Abstract
The present study tries to expand the current body of literature on supply chain integration, by studying the antecedents of logistics integration and firm performance in the context of the downstream petroleum supply chain in India. Data was collected from 348 petrol stations in the states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, India. Path analysis using structural equation modelling was performed to know the strength of the relationship between the identified variables. The findings show that long-term relationship affects firm performance. Also, information technology positively affects logistics integration, which positively affects firm performance. Based on these findings, the study proposes solutions to the issues being faced in the downstream petroleum supply chain in India. The current research applies past findings on supply chain integration in the context of downstream petroleum supply chains in India and addresses the lack of academic research as well as provides specific courses of actions as implications for the issues of downstream petroleum supply chains in India.
期刊介绍:
Today"s businesses have become extremely complex. The interplay of the three Cs, viz. consumers, competition and convergence, has thrown up new challenges for organisations all over the world. Sensitivity of economies to the external environment coupled with the turbulent process of globalisation has added the highest degree of uncertainty and unpredictability to business processes. To top it all, the effect of globalisation has shifted the balance of power in favour of the customer, though it may have opened a plethora of opportunities for all, in the form of variety and choice. For a variety of reasons, the pressures of competitive forces have enhanced product changes, supercharged by shortening product and technology development lifecycles.
