Relationship Between Supply Chain Integration and Enterprise Performance of E-commerce in China: An Empirical Study based on Structural Equation Model

EasyChair Preprint 858

Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) has become an important strategy for e-commerce enterprises to gain competitive advantage. The key to SCM is to promote the integration of business processes and logistic, information and capital flow both inside and outside of the enterprise. This paper aims to study the supply chain integration (SCI) of electronic commerce (EC) and its impact on enterprise performance (EP) by constructing the structural equation model (SEM) and using the survey data of 237 e-commerce enterprises in China. The results show that supplier integration (SI) and internal integration (II) have significant positive influence on enterprise performance in China’s EC, while customer integration (CI) has negative influence on EP. This paper contributes to the theory of electronic commercial SCM and provides empirical-proven explanations for manager to differentiate the impact of SI, CI and II on EP.
