Abstract Based on the data collected from 310 manufacturing companies in Chinese supply chains this study finds that the bilateral deconstruction of the inter-organizational collaboration facilitates the supply chain electronic integration. Results indicate that collaboration willingness and joint improvement performance can promote the SCEI capacity. This paper specifically explores into the moderating role of demand uncertainty in such relationship, shows that demand uncertainty is a moderator between joint improvement performance and SCEI capacity, but has no significant impact on the relationship between cooperation willingness and SCEI capacity. It also indicates that intra-organizational IT can enhance the supply chain performance as a moderator with SCEI capacity. The paper illustrates the applicability of the resource-based view (RBV) and competence-based theory to the contemporary era of IT in supply chain, making a systematic study on the driving factors of SCEI ability and its influence on supply chain performance. The findings provide significant managerial implications for supply chain practitioners and managers, in an attempt to shift their vision from inter-organizational IT investment to the improvement of SCEI capacity.
