Performance effects of supply chain integration: The relative impacts of two competing national culture frameworks

The effects of supply chain integration on operational performance have been investigated in past research. However, this relationship has not been tested in the context of national culture, which forms the major objective of this study. Furthermore, a second objective is to identify the elements of...

description The effects of supply chain integration on operational performance have been investigated in past research.
