On the Effects of Collaborative Knowledge Innovation on Supply Chain Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

During the age of supply chain competition, one of the problems that the enterprises should cope with is to effectively improve the performance through collaborative knowledge innovation in supply chain. This paper builds a knowledge innovation model between a vendor and a manufacturer in the two-stage supply chain. And then we make a quantitative analysis of the model by the game theory and optimum theory, it is found that: (1)The stronger the manufacturer's innovation ability, the more it can attract the vendors involvement in innovation, and when its innovation cost increases, its enthusiasm for participating in knowledge innovation will be weakened; (2) The variation coefficient of marginal cost plays a positive role in promoting innovation level and performance, however, if the innovation cost coefficient is too high, the innovation level may decrease; (3)Not only can collaborative knowledge innovation in supply chain improve the performances of both the vendor and the manufacturer, but also can improve that of the overall supply chain.
