摘要：

供应商整合是制造企业有效获取和利用外部价值资源以获得竞争优势的重要策略。依据认知行为理论，企业行为决策的科学性取决于其洞察认知水平，制造企业的供应商网络洞察很可能会影响其供应商整合的有效实施，然而却鲜有研究深入讨论。在系统分析已有研究基础上，从网络认知视角探究企业供应商网络洞察对供应商整合的作用机理，并引入关系质量作为中介，构建供应商网络洞察、关系质量和供应商整合三者之间的影响关系模型。通过对中国制造企业的大样本问卷调查收集332份有效样本数据，运用结构方程模型进行实证检验。研究结果表明，供应商网络洞察的五个维度（环境洞察、网络规模、网络定位、关注焦点和交互感知）均显著正向影响供应商整合，同时，网络定位、关注焦点、交互感知还会以关系质量为中介间接正向影响供应商整合。

Abstract:

In the fierce market competition, supplier integration becomes an inevitable strategic choice of manufacturers to gain sustainable competitive advantages by acquiring and using external value resources effectively. According to cognitive behavioral theory, the scientific nature of strategic decision is subject to manufacturers' cognition of the supplier network, namely supplier network insight, which may greatly influence the effectiveness and efficiency of supplier integration strategy. Nevertheless, few existing researches have examined whether and how supplier network insight of manufacturers contributes to their supplier integration. To better reveal the influence mechanism of supplier network insight on supplier integration, this research, considering from network cognitive perspective, clearly defines the concept of supplier network insight which consists of "network scale", "network positioning", "attentive focus", "interaction and perception" and "environmental insight". The relationship quality is also introduced as the mediator, which is constructed as a mediation model. In order to examine the mediation conceptual model and its associated mechanisms, an empirical research is conducted by using 332 valid sample data collected from Chinese manufacturers in the method of structural equation model way. The research results show that every aspect of supplier network insight has a significant positive impact on supplier integration. Additionally, except "network scale" and "environment insight", the level of supplier network insight in "network positioning", "focus of attention" and "interaction and perception" aspects will indirectly affect supplier integration through the relationship quality between manufacturer and suppliers. This paper shifts the focus of attention on supplier integration to network cognition domain, and emphasizes that it's important for supplier management practices of manufacturers to understand their supplier network deeply and systematically. And it theoretically reveals the influence mechanism of manufacturers' supplier network insight on the supplier integration, and further broadens the research scope of supplier integration. In practice, it could guide manufacturers effectively to insight into the supplier network systematically, explore and acquire external value resources, and help manufacturers to carry out supplier integration efficiently. Thus the research results have certain theoretical and practical significance.
