Robots Trade Network Status And Value Chain Resilience:Empirical evidence from Chinese manufacturing Enterprises
This paper uses the social network analysis method to construct the enterprise-level industrial robot trade network status index,and explores the impact of the industrial robot trade network status on the resilience of enterprises embedded in the value chain and its mechanism with a particular focus on both stability and security.According to the findings of the research,the enhanced status of the industrial robot trade network significantly improves the stability and security of enterprises embedded in the value chain,which means there is value chain resilience improvement effect.Mo-reover,this status presents self-reinforcing characteristics.The status of industrial robot trade network mainly improves the resilience of enterprises embedded in the value chain through technology spillover effect,bargaining power effect and input quality effect.And value chain resilience im-provement effect of industrial robot trade network status is particularly significant in technology-intensive enterprises,non-state-owned enterprises and general trading enterprises.Enterprises with high levels of digitalization can better unlock the enabling effect of industrial robot trade network status on the resilience of the value chain.The conclusions of this article provide a theoretical basis for China to grasp deeply the technological trans-formation of industrial intelligence to enhance the safety and sustainability embedded in the global value chains.
