Impact of dual innovation in supply chain leadership firms on supply chain resilience
摘要
Enhancing supply chain resilience (SCR) is a key process in improving modern industrial systems. Although supply chain leadership firms play an important role in supply chains, they have not sufficiently used dual innovation in enhancing SCR. This study examines the influence of dual innovation in supply chain leadership firms on SCR. A theoretical framework is first developed to elucidate this relationship. The hypotheses proposed are subsequently tested empirically using data from Chinese A-share listed companies covering the years 2014–2023. Results reveal that substantive innovation (SUI) by leadership firms enhances SCR. However, strategic innovation (STI) does not appear to have an impact. Mechanism analysis reveals that the resilience-enhancing effect of SUI operates through knowledge spillovers and production efficiency spillovers. This impact is enhanced by effective market competition and proactive government intervention. Heterogeneous analysis indicates that SUI leads to a larger enhancement of SCR for non-state-owned, downstream, and labor-intensive firms. Implications are presented for supply chain leadership firms seeking differentiated innovation strategies to enhance SCR and boost the formation of modern industrial systems.
