This new operational method makes it necessary to understand which concepts are related to the collaborative context, which tools are used and what their impact on performance is, so that managers can direct their management chain decisions. The broad aim of this study is to examine the application of collaborative tools in the supply chain, and to check if managers identify performance improvements in the group of companies that apply these tools. The methodology is based on literature review and quantitative method, using the cluster analysis statistical technique. The results indicate that the group of companies with more significant collaborative features has a different perception of performance, when compared to other groups with lower level of collaborative tools implementation.Acesso RestritoArtigoE-collaborationInformation technologyIntegrationSupply chain management
