The purpose of this is to test the relationship between corporate environmental strategies (CES) and firms’ competitiveness (FC) through collaboration.

Selected companies from Ghana Club 100 were used as the sample for this study. This study used regression to test the hypothesized paths.

The results indicated that a unit change in CES results in a 42.7% alteration in FC – all things being equal. Also, as revealed by the study, supply chain collaboration (SCC) is not a significant predictor of FC. However, SCC plays an indirect role in enhancing the relationship between CES and FC. The results showed that CES act as a significant predictor of a company’s collaboration in its supply chain.

The findings will enlighten firms to outline and implement appropriate environmental strategies to sustain their competitive advantage.

This study is very rare in the African context; hence, it adds to the extant literature by providing a contemporary perspective of CES and FC.

In today’s highly competitive milieu, many organizations are entering into the international market to gain greater share and take advantage of higher production. However, the introduction of advanced technology has brought a significant amount of competition within the supply chain especially within the bounds of the power distribution sector. This study aims to examine how information and knowledge sharing influence supply chain performance in the power distribution sector.

The quantitative method and cross-sectional survey design were used in the study. A sample of 200 officers specifically selected from power distribution companies was used for the study. Data was analysed using descriptive, correlation, regression and structural equation models.

The relationship between information sharing, knowledge sharing and performance of the supply chain are positively mediated by supply chain collaboration. The findings indicate that technological innovation positively moderates the relationship between information sharing, knowledge sharing and supply chain performance.

Information sharing, knowledge sharing and technological innovation are critical indicators driving the supply chain operation of power distribution organizations.

This study presents a contemporary approach towards understanding knowledge and information sharing as antecedents of supply chain performance.
