The use of electronic data interchange (EDI) and related coordination

activities among supply chain members can improve supply chain

performance. This study examines the relationship between a number of

variables relating to EDI usage and supply chain coordination activities

and several performance measures such as efficiency, productivity, and

competitiveness. Through a survey of supply chains in the food industry,

we are able to develop models that identify the most important factors

relating to EDI and successful supply chain management.

Professor Scudder holds bachelors and masters degrees in Industrial

Engineering from Purdue University and a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering

from Stanford University. He joined the Owen faculty in 1990 after

at the Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth College. His teaching and research

interests focus upon business strategy, manufacturing strategy, and the

strategic management of technology and innovation. His current research

efforts are focusing on optimizing supply chains in food distribution

and fresh produce industries and on integrating business strategy,
