2. Literature review
Innovation is defined as the application of new ideas, processes, products, or procedures that benefit the individual, the group, or the society (West and Farr, 1990). Porter (1990) suggest that innovation is imperative to achieve competitive advantage and organizational sustainability. Also innovation is important for handling complex and often conflicting goals in the healthcare industry. Recently, SCM has drawn significant attention in the healthcare industry because of its significant impact on hospital performance in terms of reducing waste, preventing medical errors, improving quality of care and service, and increasing operational efficiencies (Schneller and Smeltzer, 2006; Kowalski, 2009; Shih et al., 2009). Healthcare SCM presents the flow of information, funds, and goods and services (Jacobs and Chase, 2010). SCM is referred to as “the collaborative effort of multiple channel members to design, implement, and manage seamless value-added processes to meet the real needs of the end customer” (Fawcett and Magnan, 2001). SCM is concerned with “improving both efficiency (i.e., cost reduction) and effectiveness (i.e., customer service) in a strategic context to obtain competitive advantage that ultimately brings profitability” (Mentzer et al., 2001). Also, the Institute for Supply Management (n.d.) defined SCM as “the design and management of seamless, value-added processes across organizational boundaries to meet the real needs of the end customer”. It can mean that increased efficiency and effectiveness strive to improve organizational performance. The goal of SCM is to achieve short-term and long-term objectives by facilitating efficient and effective information flow; the short-term objective is to increase productivity and reduce delivery time while the long-term objective is to increase customer satisfaction, market share, competitive advantage, and organizational performance (Chan et al., 2008). SCM includes business activities and operations that integrate a continuous, seamless flow of material and services for healthcare delivery including SC value chain processes from suppliers that provide products, services, and information to patients (Rivard-Royer et al., 2002; Shih et al., 2009). 2.1. Innovation leadership Leadership is widely studied in many fields as a complex topic, and it is one of the fundamental concepts in organization theory. Leadership is the most important factor affecting innovation (Cummings and O'Connell, 1978) because innovation refers to the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization (Amabile et al., 1996; Amabile, 1998). Leadership that is focused on innovation includes transformational leadership (Elkins and Keller, 2003; Jung et al., 2003). Most organizations are engaged in innovative activities as a competitive strategy and accept innovation as an important method of organizational competitiveness and survival (Jung et al., 2003). In order for healthcare organizations to survive in the competitive environment with ever-increasing customer expectations and continuously advancing technologies, efficient leadership is necessary for the development of organizational innovation which strengthens healthcare organizations internally as well as externally. The ability of leaders to effectively lead the organization is important to the delivery of care, customer/patient satisfaction, as well as the overall success of the organization in the healthcare industry. In addition to individuals that comprise the leadership team, each person or each medical staff team within the organization has certain leadership or management skills. Each medical staff team (e.g., surgical and internal disease affairs, dental, eye care, examination, etc.) cannot only reflect leadership traits, but can also directly impact other teams and the group's overall performance.
