Description
The purpose of this study is to analyse a preliminary data through the descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and reliability test. The analysis is based on a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey from a total of 135 Malaysian SMEs’ manufacturing companies. This analysis reveals a good result of EFA, and reliability test. The most critical limitation of this study is its narrow focused on the manufacturing sector in Malaysian SMEs, thus, preventing the generalisation to other sectors and also to other countries that may gain the benefits from the responsiveness of both capabilities and levels of supply chain integration. Also, this study may contribute to the body of knowledge by providing new data and empirical insights into the relationship between CCC, SCOC, levels of supply chain integration, and business performance in Malaysian SMEs.
