Future research should address the issue of how deep the integration should go. Information exchanges and collaborative efforts could extend to second and third tier suppliers, however we do not know if those efforts would result in significant differences in operational performance. Further, the role of manufacturing process capability remains to be explored. For example, it is conceivable that manufacturing process flexibility is another mediating variable for eBusiness capability. Research could also explore the differences between SMEs and large firms in the relationships between eBusiness capabilities and production information integration. There are many opportunities for future research in this area.
