Purpose

This study views Net-Zero as a dynamic capability for decarbonising supply chains (SCs). This study aims to investigate the relationship between three information processing-related capabilities (supply chain visibility [SCV], supply chain integration [SCI] and big data analytics [BDA]) as its antecedents and SC performance as its competitive advantage outcome.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conceptualise a research model grounded in the literature based on dynamic capabilities and information processing views. The study uses a structural equation modelling technique to test the hypotheses’ relationship using the survey data from 311 industrial enterprises.

Findings

The results show that SCI and BDA positively and directly influence the Net-Zero capability (NZC). No significant direct impact is found between SCV and NZC. BDA fully mediates SCV and partially mediates SCI in their relationship with NZC. The results also confirm that NZC positively impacts SC performance (SCP).

Originality/value

This study contributes to operations management and SC literature by extending the knowledge about Net-Zero SCs through an empirical investigation. In particular, the study suggests BDA is essential to enhance NZC as SCV alone does not significantly contribute. The study also documents the benefit of NZC on SCP, which can encourage more volunteer actions in the industry.

信息处理能力、净零能力与供应链绩效之间的关系

目的

本研究将净零视为供应链（SC）脱碳的动态能力。本研究旨在调查三种信息处理相关能力（供应链可视性 [SCV]、供应链集成 [SCI] 和大数据分析 [BDA]）作为其前因，与 SC 绩效作为其竞争优势结果之间的关系。

设计/方法论/途径

作者基于动态能力和信息处理观点，以文献为基础概念化了一个研究模型。该研究采用结构方程建模技术，利用 311 家工业企业的调查数据来检验假设的关系。

发现

结果表明，SCI 和 BDA 对净零能力（NZC）有积极且直接的影响。SCV 和 NZC 之间没有发现显着的直接影响。在与 NZC 的关系中，BDA 完全介导 SCV，部分介导 SCI。结果还证实 NZC 对 SC 性能 (SCP) 产生积极影响。

原创性/价值

本研究通过实证调查扩展了有关净零供应链的知识，为运营管理和供应链文献做出了贡献。特别是，该研究表明 BDA 对于增强 NZC 至关重要，因为单独的 SCV 并没有显着的作用。该研究还记录了 NZC 对 SCP 的好处，这可以鼓励该行业更多的志愿者行动。
