedly critical for a successful supply chain and optimal firm performance (Flynn et al, 2010;Som et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2013); however, an understanding of the requisites for achieving integration is lacking (Sheu et al, 2006). Bowersox et al (2005) have emphasized that digital transformation is inevitable for a firm to achieve genuine collaboration.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the direct effect of supply chain integration on operational performance and the mediating effects of external integration on the relationship between internal integration and operational performance among manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative survey research design was adopted. A total of thirty (30) manufacturing firms were sampled using cluster sampling. The data was collected using questionnaires from 317 employees in the procurement, account and administration units of the 30 manufacturing firms. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the direct and mediation relationships.Findings: The results showed that the relationship between internal integration and operational performance was significantly mediated by external integration. It was established that operational performance could only be achieved when manufacturing firms’ managers pay critical attention to internal and external integration. A Significant positive relationship also exists between supplier integration and operational performance as well as customer integration and operational performance.Originality/value: The unique contribution of the current study is the assessment of the mediating effect of external integration constructs (customer integration and supplier integration) as the mediating variable on internal integration and operational performance.
