Supply Chain Integration (SCI), Supply chain management practices (SCMP), Supply Chain Performance (SCP), Customer Relationship, Information-sharingAbstract
A growing institutional framework concerning Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry supply chain integration and supply chain management practices is significant for supply chain performance. Utilizing data from 171 pharmaceutical industry employees, a quantitative approach is employed to explore connections between SCMP, SCI, and SCP. The results also demonstrate significant positive correlations between certain SCMPs and SCP. Additionally, supply chain integration is identified as a crucial mediator, underscoring achieving integration within the supply chain to bolster performance. The study offers valuable insights for practitioners aiming to enhance the supply chain, stressing comprehensive SCMP and improved SCI.
