Organizational Identification and Supply Chain Orientation: Examining a Supply Chain Integration Paradox Summary

Author's abstract: The current approach to operationalizing supply chain management relies on the premise that there are stages in which an organization extends internal integration to external integration by means of implementing integrative mechanisms. Although important developments have been made in identifying the common antecedents and practices for achieving internal integration and external integration, complex relational behaviors as well as integration barriers that occur within an organization, and their solutions, are the next phase to understand and integrate supply chains. Accordingly, given the internal-to-external implementation approach to supply chain integration, this dissertation examines the Social Identity construct, organizational identification, as a source of relational supply chain integration barriers that originates within an organization and evaluates supply chain orientation as a solution that will mitigate this source of relational barriers. This dissertation involves a survey approach and structural equation modeling procedures to test three theoretically grounded hypotheses: (H1) Achieved internal integration has a positive effect on organizational identification; (H2) Organizational identification has a negative effect on achieving supplier integration; and (H3) Supply chain orientation mitigates the negative effect that organizational identification has on achieved suppler integration (i.e., negatively moderates). Specifically, partial least squares structural equation modeling is the main analysis technique to test the hypotheses while post hoc analysis entails covariance based structural equation modeling. The hypothesis tests suggest that achieved internal integration increases the tendency of organizational identification; organizations perceive supplier integration as a condition that will benefit an organization; and organizational identification and supply chain orientation are discrete phenomena that occur within an organization that yield a significant positive effect on achieved supplier integration. Lastly, the post hoc analysis indicates organizational identification partially mediates the positive effect achieved internal integration has on achieved supplier integration. Although this dissertation sought out to identify a source of relational behavioral barriers of supply chain integration that originates within an organization and then to offer a solution that mitigates the source of the relational behavioral barriers of supply chain integration, the primary academic and managerial contributions of this research is identifying two discrete phenomena that benefit the organization as well as facilitates supply chain integration.

What is audiobook and how does it work?
Audiobooks are voice recordings of the text of a book that you listen to rather than read. Audiobooks can be exact word-for-word versions of books or abridged versions. You can listen to audiobooks on any smartphone, tablet, computer, home speaker system, or in-car entertainment system.

An electronic book, also known as an e-book or eBook, is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book",some e-books exist without a printed equivalent.
E-books can be read on dedicated e-reader devices, but also on any computer device that features a controllable viewing screen, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
