Abstract:
Industry 5.0 combines human creativity with forward-thinking
digitalization in manufacturing, yet digital learning in arts and crafts
supply chain management (SCM) remains underexplored. This study
aims to conceptually explore how integrating communal sharing with
digital learning among employees, utilizing tools like mobile
applications (Mapp) can enhance mobile SCM in arts and crafts. Using
a conceptual methodology involving literature synthesis and proposition
development, the study identifies key mechanisms through which
communal sharing and digital learning can foster employee creativity
and organizational innovation. It develops a digital learning model and
proposes pathways for fostering creativity through inter-organizational
information systems. The findings highlight benefits such as enhanced
trust, collaboration, and information sharing, bolstered trading partner
capabilities, data-driven insights, and creativity through collaborative
ideation. This exploratory study navigates inter-organizational
relationship dynamics among arts and crafts employees to elucidate how
digital learning can optimize mobile application SCM in Industry 5.0. It
contributes by introducing an integrated communal sharing and digital
learning approach, underscoring their synergistic effects on arts and
crafts SCM in the digital age. The study concludes with a conceptual
model, practical implications and future empirical research directions.
