Collaboration in demand-driven supply chain: Based on a perspective of governance and IT-business strategic alignment

作者：

Highlights：

• Using data from a survey of IT and business executives in 209 firms, we discover that formal contract has a positive effect on supply chain collaboration through intellectual and operational alignment.

• The positive mediating effect of operational alignment is stronger under the higher degree of competition.

• The degree of competition shows a negative moderated effect on the relationship between formal contract and intellectual alignment, and a positive moderated effect on the relationship between intellectual alignment and supply chain collaboration.
