Exploring the Relationship between Supply Chain Integration and Firm Performance——Based on Meta Analysis

Abstract

Abstract:

Supply chain integration is a key in the supply chain management. The relationship between supply chain integration and firm performance is a critical issue. But the existing researches reach different conclusions about the relationship:strong correlation, weak correlation, no relation, negative correlation and even reverse U-shape. Based on 57 samples, this paper uses Meta-analysis to analyze the relationship between supply chain integration and firm performance through correlation coefficient. Furthermore, this paper uses re-gression analysis to find out the influence of moderate variable. The results show that:supply chain integration has moderate intensity in-fluence on firm performance. And the moderate variable has different impacts on the relationship between supply chain integration and firm performance.

Key words: supply chain integration, Meta-analysis, firm performance, moderate variable
