While nowadays’ need to enhance transparency in supply chains (TSC) seems undisputable, supply chain management (SCM) scholars and practitioners struggle to identify the determinants to enhance TSC. This contribution aims to address this need by applying a multiple case study design with 24 awarded or industry-wide good practice solutions. The study reveals 29 determinants of TSC which can be used for future studies on TSC. In addition, the study elaborates information processing theory (IPT) against the backdrop of inter-organizational contexts.
