供应商参与对新产品开发效率的影响:以知识获取为中介

Knowledge Acquisition as Mediation Variable between Supplier Involvement and New Product Development Efficiency

本文密切结合新产品开发情境,细分了新产品开发需要获取的三类知识,探讨了供应商参与对获取新产品开发所需要三类知识的影响,进而影响新产品开发效率的机理。以广东省158家企业为研究对象,应用结构方程方法实证了研究假设。结果表明,供应商参与对获取新产品开发所需的三类知识具有显著的正向影响,但是对新产品开发效率没有显著的直接影响;获取新产品开发所需的三类知识对新产品开发效率有显著的正向影响。揭示了知识获取是供应商参与影响新产品开发效率的中介变量。

This study closely based on NPD context, classifies three kinds of knowledge what NPD needs. And discusses on supplier involvement influences on NPD efficiency through obtaining three kinds of knowledge. This paper makes empirical study by SEM method using data collected from 158 companies in Guangdong province. We have found that supplier involvement has a significantly positive impact on acquiring three kinds of knowledge, but doesn＇ t have a signif- icantly direct impact on new product development efficiency. We have also found that acquiring three kinds of knowledge has a significantly positive impact on new product development efficiency. Finally, it shows the knowledge acquisition as mediation variable between supplier involvement and new product development efficiency.
