Abstract:

In this study, the effect of supply chain integration on the SME’s (Small and Medium Sized
Enterprises) competition capability and performance is attempted to be investigated. The data is gathered from
the conducted surveys with 181 SMEs. Regression models have been built between supply chain integration
and competition capability and by building hierarchical regression models between competition ability, supply
chain integration and performance, the effects are attempted to be determined. As a result, it is found that supply
chain integration affects competition capability positively and competition capability partially affects
performance positively. It is also found that supply chain integration has very little effect on business
performance; affects only market performance positively.
Key words: Business performance, competitive capability, hierarchical regression analysis, SCM integration, SMEs, ,
