Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effect of information sharing and logistics practices on the supply chain performances of firms. To achieve the objective, the study targeted the supply chain practices of some companies operating in Ethiopia. Data were collected from 452 respondents including employees, suppliers, and distributors of the companies under study. The specified objective and proposed hypotheses in this study were tested by structural equation modelling (SEM). The result shows that the higher information sharing the better logistic management, which in turn leads to a greater supply chain performance of firms. The study concludes that information sharing has both direct and indirect effects on the supply chain performances, whereas logistics practices have a direct effect on the supply chain performance. Generally, the results theoretically and practically allow the companies and industries to recognise the significant effects of information sharing and logistics practices.
