The impact of inter-organizational information systems-enabled external integration on capabilities of buyer–supplier dyads

How do Partners Benefit from IT Use in Supply-Chain Management: An Empirical Study of Taiwan’s Bicycle Industry

“…Radhakrishnan et al [10] Examined the direct and indirect effect of IOS usage (through external integration) on the capabilities of a buyer -supplier dyad.…”

“…Recent, leveraging the process-based view of IT, Peng et al [9] establish a theoretical framework to study the mediation effect of business process and supply-chain management capabilities on the impact between IT capabilities and performance in China's manufacturing industry. Furthermore, based on empirical data from buyer-supplier dyads, Radhakrishnan et al [10] examined the IOIS usage direct and indirect impact on capabilities. In addition, from intra-firm and inter-firm contexts, Prajogo et al [11] examined the role of information management as a driving force for process management and its impact on operational performance.…”

“…Hence, previous research that examined the benefits of these systems to network leaders in various industries could not show the actual supply-chain capability and its operating performance and financial performance of partners [18], especially for the traditional industry sector. Therefore, it is valuable to examine the impact of SCMS usage on performance from full supply chain rather than the network leader or one focus firm [10]. From a single industry (i.e., the bicycle industry) supply-chain viewpoint, this study intends to examine the effect of SCMS usage on supply-chain capability and operational performance, and ultimate financial performance.…”

Customization and Performance of Service-Oriented Manufacturing Information System: The Mediating Effect of Information System Flexibility

“…Internal integration means that "manufacturers build their own organizational strategies, practices and processes into collaborative and synchronous processes to meet customer needs". External integration means that "the manufacturer cooperates with its external partners to build the inter-organizational strategy, practice and process into a collaborative and synchronous process" [12] [13].…”

“…In the research of information processing theory (IPT), Good basic data of SMIS is helpful for system users to receive, understand, store, extract and feed back information and knowledge, and provides a foundation for efficient connection of information systems based on manufacturing cloud across functions and organizations, and supports business changes, organizational structure changes, strategic changes and demand changes. Radhakrishnan [13] thinks that information system integration within an organization is the electronic connection between the company's information technology applications and data acquisition and storage systems, which is helpful to share accurate and timely information and support cross-functional business processes. Zhao Xiande [48] believes that internal integration is the integration of all information systems within an organization, which enables information to be transmitted to upstream and downstream partners of the supply chain in a timely manner, helping enterprises to quickly respond to decisions and respond to market changes.…”
