Abstract

In this paper we develop a number of hypotheses relating four purchasing capabilities to two measures of purchasing' contribution to innovation. The hypotheses are tested with data collected through a web survey completed by 321 purchasing professionals in Danish production companies. Our results show that integrative, relational, innovative and intelligence capabilities are positively related to innovation. However, relational capabilities are not found to have significant effect on purchasing' contribution to supply and practice innovation, i.e., new markets, new suppliers and new purchasing practices. The relationship between intelligence capabilities and purchasing' contribution to product and production innovations depends on the level of innovation capabilities.
