This study examined the impact of the interaction between demand uncertainty and supply chain integration on firm performance (operational and financial dimentions) using a survey method with questionnaire. Previous studies had not examined the interaction impact between integration and uncertainty on supply chains performance as was done in this study. The research population consists of the firms that were in steel and auto parts industries. In total, 84 firms participated in the study. We used hierarchical regression model to test our hypotheses with industry type added as a control variable. Results show that integration in internal and process dimensions have positive impact on operational and financial performance. However, integration in product has negative impact on financial performance. When firms face with demand uncertainty, process integration will improve financial performance. Due to results, this study recommend companies to focus on internal and process integration as more effective types of integration, which improve financial and operational performance. In condition with demand uncertainty it is better for firms to prioritize process integration. Furthemore, type of industry dosnt have impact on study results.

The purpose of this study is investigating the effect of supply chain drivers on Qazvin manufacturing companies’ supply chain integration and company performance. The organizational culture has been used as a moderating factor in this relation. The study has 6 hypotheses in which data are gathered with questionnaire form 79 supply chain managers, as required sample, using structural equation model with the partial least square analyzed. The findings revealed that internal drivers have positive impact on supply chain integration. Also none of the dimensions of external drivers have positive impact on integration. As the results show, organizational culture mediates the relation between external drivers and supply chain integration, but does not mediate the relation between internal drivers and integration. Eventually, supply chain integration has a positive and significant impact on company financial and operational performance. The results of this study provide a comprehensive understanding to supply chain managers and lead them to identify effective factors on supply chain integration and improving company performance

This study examines the impact of supply chain integration (SCI)dimensions on competitive capabilities. For this purpose, therelationship between dimensions of SCI (internal integration andexternal integration including supplier integration and customerintegration) and competitive capabilities (cost, quality, delivery,product innovation) were examined using a conceptual model. Thedata was collected from top managers of 44 medium and largeenterprises of Mashhad Food and Beverages Industries by surveyapproach. In this study, partial least squares method by Smart plssoftware and Hulland procedures are utilized to evaluate themeasurement and structural models. The results indicated that internalintegration is a prerequisite for external integration. The study alsorevealed that, internal integration and external integration havepositive impact on improvement of firms’ competitive capabilities. Itwas further noticed that, internal integration improves competitivecapabilities through external integration
