Abstract
Purpose
This research examines how to enhance financial performance (FP) through the interplay between information technology and their suppliers in the supply chain. On this, the research objective is to assess the role of integration with suppliers (IWS) and integration by suppliers (IBS) in the interface between integrated information technology (IIT) and FP in the supply chain.
Design/methodology/approach
A theoretical model was designed, and hypotheses were tested with structural equation modelling and qualitative data from a survey of 205 multi-industry companies from Egypt.
Findings
The findings indicate that IIT has a positive significant relationship with financial performance, in this case, partially mediated jointly by IWS and IBS.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature by establishing a measurement approach for the proposed duality of supplier integration. A crucial implication of this duality is the requirement of IWS and IBS to enhance the effect of IIT on FP in supply chain partnerships and the fact revealed in our research that IWS precedes IBS in supply chains.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Logistics Management (IJLM) is a scholarly publication that focuses on empirical research, with a particular emphasis on qualitative studies. The journal is committed to publishing articles that contribute original ideas to the field of logistics and supply chain management, which are presented in a clear and scientifically rigorous manner. All submissions undergo a rigorous, anonymous peer review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the research.
IJLM serves as a platform for the development and examination of management theories and practices in logistics and supply chain management. The journal aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application, providing a forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to share insights and knowledge.
