创业供应链对新企业绩效作用机理:基于组态视角的定性比较研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 当面对愈发激烈的市场竞争时,诸多新企业借助创业与供应链融合实现独特的竞争优势,从而克服与规模和资源相关的劣势。然而,创业供应链的研究仍在起步阶段,已有研究缺乏创业供应链对新企业绩效作用机理的深入探讨。新企业绩效的提升面临着资源约束、合作伙伴机会主义行为等问题,构建创业供应链能力、采取恰当的供应链治理机制,已成为企业整合创业资源和治理外部关系的主要手段。本文以104家汽车供应商新企业为样本,应用组态理论和定性比较分析方法(QCA)整合创业供应链能力层面和治理机制层面的5个条件,揭示影响创业供应链新企业绩效的复杂因果机制。研究结果表明,驱动高绩效的组态解有3条,非高绩效的驱动机制有2条,其中高水平的能力与高水平的治理机制在高绩效组态中同时出现,对提升新企业绩效起到组态作用;而在非高绩效组态,能力和治理机制并未同时出现。本文的研究结论揭示了高绩效与非高绩效的驱动机制存在的非对称性关系,有助于深化对新企业关键要素替代性与互补性的理解,并为供应链新企业绩效提升提供卓有成效的建议。

Abstract: When faced with increasingly fierce market competition, many new ventures rely on the integration of entrepreneurship and supply chain to achieve unique competitive advantages, thereby overcoming disadvantages related to scale and resources. However, the research on entrepreneurial supply chain is still in infancy, and the existing researches lack an in-depth discussion on the mechanism of entrepreneurial supply chain’s effect on the performance of new ventures. The improvement of new venture performance is faced with resource constraints and opportunistic behaviors of partners. Building entrepreneurial supply chain capabilities and adopting appropriate supply chain governance mechanisms have become the main means for ventures to obtain external entrepreneurial resources and conclude external relations. Existing literatures lack a thorough discussion of the configuration interaction between entrepreneurial supply chain capabilities and governance mechanisms. This study uses 104 auto supplier startups as a sample, and applies the configurational theory and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) approach to integrate five conditions from entrepreneurial supply chain capabilities and governance mechanisms, in order to explore the mechanism of multiple conjunctural causation of differences in venture performance. Results show that: There are 3 configuration solutions to drive high performance and 2 configuration solutions to drive non-high performance. High-level capabilities and high-level governance mechanisms appear simultaneously in the three high-performance configurations, which interact to improve the venture performance, while in non-high-performance configurations, capabilities and governance mechanisms do not appear at the same time. The findings reveal the existence of asymmetric causality compared with high-performance driving mechanisms, which helps to improve the understanding of the substitution and complementarity of key elements of new venture, and provides fruitful results for the improvement of the venture performance in the supply chain.
