However, most of related research only discusses the network relationship between enterprise and their partners. Only few researchers discuss collaboration capability in the partnership, and it still lacks a complete constructive explanation. Based on the research gap above, this study brings up four main aspects influencing collaboration capability - partnership orientation, customer linking capability, communication behavior and coordination activity.
