Information technology for supply chain performance: a mediated covariance modelling based on the Dynamic Capabilities Theory

Information technology is an important supply chain innovation typology that enhances the integration of people and processes. Although, there is large body of literature on information technology, supply chain capabilities and supply chain performance, empirical studies on how innovation capability...
