| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of three main dimensions of supply chain integration namely internal integration, customer integration, and supplier integration on firm performance including both operational performance (OP) and financial performance (FP) in Egypt. Data were gathered from 152 Egyptian food-processing plants. SPSS statistical software was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Correlation and stepwise regression analyses were performed. The suggested hypotheses were partially supported, broadly indicating that SCI dimensions are positively associated with firm performance. Likewise, the findings imply that internal integration and customer integration are more closely associated with improved firm performance than supplier integration. In addition to providing a useful model for the food industry through verification and recommendations on how to effectively define, design, and integrate supply chain management initiatives to better serve customers in the food sectors, this study emphasizes the importance of the three dimensions of SCI; findings suggest that SCI should be implemented properly to enhance firm performance. | ||
