Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to explore the relationships between web-based Demand Chain Management (DCM) integration, externally-driven flexibilities, and perceived customer value. Specifically, we address the significance of web-based DCM integration in externally-driven flexibilities in our theoretical model. Similarly, we examine the potential impact of externally-driven flexibilities on perceived customer value.
