Through analyzing two failure M&A cases which involve supply chains integration between Daimler-Benz with Chrysler (in automotive industry) and between Newell and Rubbermaid (in household product industry), the paper points out that one of the causes which led these deals to failure is the lack of thorough consideration on the role and strategies in integrating supply chain networks. This is the main implication of the paper for further researches to find the solutions for effective supply chain integration both in theory and reality.
