Abstract
Although novelty-centered business model design (NBMD) has attracted much attention, how it is affected by supply chain integration (SCI) is still inconclusive. Based on organizational learning theory, this study investigates how three dimensions of SCI (i.e., information integration, operational integration, and relational integration) affect NBMD via inter-organizational learning and the moderating role of big data analytics skills. We test hypotheses by utilizing survey data from 277 Chinese manufacturing firms. Our results indicate that both information integration and operational integration have positive impacts on NBMD. In addition, inter-organizational learning partially mediates the impacts of information integration and operational integration on NBMD. Our research also reveals that big data analytics skills strengthen the positive impact of relational integration on inter-organizational learning. This study provides theoretical and managerial insights for NBMD.
期刊介绍:
The European Management Journal (EMJ) stands as a premier scholarly publication, disseminating cutting-edge research spanning all realms of management. EMJ articles challenge conventional wisdom through rigorously informed empirical and theoretical inquiries, offering fresh insights and innovative perspectives on key management themes while remaining accessible and engaging for a wide readership.
EMJ articles embody intellectual curiosity and embrace diverse methodological approaches, yielding contributions that significantly influence both management theory and practice. We actively seek interdisciplinary research that integrates distinct research traditions to illuminate contemporary challenges within the expansive domain of European business and management. We strongly encourage cross-cultural investigations addressing the unique challenges faced by European management scholarship and practice in navigating global issues and contexts.
