“…As mentioned by Fiol and Lyles (1985) that joint sense-making could be the first step prior the engaged parties exchange their knowledge. According to Ince and Çemberci (2011), joint sense-making is important for information sharing between buyers and suppliers because through joint sense-making, buyers and suppliers can collaborate across countries and understand each other. When buyers and suppliers have good collaboration, they are more likely to share information in order to achieve collective goals.…”

Purpose The relationship between buyers and suppliers over the years – social practices – facilitate the development of social capital (SC), and it contributes to the relationship performance (RP) for both parties. The purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanisms that transform SC into RP. By exercising the relationship learning (joint sense-making, information sharing, and knowledge integration), this paper proposes that SC will transform into RP. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative study was employed in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to first-tier supplier of Astra Group (Astra International) in Indonesia. In total, 211 questionnaires were used for data analysis in this study. Findings The results exhibit that cognitive and structural SC contribute to the development of relational SC. Further, relational SC was positively associated with joint sense-making, which then goes through information sharing, knowledge integration, and finally RP. Research limitations/implications The cross-sectional data in a specific context (a firm) in Indonesia serve as a major limitation of this study. The development of SC and learning as a social process might not be captured well by using the current method – surveys. Furthermore, a major problem is caused by a one-sided survey that depends on the suppliers’ perceptions and judgments of relationship learning and performance. Practical implications The results suggest that managers and other relationship actors would benefit from the competency to develop practices and activities with suppliers regarding developing trust. The trust development is facilitated by having common understanding and interactions regularly, either by participating in formal and/or informal activities with suppliers. Building consensus – joint sense-making, between buyers and suppliers are crucial practices in relationship learning before knowledge sharing and knowledge integration practices are in place. And finally, managers should actively integrate this knowledge in order to increase their RP. Originality/value This study empirically tests the supply chain practice view as a new theoretical perspective in the supply chain management literature. It also extends the utilization of social practices – SC – since it is crucial in a buyer-supplier relationship. It also presents that relationship learning is a mechanism that could transform SC into RP, and thus bridge the SC and collaborative learning theory. Finally, this study indicates that inside relational learning, there are sequences of joint sense-making-information sharing-knowledge integration, before it moves on to RP.

“…Knowledge sharing has been evidenced to have a positive relationship with performance in literature (e.g., [49]). In the same study [52] focused on knowledge sharing effect on SCP and evidenced the significance of the role of knowledge sharing in SC. Meanwhile, in [53] study, the authors examined the way knowledge sharing affects the performance of firms and found its significant influence on the latter.…”

“…Reference [36] described the supply chain as encapsulating the entire activities relating to the goods/information flow beginning from raw materials sourcing to the delivery to the end user. In the manufacturing context, manufacturers are generally critical in determining the SC goals as a result of which, they delineate the performance of supply chain.…”

This study is an attempt to resolve the issue the mediating role of knowledge sharing on supply chain performance (SCP), by considering different technological factors, in the context of SMEs in Jordan. The study specifically examined the relationship between technological factors and SCP, with the mediating role of knowledge sharing among the SMEs. The study adopted a self-administered questionnaire as a data collection technique, with which data were gathered from 371 supply chain members of various SMEs in the Jordanian industries. Data was then exposed to analysis using AMOS and SEM. The obtained findings showed support for the formulated hypothesis, in that the findings indicated the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the technological factors-SCP relationship at the significance level of 1%. The findings also showed that IT infrastructure and social media usage (technological factors) had no direct significant relationship with SCP but the technological factors had a significant positive relationship with knowledge sharing at the significance level of 1%.

“…These challenges include the provision of products or services at the right place, at the right time and at the lowest possible cost (Jagtap et al , 2021). Therefore, the aim of most organizations across the globe is not only about improving their organizational efficiencies, but to give critical attention to their entire supply chain (Ince and Çemberci, 2011). According to Gopal et al (2019), the objective of supply chain management (SCM) is to ensure the supply chain competitiveness of an organization.…”

“…According to Gopal et al (2019), the objective of supply chain management (SCM) is to ensure the supply chain competitiveness of an organization. Consequently, the understanding of effective SCM has begun to be very important for most businesses across the globe (Fawcett et al , 2007; Ince and Çemberci, 2011; Luo et al , 2013). This is because effective SCM exerts a significant impact on organizational performance (Gopal et al , 2019; Luo et al , 2013).…”

Purpose In today’s highly competitive milieu, many organizations are entering into the international market to gain greater share and take advantage of higher production. However, the introduction of advanced technology has brought a significant amount of competition within the supply chain especially within the bounds of the power distribution sector. This study aims to examine how information and knowledge sharing influence supply chain performance in the power distribution sector. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative method and cross-sectional survey design were used in the study. A sample of 200 officers specifically selected from power distribution companies was used for the study. Data was analysed using descriptive, correlation, regression and structural equation models. Findings The relationship between information sharing, knowledge sharing and performance of the supply chain are positively mediated by supply chain collaboration. The findings indicate that technological innovation positively moderates the relationship between information sharing, knowledge sharing and supply chain performance. Practical implications Information sharing, knowledge sharing and technological innovation are critical indicators driving the supply chain operation of power distribution organizations. Originality/value This study presents a contemporary approach towards understanding knowledge and information sharing as antecedents of supply chain performance.
