| Abstract: | Supply chain information sharing (SCIS) becomes more important due to the increased vulnerability of supply chains. Implementing lean practices, increasing outsourcing, and globalization. increases vulnerability of supply chains. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to find the factors that limit and facilitate SCIS. The practical relevance of this paper is to create awareness of the limiting and facilitating factors of SCIS per tier of the supply chain. This enables them to reduce the limiting factors in their supply chain and increase the quality, and quantity of shared information within their supply chain. The Method: Based on the structured literature research the theoretical framework is constructed. This theoretical framework is tested in a case study. The main findings of the research are that SCIS has a positive effect on the performance in the supply chain. Moreover, a key finding of this research is that the factors that limit SCIS can be divided into the four aggregate dimensions, connectivity, individual willingness, supply chain characteristics, and organizational facilitation. |
