Opportunity-resource Integration Behavior from the Perspective of Entrepreneurial Supply Chain: Based on the Multi-case Study of Member Enterprises of Automobile Supply Chain

Abstract

Abstract: Opportunity development and resource development are inseparable in the process of entrepreneurship, and the integration of opportunities and resources is becoming a focus of scholars' study. As a special kind of entrepreneurial network, entrepreneurial supply chain can bring a lot of opportunities and resources to enterprises and positively affect the entrepreneurial process. This paper selects 4 companies:Faw Volkswagen, two suppliers and one dealer of Faw Volkswagen, to carry out an exploratory case study and explore the process of opportunity-resource integration from the perspective of entrepreneurial supply chain and its mechanism of action on entrepreneurial supply chain capability. The findings are as follows:(1) in entrepreneurial supply chain, opportunities for core enterprise mainly come from market demands of end users, and the opportunity development by core enterprises brings opportunities for non-core enterprises. In terms of resources, entrepreneurial supply chain will bring complementary resources to upstream and downstream enterprises. (2) The core enterprise in the entrepreneurial supply chain identifies the opportunities in the end-user market and realizes the utilization of opportunities by combining utilization and exploration resource development. Non-core enterprises in entrepreneurial supply chain identify the opportunities brought by the development of core enterprises, and realize the utilization of opportunities through utilization and exploration of resources development. (3) Resource utilization and exploratory development of member enterprises of entrepreneurial supply chain lays a good foundation for opportunity development. Once opportunities are identified, they can effectively realize the utilization of opportunities. (4) From the perspective of entrepreneurial supply chain, the process of realizing opportunity-resource integration of member enterprises is a process of repeated practice and experience accumulation, which improves the entrepreneurial supply chain capability of enterprises.

Key words: entrepreneurial supply chain, opportunity development, resource development, opportunity-resource integration, entrepreneurial supply chain capability
