One technique is the integrated supply chain. However, this process has not met with success for all companies, leading some managers to consider the appropriateness of an integrated supply chain. This dearth of success could be attributed to the lack of scholarship to guide managers in their efforts to formulate and then implement their integrated supply chain strategies. In an effort to fill this gap, our paper draws on resource dependency theory and the realities of ever-increasing information technology sophistication as enablers of successful supply chain integration, resulting in the creation of our model to guide managers throughout this process. Through a Web-based survey, 329 responses were collected and analyzed through a structural equation modeling technique using LISREL to confirm the relationships in the model.10aManagement10aStrategy & Entrepreneurship1 aSakaguchi, T.1 aNicovich, S.1 aDibrell, Clay  u/biblio/empirical-evaluation-integrated-supply-chain-model-small-and-medium-sized-firms00498nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005200041210005200093260002100145653001500166653003200181100001800213700001800231700001700249856008600266       2002                        eng d00aDevelopment of an integrated supply chain model0 aDevelopment of an integrated supply chain model  aDallas, TXc200210aManagement10aStrategy & Entrepreneurship1 aDibrell, Clay1 aSakaguchi, T.1 aNicovich, S.  u/biblio/development-integrated-supply-chain-model00525nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005900041210005800100260002100158653001500179653003200194100001800226700002100244700001800265856009600283       2001                        eng d00aGlobal integrated supply chain: A theoretical typology0 aGlobal integrated supply chain A theoretical typology  aDallas, TXc200110aManagement10aStrategy & Entrepreneurship1 aDibrell, Clay1 aNicovich, Stefan1 aSakaguchi, T.  u/biblio/global-integrated-supply-chain-theoretical-typology
