Open supply chain innovation: an extended view on supply chain collaboration

Sam Solaimani, Jack A.A. van der Veen · 2021 · Supply Chain Management An International Journal

Summary. This paper develops a framework for fostering innovation in supply chains through collaboration between firms and their partners. The authors identify three key capabilities—purpose (balancing exploration and exploitation of knowledge), span (horizontal and vertical partnerships), and orientation (incremental and radical innovation)—that enable supply chains to innovate more effectively. The framework integrates open innovation and supply chain collaboration concepts to show how firms can leverage external relationships to drive continuous innovation.
