    (Continuity & Resilience Review, 2023) Muhwezi, Moses; Mutebi, Henry; Tukamuhabwa, Benjamin; Mayanja, Samuel S.; Izimba Kasiko, Isabella; Balunywa, Rashid
    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.
