Abstract
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.
