BENEFITING FROM SUPPLIER OPERATIONAL INNOVATIVENESS: THE INFLUENCE OF SUPPLIER EVALUATIONS AND ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY

Arash Azadegan · 2011 · Journal of Supply Chain Management

Summary. Manufacturers benefit from suppliers' operational innovations, but capturing this value requires two strategies: evaluating supplier performance and developing absorptive capacity to learn from suppliers.

Supplier evaluation and learning capacity work together to unlock innovation value.
