Abstract
Nowadays, the importance of supply chain management and its effect on business performance is undeniable. Boosting competitive environment makes every single firm adopt an assignable supply chain strategy. This study is one of the rare practical researches that recognize key factors related to the application of a successful and efficient supply chain strategy. So far, many researchers have conducted studies on responsive supply chain strategy; but in this study, it is sought to focus on efficient supply chain strategies due to increasing need for organizations to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. Structural equation modelling using SmartPLS software is used to examine the research assumptions. Analysis of the structural model showed that there is a positive relationship between implementation of efficient supply chain strategy with supply chain performance; therefore the main research hypothesis is confirmed. Research revealed internal integration, top management support and information technology as efficient supply chain characteristics that have positive effects on supply chain performance. To reduce costs of implementation of efficient supply chain strategy, it is necessary to invest in factors that influence supply chain performance positively.

Summary
A special paradigm should be considered in the modern business management: businesses which don’t operate individually might be more successful in competition with other organizations, since the business management has entered into the internetwork era. Supply chains have become the major and dominant paradigm of business and competition (Amoozad Mahdiraji et al, 2014). The problem is no longer the competition of. A supply chain can be defined as “a process with a complete set of activities wherein raw materials are transformed into final products, delivered to customers by distribution, logistics, and retail” (Yazdani et al, 2017). A successful supply chain requires coordination and coherence between different operations, while most organizations concluded that it is necessary to apply different strategies to establish efficient supply chains (Lambert & Cooper, 2000)
