Barbara B. Flynn, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The findings of both the contingency and configuration approach indicated that SCI was related to both operational and business performance, and indicated that internal and customer integration were more strongly related to improving performance than supplier integration.

Examining supply chain relationships: Do buyer and supplier perspectives on collaborative relationships differ?

Gilbert N. Nyaga, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine collaborative relationships in two separate studies using structural equation modeling: one study examines buyers' perceptions and the second study examines suppliers' perceptions, and the two studies are then compared using invariance testing in order to determine economic and relational factors that drive satisfaction and performance from each party's perspective.

The impact of internal integration and relationship commitment on external integration

Xiande Zhao, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a model that specifies the relationship between internal integration, relationship commitment, and external integration, using data collected from manufacturing firms in China, is proposed and tested, and the results indicate that for Chinese controlled companies where there is a strong collectivism culture and more reliance on "Guanxi" (relationship), relationship commitment has a significant impact on external integration with suppliers and customers.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a definition of a firm may be obtained which is not only realistic in that it corresponds to what is meant by a firm in the real world, but is tractable by two of the most powerful instruments of economic analysis developed by Marshall, the idea of the margin and that of substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (2)
Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "The impact of power and relationship commitment on the integration between manufacturers and customers in a supply chain" ?

This paper extends the power– relationship commitment theory established in Western marketing literature and links it with SCI in China, through examining the relationship between power, relationship commitment and the integration between manufacturers and their customers. The authors propose and empirically test a model using data collected from 617 manufacturing companies in China. These findings are interpreted in light of national culture differences between China and the U. S. in terms of power distance and collectivism, which provide a new perspective on SCI. 

Their study is the first to study these relationships using data collected from manufacturers in China. Although this study makes significant contributions to both academia and practice, there are several limitations which open up venues for further research. Future studies should seek additional drivers of CI and examine their impact. Future studies should further develop this construct, to provide a deeper understanding of it in China.
