In this study, it draws on the concept of social capitals to explore the relational underpinnings of joint learning in buyer–supplier relationships. Using data collected from suppliers of high-technology industries in Taiwan, this study examined the relationships both among the structural, relational, and cognitive dimensions of social capital and between those dimensions and the joint learning and innovation. A sample of 208 buyer–supplier relationships is used to test the model. The results show that social interaction, a manifestation of the structural dimension of social capital, is positively related to trust, that trust is positively related to shared values, that social interaction is positively related to joint learning, and that shared values is positively related to joint learning, which in turn has a significant effect on innovation performance.
