Abstract: Luai Jraisat supply chain.It is through this alignment that firms create better information sharing between them.Likewise, the findings suggest that firms will be able to gain strategic advantages from supply chain management based on information sharing and its components, namely content, sharing methods, sources and value, thus suggesting that the firms should apply information sharing to improve financial and non-financial export performance.The research makes key contributions to theory and methodology, and has policy and managerial implications.Theoretical contributions are made to the supply chain management literature by providing a holistic framework for supply chain management to understand the exporter-producer relationship.The research expands on the applications of the three perspectives combined and focuses on information sharing as a key factor.Methodological contributions are offered as this research connects the qualitative methodology to the theory, enabling an analytical generalisation of supply chain management relationships by examining both sides of the dyadic relationship to guide their information sharing.This research expands more on the validity and reliability aspects to ensure the strength of this qualitative empirical research.Policy and managerial implications are addressed for managers and policy-makers.The research limitations and guidelines for future research are discussed.
