The impact of supplier involvement and customer involvementin technological innovation on innovative performance

Abstract

Abstract: Using data collected from 286 enterprises of electronic information industry in Guangdong Province, the effect of supplier involvement and customer involvement in technological innovation on enterprise innovative performance and how technological complexity moderates the relationship between supplier involvement and customer involvement in technological innovation and innovative performance are investigated. Results show that both supplier involvement and customer involvement in technological innovation have a significantly positive impact on innovative performance; technological complexity moderates the relationship between supplier involvement in technological innovation and innovative performance significantly, but moderates the relationship between customer involvement in technological innovation and innovative performance insignificantly.

Key words: supplier involvement, customer involvement, technological innovation, technological complexity, moderating effect
