DEFINING AND OPERATIONALIZING SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESS INTEGRATION
针对供应链流程整合概念缺乏共识的问题，提出将内部与外部整合视为两个独立构念，每个包含连通性和简化两个维度，并给出实证支持。
Integration has been recognized as critical to successful supply chain management. However, an extensive literature review revealed no consensus in its conceptualization. The current study attempts to address this research gap by providing a better definition and operationalization of supply chain process integration. With empirical support, it is proposed that internal and external supply chain process integration should be treated as two separate constructs, each comprised of two dimensions: connectivity and simplification.
