Abstract
Supplier-supplier collaboration has become an important concept for improving supply chain performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate its impacts on firm performance. The results indicate that supplier-manufacture collaboration and logistics service capability are positively associated with firm performance, but supplier-supplier collaboration will not directly influence firm performance. However, supplier-supplier collaboration will impact on firm performance in-directly through logistics service capability of the third party logistics provider.
