The Measurement and Countermeasures of Supply Chain Security of Chinese High-tech Companies under American Long Arm Jurisdiction——A Double-case Study on Huawei and Hikvision
For a long time,US bans on high-tech exports to China and US sanctions(through long-arm jurisdiction)on Chinese high-tech companies have,made them facing increasingly serious global supply chain security problems.Based on social network theory and knowledge-based theory,this paper adopts the double case study method of replication logic to study two typical companies:Huawei and Hikvision,and explores how to ensure supply chain security in the context of long-arm jurisdiction.The conclusions are as follows.(1)Focal companies should avoid relying on a single regional supplier source,expand the regional breadth of technology sources,and build a regional diversified global supply chain network.(2)Focal companies should take the trade rules of each country and region into consid-eration,and flexibly select supplier partners according to regional dynamics.They should increase the number of suppliers in strong-tie regions,promote the localization layout,and reduce the number of suppliers in weak-tie and intermediate state regions.They also should depend primarily on domestic technology and increase the proportion of domestic technology sources.(3)Focal companies should strengthen their R&D investment and enhance their talent reserve to realize the accumulation of internal and external knowledge through the introduction of technology from non-long-arm jurisdictions and independent development of alternative technologies.(4)Focal com-panies should implement alliance strategies in non-long-arm jurisdictions,such as establishing joint innovation lab to enhance the sharing awareness of supply chain members and the knowledge sharing degree of supply chain.
