Supply chain integration-performance nexus in emerging & developing economies: a systematic review

The literature on SCI-performance nexus remains inconclusive and inconsistent. This study analyses the most recent literature aiming to clarify the most important conceptualisations of SCI, identify existing performance measures, and assess the evidence supporting the SCI-performance nexus.

description The literature on SCI-performance nexus remains inconclusive and inconsistent. This study analyses the most recent literature aiming to clarify the most important conceptualisations of SCI, identify existing performance measures, and assess the evidence supporting the SCI-performance nexus. This investigation contributes to the extant literature in several ways: stipulating the current state of knowledge, deriving valid insights, revealing gaps in the current body of knowledge, and suggesting directions for future research. It employed the systematic review method, investigating fifty empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2023. Our findings reveal that the multidimensional measure of SCI, encompassing supplier, internal, and customer integration, has emerged as the standard framework. Performance measures primarily focus on operational and firm-level outcomes. Though the empirical evidence on the SCI-performance nexus remains complex, SCI generally has positive impacts on performance in the EDEs context. Three conceptual models explaining existing relationships have emerged. Future research ought to verify the validity of the proposed conceptual models. The study’s broader applicability may have been constrained by its exclusive focus on studies conducted within the context of EDEs.
