Abstract: | This study explores how innovations surrounding supply chain communication systems (SCCS) affect channel relationships and
market performance. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, the study hypothesizes that certain SCCS innovations can
be viewed as firm resources that enhance channel capabilities, which in turn affect a firm’s market performance. The empirical
research is based on 184 responses from a survey with U.S. supply chain and logistics managers using structural equation modeling
as the analytic method. The results suggest that the effect of applied technological SCCS innovations on channel capabilities
is mediated by interfirm systems integration. In contrast, administrative SCCS innovations enhance information exchange and
coordination activities directly. Furthermore, the influence of applied technological innovations for SCCS is not strong enough
to affect either responsiveness of the partnership or firm performance, whereas administrative innovations for SCCS affect
both.
