An Empirical Examination of Fit between Supply Chain Integration and Environmental Uncertainty

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, in a dramatically changing marketplace, the integration of all of the resources in a supply chain has been regarded as an important issue for firms. However, in this complex network relationship, which links among firms, lots of uncertain factors could affect the performance of a supply chain. Thus, a structural fit model is needed to address the relationship between supply chain integration (SCI) and environmental uncertainty (EU). Empirical data for hypothesis testing are collected from top-ranked companies in Taiwan. The results show that fit specifically has a positive direct effect on supply chain performance.
