This paper aims to examine integration of supply chain and demand chain in emerging markets. We present a research model of demand and supply chain integration which responds to customer’s needs through the integrated information flows. Integration of demand and supply chain synchronizes the key processes in terms of frontend development, product planning, product design, procurement, manufactu...

While supply chain integration is measured at three levels: information, resources and organization, the emphasis of the paper is placed on how information integration can be achieved through B2B e-hubs. After reviewing the concept of supply chain integration and the evolution of e-hubs, we examine two groups of e-hubs classified by supply chain processes, namely procurement and transportation,...

Supply chain integration nowadays is considered an important approach to building and sustaining competitive advantages. Many previous empirical researches have investigated trust and power between suppliers and customers, yet, the effects of trust and coercive power on supply chain integration are still largely unknown. This study investigates trust, coercive power and their interaction and th...
