In addition, information technology applications (ITA) also has a positive impact on innovation performance, while supply chain agility and integration mediate between the two. Supply chain agility (SCA) and supply chain integration (SCI) significantly enhance the positive impact of technology adoption on firms' innovation performance.Originality/valueThis study confirms the impact of digital technology and information technology applications on innovation performance and explores the mediating role played by supply chain agility and integration.
