Abstract

Purpose

Manufacturing firms must strengthen their supply chain resilience to survive in turbulent business environments. This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to enhance supply chain resilience.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing on organizational information processing theory, the research investigates the impact of AI usage on proactive and reactive supply chain resilience by fostering referent power in the context of demand dynamism. The study analyzes survey data from 285 Chinese manufacturing firms using structural equation modeling and regression analysis.

Findings

The results indicate that AI usage can enhance both proactive and reactive supply chain resilience. Referent power only mediates the relationship between AI usage and reactive supply chain resilience. Furthermore, this mediating effect is stronger under high-level demand dynamism.

Originality/value

This study highlights the value of AI usage in strengthening supply chain resilience and uncovers its underlying mechanisms. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to understand whether firms are driven by external pressure or intrinsic value to conduct green management; this study examines the effects of coercive pressure and ethical responsibility on cross-functional green strategy alignment (GSA) and green process coordination (GPC), and in turn, market and environmental performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on data from 206 Chinese manufacturers, this study empirically tests the proposed relationships using structural equation modeling.

Findings

The results highlight the role of coercive pressure in promoting both GSA and GPC that represent functional green efforts at both strategic and operational levels, indicating firms’ critical concern of obtaining external legitimacy from stakeholders. Ethical responsibility as an intrinsic value promotes GPC that demands joint working from different functions at the operational level. Besides, the authors find that GSA improves market and environmental performance, whereas GPC only enhances environmental performance.

Originality/value

This study adds to the knowledge of the drivers of cross-functional green management from external pressure and intrinsic value perspectives. The findings are also fruitful for practitioners and policymakers.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to present a systematic review of the literature concerning major aspects of innovation performance and compare the research hotspots of innovation performance in the twenty-first century with three primary purposes: first, to view the trend of Chinese and English literature on innovation performance research; second, to summarize the research streams in innovation performance; and third, to predict possible directions for future innovation performance research.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors first introduce a framework of innovation performance research developments. Then they construct a representative data set of bibliographic records, obtaining 1,768 articles in the SSCI citation index database and 1,431 articles in the CSSCI database. The authors then make a comparative analysis from two aspects: research themes and development of academic communities. The research objects are keywords and references so that co-word and co-cited reference networks are established. Finally, the authors combine the direction of research streams about “innovation performance” to summarize 28 questions in three research fields that can be studied in the future.

Findings

The momentum of the literature in English on innovation performance is increasing, whereas the Chinese literature has declined in recent years. The direction of research streams in Chinese and English literature is the same: they are the “innovation system/elements” research stream, the “innovation activity/ability” research stream and the “innovation network/social capital” research stream. Although the directions are the same, the specific contents of the research are different. The direction of future development of innovation performance research can be undertaken in three aspects: follow research into expanding hot topics, mine the research of typical academic circles and develop research into exploring more fields. Combined with the direction of research streams, 28 questions in three research fields are summarized.

Originality/value

Based on the background of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in China, the research on enterprise “innovation performance” is becoming more and more important. The findings help us summarize the research streams related to innovation performance research, better understand the themes that point to directions for future development of innovation performance research and summarize 28 questions.
