Cross‐Functional Integration: Concept Clarification and Scale Development
综合供应链研究，给出了跨职能整合的统一定义，并开发了测量该概念的量表，旨在为后续研究提供共同基础，帮助学者指导企业实现整合。
The centrality of cross‐functional integration ( CFI ) to supply chain theory and practice has long been recognized. Yet researchers continue to struggle with consistently defining or measuring the CFI construct, thus limiting the utility of CFI research. This research develops (1) a comprehensive definition of CFI that synthesizes previous supply chain research and (2) a valid set of scale items that measure the conceptual domain outlined by this definition. The goal is to build a common foundation for extending knowledge on CFI 's antecedents and consequences, and ultimately to improve scholars’ ability to guide a broader practitioner community still struggling to achieve integration in their organizations.
