The role of e-supply chain collaboration in collaborative innovation and value-co creation

The present study examines the relationships between e-supply chain collaboration, collaborative innovation, supply chain agility, and value co-creation. The empirical data was collected from essential industries and analysed using the Smart-PLS-SEM approach. The sample consisted of 221 participants from different managerial levels. The findings show that e-supply chain collaboration has a significant impact on collaborative innovation, supply chain agility, and value co-creation. They also show that collaborative innovation and corporate sustainability significantly impact value co-creation. These findings provide valuable contributions in the fields of e-supply chain collaboration, supply chain management, collaborative innovation, and dynamic capabilities theory as it applies to responses to unprecedented worldwide emergencies and crises.
