For instance, it has been argued that there is a need for a suitable internal environment for innovation that can improve the chain of innovation linking innovativeness of partners in the supply chain with innovation strategy of the focal firm. In the next step, the right external climate can be set by establishing a strategic relation with partners in the supply chain to get innovative ideas. Lack of a cooperative environment cannot result in effective knowledge sharing with the partners in the network. This research study is unique in the sense that it complements the innovation chain with climate chain. Additions are made to the current knowledge by this study through the extension of the fact that value chains and SC for understanding the process of innovation chains. It is revealed through PIS that there is a positive influence on the performance of product innovation. There is a need to blend the internal climate for innovation and the external efforts with important suppliers to tap innovative ideas.
