The Comprehensive Modeling of Informational Coordination in Supply Chain of Automotive Industry by Meta-synthesis Method

Abstract

Regarding the extended concept of coordination generally or<br />specially in supply chain contexts, we aimed to identify the coordination<br />phenomenon in this research by determination of its elements and<br />dimensions. The results of the previous researches, were analyzed by the<br />Metha-synthesis research method and when seven steps were passed, the<br />supply chain coordination in automotive industry, were categorized in 5<br />dimensions, 16 sub-dimensions and 57 elements. Finally, by using the<br />Shanon entropy method, the effect coefficient of the elements was<br />determined in 194 previous researches.
