| Summary: | The construction industry constantly evolves, and innovation is critical to staying ahead. This study identifies effective strategies for achieving innovation capability and competence through supply chain collaboration. This research is crucial to the dynamic or adaptive capabilities theory, linking supply chain and dynamic or adaptive capabilities and identifying the factors that affect the relationship between supply chain collaboration and innovation capability. For the research, 351 construction industry members were surveyed using a quantitative methodology, and the data was analysed using Structured Equation Modelling (SEM). Nine hypotheses were tested on the correlation between supply chain partnerships, innovation capability, supplier involvement in new product development, supply chain competence, and absorptive capacity. The resulting data suggest that strategic partnerships with supply chain partners improve innovation capability and supply chain competence. Supplier involvement in new product development also positively affects supply chain competence. Supply chain competence positively correlates with innovation capability and mediates the relationship between supply chain partnerships and innovation capability. However, absorptive capacity does not moderate either of these relationships. The construction industry must recognise the importance of innovation, collaboration, and supply chain competence to stay competitive. The study's insights guide improving innovation capability and staying ahead of the competition. |
