Although supply chain collaboration is deemed to play a crucial role in the success of the garment industry, research on this topic is scarce. This paper, therefore, presents a conceptual framework to investigate how organizational and contextual factors affect supply chain collaboration as well as its impact on the firm competitive advantage in the garment industry. Underpinned by the institutional, resource-based view and relational view theories, the conceptual framework is developed from a comprehensive review of the related literature, together with hypotheses. The proposed framework is expected to enrich the literature on supply chain collaboration in a new research context. Specifically, this research is novel as it is perhaps one of the first studies which investigate the role of organizational and contextual factors as potential antecedents of supply chain collaboration in the garment industry. Future empirical validation of the framework will be conducted in the context of Vietnam as a developing country.
