The effect of leagile supply chain on supply chain performance: the moderating role of information sharing

Presently, organizations seek continuous improvement in Supply Chain Performance (SCP). While the supply chain performance (SCP) of an organization can be continuously enhanced, the Supply Chain Strategy (SCS) is becoming more complex due to changing customer needs. Based on the existing literature,...
