A set of theoretical propositions are developed. A case study of a computer manufacturer's supply chain was conducted to examine their validity.

Effective integration of both purchasing and marketing functions are central to effective value creation and alignment of an organization with its business environment. Rapidly changing environments create gaps in the value creation process that compromise the delivery of value to the customer and risk misalignment of value propositions to their needs. Despite the clear imperative for research in this area, the extant literature is partial and delivers limited coherence. Ours is a theoretical article that—in drawing on previous literature—introduces the new work collected in this special issue and considers this against our own empirical evidence. We present a framework that maps out the landscape of internal organizational integration with a particular emphasis on purchasing and marketing integration. Implications for theory and managers are explored.
