Supply chain integration and firm performance: the moderating role of demand uncertainty

Supply chain integration (SCI) has become increasingly important among firms. Several studies have addressed SCI’s effect on firm performance. However, many moderating factors such as demand uncertainty can influence its effect. In this study, we empirically examined the moderating effect of demand...
