In today's changing conditions, supply chain provides firms with advantages in many aspects such as cost, speed and quality. In this respect, the investigation of the factors that increase supply chain performance presents important findings to both the literature and practitioners. The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between information sharing, absorptive capacity, supply chain innovativeness, and supply chain performance. For this purpose, data were collected from 194 middle and senior managers in firms in Kocaeli through questionnaires. As a result of the analyzes carried out with the AMOS program, it has been determined that information sharing is positively associated with absorptive capacity, but not with supply chain innovativeness. It is also concluded that absorptive capacity is positively related to supply chain innovativeness and supply chain innovativeness is positively related to supply chain performance.

Tedarik zinciri, günümüz değişen koşullarında firmalara maliyet, hız ve kalite gibi pek çok açıdan avantaj sağlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda tedarik zinciri performansını artıran unsurların araştırılması hem literatüre hem de uygulayıcılara önemli bulgular sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı bilgi paylaşımı, özümseme kapasitesi, tedarik zinciri yenilikçiliği ve tedarik zinciri performansı arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Bu amaçla, Kocaeli’nde faaliyette bulunan firmalardaki 194 orta ve üst düzey yöneticiden anket yoluyla veri toplanmıştır. AMOS programı ile gerçekleştirilen analizler neticesinde, bilgi paylaşımının özümseme kapasitesi ile pozitif ilişkili olduğu ancak tedarik zinciri yenilikçiliği ile ilişkisinin bulunmadığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca özümseme kapasitesinin tedarik zinciri yenilikçiliği ile ve tedarik zinciri yenilikçiliğinin de tedarik zinciri performansı ile pozitif ilişkili olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
