Goal: The present study examines the mediating role of innovation and sustainable process management on the relationship between sustainable supply chain management and sustainable competitive advantage.
Design / Methodology / Approach: The statistical population consists of 20 companies involved in the production of banking equipment. Since the size of the statistical population is very small, structural equations model and partial least squares approach were used to analyze the research data and to test the hypotheses of the research.
Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between sustainable supply chain management and sustainable competitive advantage. Moreover, it was found that innovation and sustainable process management variables play a mediating and moderating role on the relationship between sustainable supply chain and sustainable competitive advantage.
Limitations of the investigation: The most important limitation in this study was the long-time collection of research data.
Practical implications: According to the results obtained, organizations should focus on applying the principles of sustainable process management to achieve coordination between the departments and resources of the organization.
Originality / Value: It is recommended that organizations emphasize innovative and creative activities to achieve sustainable competitive advantage through sustainable supply chain activities.
Hoy, los rápidos cambios ambientales, organizativos y tecnológicos han creado un entorno competitivo complejo para las organizaciones. La tecnología de la información es una herramienta y una estrategia para que las organizaciones interactúen con estas complejidades y cambios. El presente estudio evalúa el papel mediador de la tecnología de la información moderna en relación con la gestión del conocimiento y la ventaja competitiva sostenible. Para verificar las hipótesis, se utilizaron dos valores críticos (CR y P) sustentado en el modelo de ecuación estructural. Basado en el nivel de significancia del 5%, el valor crítico debe ser mayor que 1.96. De acuerdo, con los resultados, para todas las hipótesis de investigación, este valor fue más de 1.96 y el valor de P fue menor al 5%. Se puede concluir que la tecnología de la información y la gestión del conocimiento tienen un impacto positivo y significativo en la creación y el desarrollo de una ventaja competitiva sostenible para las organizaciones. Por ultimo, se encontró que la tecnología de la información moderna es un importante papel mediador en la relación entre la gestión del conocimiento y la ventaja competitiva sostenible.
