The Impact of Logistics Technology Innovation on Supply Chain Flexibility： A Moderated Mediation Model

Abstract

Abstract: With the increasingly fierce and complex competition environment of enterprises, more and more enterprises realize the importance of innovative development and supply chain flexibility. Continuously optimizing and upgrading logistics technology has become an important means to achieve rapid response to customer needs. Logistics technology innovation provides basic guarantees and important conditions for supply chain coordination and supply chain flexibility, and improves the dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages of enterprises to deal with uncertainty. This study focuses on the impact of logistics technology innovation on supply chain flexibility, and explores the mediating effect of supply chain collaboration in the relationship between logistics technology innovation and supply chain flexibility. Furthermore, this study also explores the moderating effect of firm size on above relationships. The empirical results show that logistics technology innovation is positively related to supply chain flexibility and supply chain collaboration mediates the relationship between logistics technology innovation and supply chain flexibility. The results also show that firm size moderates the relationship between logistics technology innovation and supply chain flexibility, and firm size moderates the mediation of supply chain collaboration. Specifically, the larger the firm size, the weaker the positive correlation between logistics technology innovation and supply chain flexibility. The larger the firm size, the weaker the positive correlation between logistics technology innovation and supply chain collaboration. The larger the firm size, the stronger the positive correlation between supply chain collaboration and supply chain flexibility.

Key words: logistics technology innovation, supply chain flexibility, supply chain collaboration, firm size
