Research on the Impact of Supply Chain Concentration on Innovation Efficiency of Specialized,Elaborative,Characteristic and Innovative Enterprise
The embedding behavior between enterprises and major suppliers and customers in cooperation can bring new development op-portunities for innovation in Specialized,Elaborative,Characteristic and Innovative enterprises.This paper considers the view of rela-tional embeddedness and incorporates supplier concentration and customer concentration into a unified analysis framework by using the Specialized,Elaborative,Characteristic and Innovative enterprises from 2017 to 2021 as sample enterprises to explore the impact of supply chain concentration on the innovation efficiency and the threshold effect of enterprise size and industry competition degree.The conclusion indicates the following.①Both supplier concentration and customer concentration have significant positive impact on the inno-vation efficiency of Specialized,Elaborative,Characteristic and Innovative enterprises.②In the analysis of the threshold effect between supplier concentration and innovation efficiency of sample enterprises,the threshold for enterprise size has a single and double threshold effect,while industry competition only has a single threshold effect.③In terms of customer concentration and innovation efficiency of sample enterprises,there is a single threshold effect for enterprise size,while there are single and double threshold effects for industry competition.The research conclusion provides empirical guidance for supply chain management and the formulation of innovative deci-sion-making for Specialized,Elaborative,Characteristic and Innovative enterprises.
