Digital Transformation,Supply Chain Concentration and Supplier Innovation
The digital transformation has not only changed the innovation division of the supply chain,but also affected the organizational connection and value layout of the supply chain,which is the main source of enterprise innovation.Taking A-share listed companies in 2006-2020 as the research object,through mining the text information of the company's annual report,the digital transformation indicators are constructed,and the relationship mechanism between digital transformation of customer enterprises and supply chain innovation is empirically analyzed,as well as the regulatory role of supply chain concentration.Results are as follows.First,the digital transformation of customer enterprises is conducive to improving the innovation level of suppliers.Based on the existing research,the above view shows that in addition to the impact of digital transformation on their own innovation performance,the digital transformation of partners is also the main factor to promote enterprise innovation.Second,the mechanism analysis shows that the digital transformation of customer enterprises can promote supplier innovation through spillover mechanism and incentive mechanism.Among them,spillover mechanism means that on the basis of knowledge or technology spillover of customer enterprises,supplier enterprises carry out independent innovation or imitation innovation.And incentive mechanism means that under the role of digital transformation of customer enterprises,supplier enterprises need to respond to the innovation needs of customer enterprises in a timely manner or carry out their own digital transformation to adapt to the digital transformation of customer enterprises.Third,customer concentration and supplier concentration have negative and positive regulatory effects in the above relationship and mechanism respectively.The above views show that,when the customer enterprise is highly dependent on the supplier enterprise,the supplier enterprise's motivation to cater to the customer enterprise's digital transformation will be reduced,and the importance of the customer enterprise's knowledge or technology spillover will also be reduced.Therefore,the increase of supplier concentration will lead to the weakening of the role of customer enterprise digital transformation on supplier innovation.On the contrary,when customer concentration increases,the impact of customer enterprise digital transformation on supplier innovation will be more significant.Finally,heterogeneity analysis shows that,compared with state-owned,non-high-tech industries and supplier enterprises in close proximity,digital transformation of customer enterprises plays a more significant role in improving the innovation level of non-state-owned,high-tech industries and long-distance supplier enterprises.Therefore,supplier enterprises should closely grasp the digital transformation process of customer enterprises,establish a"chain integration"business idea,strengthen collaborative innovation and cooperation with customer enterprises,promote the level of innovation through digital transformation.
