| dc.description.abstract | Although supply chain innovation and big data analytics capability have drawn a lot of attention in the literature on supply chains, there is still a scarcity of research regarding the knowledge contents that play a mediating role between supply chain innovation and big data analytics capability. This study postulates that manufacturing companies that are able to apply new ideas in the face of knowledge creation tend to develop a strong supply chain that might help them to resist the effects of firm innovations as well as build a stronger hedge against future issues. The study was conducted to understand how big data analytics capability affect supply chain innovation with the mediating role of knowledge creation among multinational manufacturing companies in ghana. Based on the gaps identified in literature, a framework of four (4) hypotheses were developed. To achieve this, 250 owners and managers of manufacturing companies in ghana were sampled. A self-administered instrument was used to gather data from the 250 participants. The analyses were done using spss and smart pl-sem. The result showed that big data analytics capability has a positive significant influence on supply chain innovation and knowledge creation. The result further showed that the relationship between supply chain innovation and big data analytics capability is mediated through knowledge creation. The practical implication is that the relationship among bda, sci and kc is not a single directional relationship. | |
