An Empirical Study On The Relationship Between Supply Chain Concentration And Firm Performance Based On Synergetic Perspective

In the era of globalization and knowledge-based,close supply chain partnership has become an important basis for enhancing the competitive advantage of manufacturing enterprises.Higher supply chain concentration can significantly improve product development efficiency and reshape the enterprise market position,which is an important foundation for enterprises to acquire and maintain competitive advantages.In this context,enterprises to carry out supply chain integration activities to improve supply chain concentration is considered as an important cornerstone to achieve effective performance improvement,foundation for enterprises to improve their core competitiveness.However,the existing researches are not clear about how to strengthen the supply chain concentration and how to transform the synergy into the motivation for improving the performance in establishing the supply chain partnership.Based on this,on the basis of transaction cost theory,resource basic theory,synergistic effect theory and contingency theory,from the perspective of coordination,build a theoretical model of supply chain concentration and business performance,supply chain concentration,collaborative innovation and business performance,as well as the theoretical model of supply chain concentration,strategic differentiation and business performance.Through the sample data of 500 manufacturing enterprises,we use empirical analysis of regression analysis,correlation analysis,descriptive statistical analysis and other analytical methods to deeply reveal the realization of the effect of supply chain concentration on enterprise performance.First,supply chain concentration is the basis for improving business performance.Specifically,one-way integration of manufacturing companies with suppliers or customers can significantly improve business performance.This is because after the establishment of a partnership with a supplier or a customer,the company can reduce procurement costs,reduce inventory,reduce the occupation of working capital,improve asset turnover,and improve business performance.Second,the universal relations between enterprises and external organizations constitute the technological alliance of enterprises.Based on a series of information exchange and cooperative research and development conducted among technologyalliance enterprises,they form the synergistic innovation effect among enterprises.On the whole,the degree of collaborative between the concentration of the supply chain and the enterprise performance.However,there are differences in the regulatory roles of supply chain concentration and enterprise performance in different dimensions.Among them,the relationship between customer concentration and firm performance is significantly positively adjusted,and the positive adjustment effect on the relationship between supplier concentration and firm performance is insignificant.Thirdly,the uncertainty of the external environment and the ever-fiercer competitive environment require enterprises to implement differentiated strategies and operate according to different strategies based on different environmental dynamics.Specifically,the degree of strategic differentiation can play a significant positive role in regulating the relationship between the two dimensions of supply chain concentration(supplier concentration,customer concentration)and firm performance.Through the sample data of local listed companies,we empirically study the path of supply chain concentration effect on firm performance.The intrinsic logic,degree of co-innovation and degree of strategic differentiation of different latitude concentrations on firm performance have significant impact on the supply chain concentration and firm performance The Internal Mechanism of Relationship Regulation.It enriches the transaction cost theory,the resource basic theory,the synergistic effect theory and contingency theory,and provides useful theoretical and practical guidance for the manufacturing enterprises in our country to carry out the integrated management of the supply chain and further improve the enterprise performance.
