Özet

Supply chain integration (SCI) is regarded as a developing and an important topic. Therefore a deep examination of research related to SCI is vital for further awareness. With this manner, this study aims to show how supply chain integration influences firm performance with using the method of meta analysis. SCI is examined as a whole and under four dimensions which are internal, customer, supplier and information integration. Firm performance is also studied as a whole and under two types which are operational and business performance. According to the results customer integration positively influences operational performance and internal integration positively influences business performance. In every relationship tested there are moderator factors, which probably hinders to fling positive association between SCI and performance as single constructs. © EuroJournals, Inc. 2012.
