Prior research on supply chain management (SCM) suggests that information sharing has become a major driver of
competitive advantage.In the context of increasingly globalized and competitive economy where organizations are
part of an environment characterized by networks of inter- and intra-organizational relationships,an important
prerequisite of information sharing emerges as supply chain integration (SCI).Little attention has; however,been
paid to the effect of SCI on information sharing.This study focuses on the influence of SCI on information sharing
and supply chain performance (SCP) and the role of information sharing in shaping SCP.Hence,the main purpose of
this study is to evince the influence of supply chain integration (SCI) on information sharing and SCP.Furthermore,
improved supply chain supply chain coordination,quality of products and services,reduced supply chain costs and
the achievement of competitive advantage is directly related to effective information sharing.Thus,information
sharing has become an important issue canalizing this study to further investigate the impact of information sharing
on SCP.The conceptual model comprises of 3 research hypotheses with 3 main constructs; SCI,information sharing
and SCP.Yet we categorize the constructs as; integration with customers,integration with suppliers,and the interorganizational
integration as the levels of SCI; the four types of information sharing namely; information sharing
with customers,information sharing with suppliers,inter-functional information sharing,and intra-organizational
information sharing; and the 4 constructs of SCP which are expenses of costs,asset utilization,supply chain
reliability,and supply chain flexibility and responsiveness.The constructs are measured by well-supported measures
in the literature.The hypotheses are tested via an empirical study in which data are collected from 158 manufacturing
firms in Turkey mainly Marmara Region,that are among the top 500 Turkish manufacturing firms of 2010 listed by
Istanbul Chamber of Commerce.The results suggest that the role played by SCI is critical in information sharing
process as it reinforces connectedness,coordination and collaboration among SC members.Moreover the findings of
the study provide useful insights on how organizations should benefit from information sharing so as to improve their
SCP.
