This editorial introduces the special topic forum on "innovations in
business networks from a supply chain perspective." Additionally, it
highlights the gap between the importance attributed by practice and the
current state of academic research focusing on the confluence of
innovation and supply chain perspectives. By specifically assessing the
current status of research as well as practice, this paper not only
identifies the key issues in current research and proposes an agenda for
future research, but also points out the challenges that scholars will
encounter in pursuing the proposed research agenda. [PUBLICATION
