TLDR
In this paper, the authors study the concept of supply chain integration scope by comparing firms that involve immediate supply chain partners in their strategic efforts (narrow supply chain scope) versus those that involve suppliers beyond the immediate level, for example second tier suppliers and end customers.Abstract:
In this article, we study the concept of supply chain integration scope by comparing firms that involve immediate supply chain partners in their strategic efforts (narrow supply chain scope) versus firms that involve supply chain partners beyond the immediate level, for example second tier suppliers and end customers (broad supply chain scope). By relying on Coordination Theory and expanding upon Frohlich and Westbrook's (2001) ‘arcs of integration’ principle, we propose that supply chain integration scope and the type of supply chain management efforts deployed by firms are correlated. We use data from a large sample of US and European firms to explore the association between supply chain integration scope and supply chain management efforts. The results show that supply chain integration scope can be predicted by a firm's supply chain management efforts. The implications of our results for practising managers are also offered. Our results suggest that supply chain managers should consider the practices ...read more

Revisiting the arcs of integration: Cross‐validations and extensions
Tobias Schoenherr,Morgan Swink +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that internal integration strengthens the positive impacts of external integration on both delivery and flexibility performance, but the theory is not supported for either quality or cost performance.

Risk, risk management practices, and the success of supply chain integration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the role of risk and risk management practices in the success of supply chain integration in terms of their impact on cost and innovation performance by applying the relational view and through cross-country survey and secondary country data.

Supply chain integration and efficiency performance: a study on the interactions between customer and supplier integration
Pamela Danese,Pietro Romano +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of customer integration on efficiency and the moderating role of supplier integration was analyzed in a sample of 200 manufacturing plants and two hypotheses were tested through a hierarchical regression analysis.

The Relationship Between Strategic Supply Chain Integration and Performance: A Meta‐Analytic Evaluation and Implications for Supply Chain Management Research
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of empirical studies on the impact of supply chain integration on performance is presented. But they focus on strategic integration rather than on functional or operational/tactical studies, which would weaken the practical value of the analysis and findings.

Structural equation modeling in practice: a review and recommended two-step approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development, and present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys
TL;DR: This article used subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies for estimates of the magnitude of bias and found that the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys
JS Armstrong,Terry Overton +1 more
TL;DR: Valid predictions for the direction of nonresponse bias were obtained from subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies and the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.
