摘要

在产品模块化设计任务中,特别是在高科技制造业中,买家和供应商扮演着不同的角色,这可能会对产品架构和模块化创新产生不同的影响。先前的研究倾向于将产品创新视为一个整体概念,忽视了这种差异化影响的重要性。本研究从模块化设计的角度出发,旨在阐明黑箱供应商参与对产品架构和模块化创新的影响,以及产品模块化对这些关系的影响。本研究以产品模块化设计理论为基础,从产品内部结构的角度将产品创新分解为建筑创新和模块化创新,进行深入的理论分析和模型构建。从我国典型高技术制造企业中抽取276份有效问卷,运用多元层次回归分析对构建的理论模型进行实证检验。研究结果表明,黑箱供应商参与正向影响模块化创新,并呈倒u型,产品模块化对黑箱供应商参与有调节作用。然而,黑箱供应商参与对建筑创新的影响在不同的模块化水平上表现出矛盾的差异。在产品模块化设计水平较低的情况下,黑盒供应商参与对建筑创新具有负向影响,而在模块化设计水平中等的情况下,黑盒供应商参与对建筑创新具有正向影响。模块化设计程度超过一定阈值后,影响逐渐减弱。研究结果为管理者提供了有价值的见解,强调了避免仅仅基于整体产品创新来过度简化黑箱供应商的创新影响的必要性。相反,更准确地评估买方和供应商的创新贡献应该基于架构和模块化创新的程度。此外,研究结果表明,在确定合适的供应商合作发展战略时,管理者应考虑公司产品模块化设计特征与创新优先级(即模块化创新或架构创新)之间的一致性。本研究不仅揭示了黑箱供应商参与对建筑创新和模块化创新的不同影响,而且证明了黑箱供应商参与与产品模块化之间的关系具有显著的协同创新效应。这是对现有供应商参与产品创新研究的丰富和深化的探索。

Does black-box supplier involvement help buyers' product modular and architectural innovation? The moderating role of product modularity
Purpose In product modular design tasks, especially in the high-tech manufacturing industry, buyers and supplies play distinct roles, which may have different impacts on product architectural and modular innovation. Prior research has tended to view product innovation as a holistic concept, overlooking the importance of this differentiated influence. This study, from a modular design perspective, aims to clarify the impact of black-box supplier involvement on product architectural and modular innovation, as well as the influence of product modularity on these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Based on the theory of product modular design, this study decomposes product innovation into architectural and modular innovation from the perspective of the product internal structure to conduct in-depth theoretical analysis and model construction. A total of 276 valid questionnaires are collected from typical Chinese high-tech manufacturing firms and used to empirically test the constructed theoretical model using multiple hierarchical regression analysis. Findings The results show that black-box supplier involvement positively affects modular innovation and takes an inverted U-shape, as moderated by product modularity. However, the impact of black-box supplier involvement on architectural innovation shows contradictory differences at different modularity levels. Under a low level of product modular design, black-box supplier involvement has a negative impact on architectural innovation, but under a moderate level of modular design, it has a positive impact. After the degree of modular design exceeds a certain threshold, the impact gradually weakens. Practical implications The results provide valuable insights for managers, highlighting the need to avoid oversimplifying the innovation impact of black-box suppliers solely based on overall product innovation. Instead, a more accurate assessment of the innovation contributions of both the buyer and supplier should be based on the degree of architectural and modular innovation. Additionally, the findings suggest that managers should consider the alignment between their company's product modular design features and innovation priorities (i.e. modular innovation or architectural innovation) when determining an appropriate supplier collaborative development strategy. Originality/value This study not only reveals the different impacts of black-box supplier involvement on architectural and modular innovation, but also proves the significant synergistic innovation effect of the relationship between black-box supplier involvement and product modularization. It constitutes an enriched and deepened exploration in the existing research on supplier involvement in product innovation.

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
