Abstract
The recent trade friction between the two largest economies, US and China, is having a profound impact on the sustainable development of supply chains at a global scale. Supply chain collaborative innovation has not only become the main means for enterprises in various countries to cope with imponderable changes, but also been the driver of increasing supply chain dynamic capability and of achieving sustainable development of supply chains. Based on the survey data of 510 Chinese enterprises, this paper adopts the hierarchical regression analysis and a structural equation model to study the impact of supply chain collaborative innovation on the sustainable development of supply chains. The results show that: (1) Three modes of supply chain collaborative innovation (namely, technology collaborative innovation, management collaborative innovation, and market collaborative innovation) have different effects on supply chain dynamic capability and sustainable supply chain performance. (2) Supply chain dynamic capability plays a significant intermediary role between supply chain collaborative innovation and sustainable supply chain performance. (3) Supply chain technology collaborative innovation has the greatest direct impact on sustainable supply chain performance, followed by supply chain management collaborative innovation. However, the direct effect of supply chain market collaborative innovation on sustainable supply chain performance is not significant; under the intermediary role of dynamic capability, supply chain market collaborative innovation has a significant indirect effect on sustainable supply chain performance.
Highlights
The recent Sino–U.S trade friction is producing a profound impact on the cooperative relationship in the global supply chain that has been formed in the multilateral trading system in the past 25 years
Convergence validity is mainly measured by three aspects: The factor load, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR)
The distinguishing validity usually requires that the quadratic root of AVE of each measurement variable is greater than the correlation coefficient between the measurement variable and other variables, and the quadratic root value of AVE is above 0.7
Summary
The recent Sino–U.S trade friction is producing a profound impact on the cooperative relationship in the global supply chain that has been formed in the multilateral trading system in the past 25 years. On the basis of the above analysis, from the strategic perspective of response to a complex and dynamic environment, this paper follows the paradigm of “Innovation Behavior-Dynamic Capability-Sustainable Performance” to explore the influence of supply chain collaborative innovation on the sustainable development of supply chains. How to coordinately innovation among supply chain enterprises to effectively manage the logistics, information flow, capital flow and partnership in the supply chain, how to enhance the supply chain dynamic adaptability and how to obtain the higher performance of a sustainable supply chain are the research subjects of this paper. (2) Following the analysis of “behavior–capability–performance”, the mediating effect of dynamic capability in a supply chain between collaborative innovation and sustainable performance is verified by using a structural equation model.
