Abstract

Purpose- Main goal
of this paper is to perform an exploratory and empirical research on the
interactions of collaboration and innovation elements that are presented in the
literature; co-creation, service dominant logic, open innovation, negative
entropy and entrepreneurship orientation. Moreover, this study aims to examine
the effects of these elements on supply chain performance attributes
(reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, costs and asset management).

Methodology- In order to
understand the effects of innovative and collaborative dynamics on supply chain
performance, prominent logistics service providers and firms with officially
approved R&D departments were surveyed.

Findings- This study
provides evidence on strong relationships between supply chain performance and
co-creation, SDL, and open innovation. One of the findings that grabs our
attention is the remarkable effect of negative entropy on co-creation, SDL and
open innovation. Moreover, according to results, negative entropy has the
highest individual effect on supply chain performance in comparison with other
collaboration and innovation elements.

Conclusion-  This paper highlights the importance of
innovative and collaborative dynamics in supply chain performance measurements.
This research also provides evidence to supply chain performance literature by
suggesting negative entropy as a powerful instrument of integration and
preservation in supply chains. 

Keywords
