整合供应商以获取外部资源、技术与能力是制造企业实现创新的重要途径。研究供应商整合能力对创新类型的影响及环境动态性的调节作用,通过对以往相关研究进行简要梳理和评述,建立结构方程模型并运用多元回归方法进行假设检验。结果表明,供应商整合能力对渐进式创新、突破式创新有正向影响,且更利于促进突破式创新;技术动态性负向调节供应商整合能力与渐进式创新间的关系,正向调节供应商整合能力与突破式创新间的关系;市场动态性的调节作用与技术动态性正好相反;供应基复杂性对供应商整合能力与渐进式创新间关系的调节作用不显著,但其正向调节供应商整合能力与突破式创新间的关系。
Firms can collaborate on innovation activities with suppliers to access to external resources,technology and abthty. This research propose several hypotheses regarding the role of supplier integration capabilities in innovation types through the moderating factors, namely, the environmental dynamism. In reviewing the existing literature, The relationships proposed in the framework were tested using structural equation modeling and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that supplier integration capabilities have significant positive relationship with both incremental and radical innova- tion, and the latter influence is more greater. The various aspects of environmental dynamism, including technological dyna- mism, marker dynamism and supply base complexity, lead to different moderating effect. Technological dynamism negatively and significantly moderating the link between supplier integration capabilities and incremental innovation, while positively and significantly moderating the link between supplier integration capabilities and radical innovation. Market dynamism does the opposite moderating effect. Supply base complexity only positively and significantly moderating the link between supplier integration capabilities and radical innovation. Research findings have pivotal practice implications for manufacturing enterprises to effectively integrate suppliers to innovate.
