First, it extends the research on the relationship between competition and cooperation to the supply chain management area. Second, it extends the concept of competition by incorporating not only competitive intensity, but also competitive scope and competitive capability. Third, the use of a configuration approach rather than a dimensional approach to investigate the effects of competition on SCI solves many methodological problems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/imds-10-2014-0315","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,4]],"date-time":"2015-06-04T08:59:29Z","timestamp":1433408369000},"page":"923-950","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Competition and supply chain integration: a taxonomy perspective"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"Zhi","family":"Cao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baofeng","family":"Huo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiande","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122321010884000_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Amoako-Gyampah, K.
