How does supply chain learning influence supply chain innovation performance? A survey based on strategy-structure-capabilities-performance perspective

Supply chain learning is a key factor influencing supply chain innovation performance, but the path between them is unclear. This research introduced a strategy-structure-capability-performance (SSCP) framework to explore the mechanism through which supply chain learning as a firm's strategy to improve supply chain innovation performance. Based on the questionnaire survey data of 303 Chinese machinery manufacturing firms, we established a structural equation model to verify our hypothesis. The results show that implementing a supply chain learning strategy is conducive to promoting the accumulation of social capital of supply chain partners to form dynamic supply chain capability, thereby improving supply chain innovation performance. This study will also provide theoretical extensions and empirical evidence for supply chain innovation management.
