供应商参与技术创新的效能提升机制研究——社会资本视角

Study on the Mechanism to Enhance the Effectiveness of Supplier Involvement into Technological Innovation——A Social Capital Perspective

整合供应商开展技术创新具有低风险和快速成功的优势,但由于供应商未必会全力以赴地面向制造企业需求实施创新,供应商参与技术创新的效能往往难以达到预期效果。使用供应商创新性反映供应商参与技术创新的实际效能,从社会资本理论视角,探究制造企业通过结构、关系和认知形式的社会资本获取供应商授予的优先客户地位,进而激发供应商创新性的规律。基于186个中国制造业样本的实证研究表明,制造企业获取供应商授予的优先客户地位对激发供应商创新性的效果显著;制造企业与供应商之间的社会资本积累能够促使供应商授予其优先客户地位,但由于结构、关系和认知维度社会资本之间存在内在差异,作用机制有所不同。

Integration supplier into technological innovation posed the advantage of low risk and preferable efficient.However,normally supplier didn't make intensive efforts on innovation facing the need of manufactures,which led to the unsatisfactory effective result of supplier involvement in technological innovation.The present study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of supplier involvement into technological innovation by supplier innovativeness.Base on the social capital theory,the study explored the regular pattern of motivating supplier innovativeness by achieving supplier granted preferred customer status through the social capital between manufacturer and supplier.By empirical researching 186 valid samples which come from Chinese manufacturing industry we found that,manufacture achieves preferred customer statusgranted by supplier positive effects supplier innovativeness.Although social capital between manufacturer and supplier contributes to preferred customer statusachieved by manufacture,the mechanisms are significant difference among structural social capital,relational social capital and cognitive social capital for the reason of the internal difference among three dimensions of social capital.
