Some scholars notice that if firms can integrate its suppliers, customers and cross functional team, it would help NPD become success. Prior study also have proved higher level of collaborate competence will make supply chain performance higher. In fact, information technology is much more important to information-related industry than before. But it is relatively little attention to discuss the relationship between collaborate competence e-integration and supply chain flexible performance. Furthermore, supply chain studies also have found that flexibility of supply chain will be the most strategic weapon in century21.

We expect our study can make company realize the benefit of firm's collaborate competence and e-integration.
