Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to empirically explore the influence of supply chain information integration (SCII) on supply chain innovativeness (SCI) and supply chain resilience (SCRE).
Design/methodology/approach
Data from 403 manufacturing companies in Uganda were analyzed using Analysis of Moments of Structures version 27. Unmeasured common latent factors were used to minimize the bias of common methods.
Findings
SCII, SCI and SCRE have significant positive relationships. About 41% of SCII and SCRE are partially mediated by SCI.
Research limitations/implications
Considering variations in perception of SCRE, the cross-sectional nature of the study limits generalizability and transferability. Experiments and interviews are recommended to explore differences between firms in SCRE.
Practical implications
SCII and SCI capabilities buffer a firm’s SCRE.
Originality/value
This study establishes SCI as a mediator between SCII and SCRE by studying manufacturing firms in a developing country context.
