ABSTRACT
Technological advancement and logistics commitment are key to the success of the connections between global companies and along the supply chain parties. While they provide critical services, each level of the network will present challenges and difficulty to all parties. This study aims to investigate the impact of technological capability and commitment to logistics integration on information sharing as well as global supply chain competitiveness. Data was collected from 177 local manufacturing firms competing in global markets. The findings indicate that commitment to logistics integration is significantly related with information sharing and global supply chain competitiveness. This study however, fails to establish a relationship between technological capability and global supply chain competitiveness. The findings also highlight information sharing as a mediator.
