Purpose

This study aims to explore the impact of enterprise blockchain capabilities (BCC) on inter-enterprise collaboration, supply chain resilience and innovation and further reveal the key role of blockchain technology (BCT) in supply chain management (SCM).

Design/methodology/approach

606 enterprises were investigated. AMOS structural equation model combined with artificial neural network (ANN) was used to analyze the mechanism of enterprise blockchain capability between collaboration (joint knowledge creation, communication, and coordination, resource sharing) and supply chain flexibility (SCF) and innovation, and the moderating role of BCC was also discussed.

Findings

Blockchain competency (BCC) significantly improves the efficiency of collaboration between enterprises, thereby enhancing the flexibility and innovation of the supply chain (SC), while improving the transparency and traceability of SCM. In addition, BCC plays an important role in the moderating role between collaboration and SC performance (flexibility vs innovation).

Originality/value

Combines AMOS and ANN analysis methods for the first time, systematically verifies the key role of BCC, expands the research scope of resource-based theory (RBT) and enterprise dynamic capability theory (DCT) and provides a new theoretical framework and empirical support for supply chain collaboration (SCC) and technology application research.
