Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the influence of intellectual capital (IC) on supply chain collaboration (SCC) and business performance. Two mechanisms of SCC are considered, including interorganizational communication (IOC) and shared vision (SV). Based on knowledge-based view, this study explains how IOC and SV mediate the impact of IC on business performance. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships based on the survey data of 1008 firms in the manufacturing industry. The results demonstrate that IC promotes IOC directly and influences the establishment of SV indirectly through IOC in the supply chain context. In addition, IOC mediates the relationship between IC and business performance. This study establishes the interface between internal knowledge base and external supply chain relationships by examining IC as an antecedent for SCC, and it also contributes to knowledge management literature by revealing that the organization's knowledge resources can influence its performance through collaborative supply chain relationships.
