The results reveal the big picture of the SCM practices in the sector and suggest that contextual factors such as size, position and bargaining power affect the adoption of SCM practices, which are also more customer oriented. Sector characteristics are very important in analysing SCM practices. Contrary to the findings of literature, the relationship between competitive priorities and SCM practices was not supported statistically. © 2011.208-222engBrazilCompetitive prioritiesContextual factorsElectro-electronic sectorSupply chain management practicesArtigo10.1016/j.iimb.2011.09.001Acesso aberto2-s2.0-848552183122-s2.0-84855218312.pdf
