N2 - The central theme of supply chain management is integration. General System Theory provides the theoretical framework of integration, whereas information integration is the foundation of broader supply chain integration. E-business opens up communication and enlarges networking opportunities and thus tremendously affects information integration. By analyzing one recent trend of e-business, the e-hub, we explore the mechanism of information integration as well as managerial and technical limitations. Although there are many challenges, e-hubs create value by aggregating buyers and sellers, creating marketplace liquidity, and reducing transaction cost. E-hubs also provide exchange information on transportation and logistics. Therefore, E-hubs could be a crucial solution to supply chain management.
