Abstract

The facilitating impact of supply chain collaboration on enterprise eco-innovation has been acknowledged both in practice and academia. This study aims to explore the impact of supply chain collaboration through devising a conceptualized model and using questionnaire data to test the hypothetical models. The results reveals that both supply chain collaboration and collaborative innovation capability are positively associated with eco-innovation while the latter one mediates the effect of the former one; internal R&D strengthen the relationship between supply chain collaboration and firm eco-innovation; the mediation effect of collaborative innovation capability is moderated by internal R&D with lower internal R&D group of enterprises indicating higher dependence on the mediation instrument.
