The Effect of Supply Chain Absorptive Capacity on Customization, Product Innovation and Business Performance

چکیده
This paper investigates the effects of supply chain absorptive capacity on customization, production innovation, and in turn, business performance. Building upon the organization and strategy literature, we constructed multi-item measurement scales that tap into five dimensions of absorptive capacity, which were adapted to supply chain management context. Using survey-based data gathered from 174 U.S. supply chain managers, we applied structural equation modeling to assess the influence of supply chain absorptive capacity on business performance and provide empirical insights regarding the mediating role of customization and product innovation capabilities between absorptive capacity and business performance. Our study provides empirical insights that the construct of absorptive capacity is relevant to supply chain management research and practice.
