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.

供应链整合由内而外的动力：与供应商和由供应商进行信息技术整合的相互作用

目的本研究探讨如何通过信息技术与其供应链中的供应商之间的相互作用来提高财务绩效（FP）。设计/方法/途径设计了一个理论模型，并通过结构方程模型和对埃及 205 家跨行业公司的定性调查数据对假设进行了检验。研究结果研究结果表明，IIT 与财务绩效之间存在积极的显著关系，在这种情况下，IIT 部分受 IWS 和 IBS 的共同影响。这种二元性的一个重要含义是，IWS 和 IBS 是加强 IIT 对供应链伙伴关系中 FP 的影响的必要条件，而我们的研究也揭示了供应链中 IWS 先于 IBS 的事实。
