“…Innovativeness assists supply chain managers to foster the development of information and progressive technologies using innovative operations to heighten efficiency and service effectiveness (Bello et al, 2004). Innovativeness is one of the strongest means for transforming an organisation as a response to internal or external environmental changes (Hult et al, 2004).…”

Dong-Wook Kwak Coventry Business SchoolPurpose: Innovativeness is an accepted driver to leverage firm performance. Supply chain integration (SCI) and supply chain performance (SCP) require innovativeness in the supply chain, but their interrelationships have rarely been researched empirically. This paper investigates the impact of innovativeness on SCI and SCP and the role of SCI in mediating between innovativeness in the supply chain and SCP.Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire survey and structural equation modelling were employed in this work. After a structural and measurement model was devised from existing supply chain literature, the main data were collected in a web-based questionnaire survey of South Korean manufacturers. Structural equation modelling was applied to test proposed hypotheses on the associations between variables, following a hierarchical analysis process.Findings: Innovativeness in the supply chain had a positive impact on both SCI and SCP. However, the direct impact of innovativeness on SCP disappeared when the model included SCI as a mediator. In specific, internal and supplier integration fully mediated innovativeness-SCP relationships, whereas customer integration had no mediating role on those relationships. The findings suggest that innovativeness can influence SCP only when the manufacturer's level of SCI is sufficiently effective in developing necessary supply chain practices. Research limitations/implications:In this work innovativeness in the supply chain effectively influenced SCP through the mediation of SCI. However, cross-sectional analysis in one nation using one response per organisation invites validation embracing other geographical areas and longitudinal studies. Practical implications:Design of an innovative culture within a firm and along a supply chain can enhance SCI practices by stimulating innovativeness. A high level of SCI should be pursued to effectively transform innovativeness into performance.Originality/value: This work seminally examines the effect of innovativeness in the supply chain on SCI and SCP as well as the mediating role of SCI in the relationships between innovativeness and SCP.

“…In the industrial marketing management field, studies have also shown in various ways how institutions shape the rules of exchange (Bello et al, 2004); structural market change dynamics (Hingley, 2005a), business network systems (Lindgreen & Wynstra, 2005;Lukkari & Parvinen, 2008), family institutional logics (Jansson, Johanson & Ramström, 2007) and guanxi traditions and systems in emerging markets (Zhuang, Alex & Tsang, 2010). This work brings out power as both an explicit and implicit property of institutions.…”

Research Highlights:• Demonstrates how power is a property of institutional maintenance work.• Recognizes the significance of temporary industrial workshop settings for maintaining power.• Provides insights into how the work of institutional maintenance 'bears down' on buyer and seller exchanges.• Elucidates priming work activity and pressure specialist mechanisms for legitimation or relegitimation of roles and expectations.• Shows power intensification in the instituting and normalizing of distinct in-group market rules. 4Institutional maintenance work and power preservation in business exchanges: Insights from industrial supplier workshops Abstract This paper aims to offer new theoretical and empirical insights into power dynamics in an industrial supplier workshop setting. Theoretically, it advances an institutional perspective on supplier workshops as an important venue in managing, preserving and instituting industrial market power. Based on a detailed ethnographic analysis of an industrial workshop setting, this article investigates the institutional maintenance work of Retail Co. in preserving the power dynamics of market dominance in business exchanges and market structures. Our findings revealed three previously unreported insights into the subtle, but nonetheless pervasive power from institutional maintenance work in an industrial workshop setting. First, the institutional workshop work comprised a cultural performance; constituting socialization practice through a performance game, the power of numbers in field comprehension and an award ceremony. Second, the institutional workshop work mobilized projective agency, stipulating, directing and appealing for the instituting of distinct market rules and collective identities. Finally, the institutional workshop work increases supplier docility and utility via the regulative technologies-of-the-self to enhance business planning, operations and market decision-making practice, without necessarily being seen to be disciplinarian.

(revenue, cost savings, etc.)However, supply chain innovation is a must therefore for the following reasons: (a) for gaining competitive edge in the market (b) for managing the different types of risks prevailing in the supply chain (Wagner, Bode 2006) and (c) for meeting proactively the different forms of uncer tainties in the adjoining environment. But for developing innovative supply chains, firms must ascertain its various logistics capabilities and align them in an appropriate manner. As logistics are an essential part of supply chain (Mentzer et al. 2004 Abstract. Supply chains need to innovate constantly for maintaining their position in the marketplace and also to fight un certainties. Hence firms are focusing on strategies for developing supply chain innovation. The current investigation adds to this emerging regime through investigating the influence of logistics capabilities viz. demand management capability, supply management capability, information management capability and coordination capability on supply chain innovation through logistics integration. Further, supply chain innovation helps a firm to sustain its position in the market place through generation and launching of new products and services. Accordingly, the influence of supply chain innovation on firm performance is also investigated. Data is collected from logistics, purchasing and supply chain professionals working in different industries in India.The findings based on 169 responses largely support our proposed relationships.
