Summary: This research examines the role of supply chain integration in moderating the relationship between servitization and performance. Drawing on the resource-based view and transaction cost economics, the study identifies the benefits and disadvantages of supply chain integration in the context of servitization. The findings, based on international survey data from 931 manufacturing business units, indicate that basic services are positively associated with sales growth, while advanced services are positively associated with return on sales (ROS) growth. The results also show that supplier integration strengthens the relationship between basic services and sales growth, while customer integration strengthens the relationship between advanced services and ROS growth but weakens the relationship between basic services and ROS growth. These findings highlight the importance of aligning supplier and customer integration with different types of services to maximize the benefits of servitization.

Summary: This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of environmental uncertainty on competitive advantage, exploring the mediating roles of supply chain integration and supply chain agility. The findings indicate that environmental uncertainty has a direct, significant, and positive impact on competitive advantage. Additionally, supply chain integration and supply chain agility partially mediate the relationship between environmental uncertainty and competitive advantage. The study suggests that companies can enhance their supply chain agility capabilities by developing integrated structures with their supply chain partners, thus gaining a unique competitive advantage.

Summary: This study investigates the changes and interactions of the social and technical subsystems of a platform ecosystem in the context of advanced services. The study finds that manufacturers' decisions affect the range of services they can offer, the complexity of service transformation poses a risk to the success of servitization, and manufacturers can operate across multiple structural boundaries simultaneously.
