Model of the sustained innovation system in logistic enterprises

Abstract

With rapid development of supply chain management and information technology, logistic in China, currently facing market competition that is ever fiercer, are urged to gain sustained competitive advantage by practicing Compared with perspective of traditional research, which tends to focus on innovation in technology, management and service, Thesis combines Theory of Product Life Cycle with Theory of Innovation, and provides readers with a systematic understanding of innovation. In Thesis, we define the sustained innovation system in logistic enterprises with connotation, and create a model for sustained innovation system based on Theory of Product Life Cycle. A detailed and systematic explanation is further provided regarding how sustained innovation system is composed, its implementation path and inter-relations between different development stages. Aided by Model, we finally draw conclusion that logistic service industry in China is currently in Growth Stage. In addition, we analyze implementation paths and strategies concerning product innovation, disruptive innovation and demand-pulled innovation, with aim to provide theoretical and strategic support to logistic in sustained innovation practice.
