Abstract

Supply chain characteristics are an important driving force for innovation at the focal firm. Previous research has separately examined the impact of structural, relational, and capability dimensions of the supply chain on firm innovation. Relying on the structure-relationship-capability framework, this study explores the configurational impact of geographical distance, business concentration, and partner innovation of both the supplier-base and the customer-base on firm innovation. Necessary causality analysis (NCA) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) are employed. Based on a dataset of 123 Chinese listed firms in high-tech manufacturing sectors, we provide novel insights on the antecedent configurations of the partner characteristics in both ends of supply chains for facilitating firm innovation. Our findings indicate that there are no necessary conditions for high firm innovation performance. We identify three distinct paths - namely, innovation-driven, customer-dominated, and relationship-driven configurations - that consistently lead to high firm innovation performance. From a configurational perspective, this research contributes to the innovation and supply chain literature and provides practical implications for managers to facilitate firm innovation.

如何配置供应链以激发企业创新绩效?
供应链特征是重点企业创新的重要驱动力。以往的研究分别考察了供应链的结构、关系和能力维度对企业创新的影响。本研究基于结构-关系-能力框架,探讨了地理距离、业务集中度以及供应商基地和客户基地的合作伙伴创新对企业创新的配置性影响。研究采用了必要因果关系分析法(NCA)和模糊集定性比较分析法(fsQCA)。基于 123 家中国高科技制造业上市公司的数据集,我们对供应链两端合作伙伴特征促进企业创新的前因配置提出了新的见解。我们的研究结果表明,企业的高创新绩效并不存在必要条件。我们确定了三条不同的路径,即创新驱动型、客户主导型和关系驱动型配置,这些配置始终能带来高企业创新绩效。从配置的角度来看,这项研究为创新和供应链文献做出了贡献,并为管理者促进企业创新提供了实际意义。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on the interface between engineering and management. It covers all aspects of manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general. The journal is interdisciplinary, considering activities throughout the product life cycle and material flow cycle. It aims to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and strengthening the theoretical base for decision making. The journal serves as a forum for exchanging ideas and presenting new developments in theory and application, combining academic standards with practical value for industrial applications.
