Abstract
In a dynamic global business-to-business (B2B) environment, innovation and marketing appear crucial to
providing supplier firms' positional advantage through the ability to create value for customers. Our examination
is grounded in seeking to address the research question: To what extent is the creation of superior
performance, relationship, and co-creation value driven by market orientation, product innovation and marketing
capabilities in B2B firms? The results of a survey of 155 large B2B firms show product innovation capability
and marketing capability partially mediates the relationship between a firms' market orientation and
its ability to create value (performance and co-creation), except for the role of marketing capability which we
found acted as a full mediator of the relationship between market orientation and relationship value.
