Abstract

Power is a central element and salient research topic within supply chain management, and it is also regarded as a key attribute influencing innovation in the supply chain. However, there are still disputes about the consequences of power and whether it should be used. Given this, we examine the relationship between power and innovation, and attempt to explore how to use power to improve innovation performance. In order to better understand power and its influence, we distinguish between possessed and realized power. Using the panel data collected in the Chinese high-technology companies (2014–2018) and controlling for contingencies, we found that there are positive relationships between possessed power and exploitation, exploration, especially the collaborative innovation of them, and these relationships are negatively moderated by financial slack. Surprisingly, we find inverted U-shaped relationships between realized power and exploitative, explorative and collaborative innovation. That is, the excessive use of power begins to show diminishing innovation returns. These findings offer new insights into power and its use in supply chain relationships by distinguishing possessed and realized power, and enrich the literature on supply chain management and innovation.

使用还是不使用?拥有权力和实现权力对创新的作用
权力是供应链管理的核心要素和重要研究课题,也是影响供应链创新的关键属性。然而,关于权力的后果以及是否应该使用权力,仍然存在争议。在此基础上,本文考察了权力与创新的关系,并试图探讨如何利用权力提高创新绩效。为了更好地理解权力及其影响,我们区分了拥有的权力和实现的权力。利用2014-2018年中国高新技术企业的面板数据,在控制了偶然性的情况下,我们发现拥有权力与企业的开发、探索,尤其是协同创新之间存在正相关关系,并且这些关系受到财务宽松的负向调节。令人惊讶的是,我们发现实现的权力与剥削性、探索性和协作性创新之间存在倒u型关系。也就是说,权力的过度使用开始显示出创新回报的递减。这些发现通过区分拥有和实现的权力,为权力及其在供应链关系中的运用提供了新的见解,丰富了供应链管理和创新的文献。
