“…Third, relational risk is found to be negatively associated with inter-organizational information sharing. Especially, how the relational views of relational governance (such as relational benefits) restrain encroachment, which is not dealt with in previous studies (e.g., [11]). The findings of the study provide some practical insights into how supply chain members should reinforce their relational benefits so as to improve their value-based relationships and manage relational risk, in order to enhance inter-organizational information sharing for the supply chain as a whole.…”

“…The result indicates that strengthening the business relationships leads to achieve company goals and create competitive advantages, inter-organizational information sharing is increasingly popular [6,11].This study provides useful insights for managers in developing inter-organizational information sharing. The findings of this study on the effects of relational benefits and relational risk, not only are in line with prior research, but also reveal how information sharing is significantly affected by relational benefits through other mediating variables such as relational risk.…”

“…Little has examined the inter-relationship between relational governance and risk management that affect information sharing and these relationships, despite being an important issue in inter-organizational research [9,10]. It is generally believed that the information sharing is greater when parties have a good relationship [11]. As such, both partners in a relationship begin to value the relationships and the probability of relational risk behaviors will diminish accordingly.…”

This research explores how inter-organizational relationship interacts with factors affecting the development and implementation of information sharing. On the basis of the resource-based view and relational risk perspective, we developed a model which comprises three research hypotheses with three constructs, including relational benefits, relational risk, and information sharing. The constructs are measured by well-supported measures in the literature. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze survey data collected from 528 manufacturing firms that were among the top 1,000 Taiwanese manufacturing firms of 2011 listed by Business Weekly. The results of the empirical study suggest that relational benefits are critical in ensuring information sharing and mitigate relational risk in the process. The findings of the study provide useful insights into how supply chain members can reinforce their relational benefits and mitigate probable risks so as to improve their collaborative behaviors and in turn enhance information sharing for the supply chain as a whole.

“…Sambamurthyet al, (2005:237-263) support that supply chain aligned and integrated IT systems on business processes and IT activities enable supply chain agility across the supply chain network. These integrated IT processes built on underlying four strategic domains including business strategy, IT strategy, organisational infrastructure and processes, and IT infrastructure and processes (Du et al, 2012). The magnitude of supply chain electronic integration and close linkage without legal constraints to hinder information velocity should be the reflection of successful information sharing and proper management of bullwhip effect.…”

“…Scholars believe that information sharing is very beneficial for accelerating collaboration and cooperation in the supply chain (Du, Lai, Cheung, & Cui, 2012;Khan, Hussain, & Saber, 2016). In other words, the authors claimed that information sharing generates more productive partnerships among supply chain partners and creates integration between supply chain players such as suppliers and manufacturers which contributes to higher level of firm's performance.…”

Aim/PurposeAn important objective of any firm is escalation of its performance and the achievement of competitive advantages. Supply chain agility plays a prominent role to enhance the level of firm's performance. Moreover, information technology (IT) plays a foundational role in supply chain management practices. Hence, this study proposes the relationship between IT integration as the competency of IT and firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Background Many studies have been done to date on the impact of supply chain agility on overall firm's performance. However, the effect of an agile supply chain on firm's market performance per se needs to be studied. Furthermore, there is a gap in the literature about the effect of IT competency such as IT integration on firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Recommendation for ResearchersThe first direction this study gives to researchers is to consider the different factors which have significant effect on the agility of supply chain, particularly the IT related ones. The second direction is about the study on the effect of IT competencies and supply chain agility on each category of firm's performance separately instead of considering it as a one construct. Impact on Society Although this is a conceptual study, it can highlight the importance of IT competency not only in our daily life, but also in our businesses and industries. Future ResearchThis study only proposes some relationships based on theory and literature. Future researchers can test these proposed relationships in different contexts and IT Integration and Supply Chain Agility on Market Performance (A Proposed Study) 100 compare the results. Furthermore, this study proposes the relationships for large manufacturing sector in developing countries. The model could be tested for SMEs as well. In addition, the proposed theoretical model in this study might be tested in both developing as well as developed countries to compare the results which will be contributed to the body of knowledge.
