Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jbl12044-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The learning process between supply chain entities is explored from the perspective of senior third‐party executives. Through grounded theory, a theoretical framework emerged that extends our understanding of learning within a supply chain by identifying the major constructs and learning stages comprising the basic social process of inter‐organizational learning. This framework provides significant insights into the complex process employed in a supply chain to share, disseminate, and store information; co‐create knowledge; and to derive a competitive advantage.</p> </abstract>
