Abstract
The main objective of the research is to examine the relationship between supply chain collaboration and supply chain innovation as well as the moderating role of information sharing on the relationship. Specifically, the study sought to: examine the relationship between supply chain collaboration and supply chain innovation in manufacturing firms, examine the moderating role of information sharing on the relationship between supply chain collaboration and supply chain innovation in some selected manufacturing firms. Survey data, descriptive research design and quantitative approach were used. Simple random sampling techniques were used to gather data from the relevant respondents. SPSS and Hayes Process Model were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that interdependent of supply chain knowledge, supply chain collaboration and supply chain partnership insight have positive and significant link with supply chain innovation. The findings also revealed that supply chain partnership insight has a positive and significant link with supply chain innovation. However, there is no positive and significant link between interdependent of knowledge and supply chain collaboration level. It was further revealed in the study that information sharing does not moderates the relationship between supply chain collaboration (interdependent of knowledge, supply chain collaboration level and supply chain partnership insight) and supply chain innovation. Future studies can consider a comparative study to determine which industry has collaboration in supply chain innovation so that they can be used as benchmark for others to emulate.
