This article examined the impact of the supply chain specific investments (SCSIs) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on their enterprise performance (EP). In addition, the mediating role of supply chain financing capability (SCFC) and the moderating role of digital technology adoption (DTA) were also investigated. The valid representative sample for this study was drawn from 380 Chinese SMEs. Multiple regression analysis and a structural equation model were used to test the proposed theoretical model and research hypotheses. The analysis illustrated the positive influence of SCSIs (supply chain asset-specific investments and supply chain relationship-specific investments) of SMEs on their EP. Furthermore, SCFC was found to mediate the relationship between SCSIs and EP, while DTA positively moderated the relationship between SCSIs and SCFC of SMEs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the impact of SCSIs on EP of SMEs based on resource orchestration theory. In addition, this study innovatively sheds light on the internal mechanism and contextual mechanism on the effectiveness of SCSIs for SMEs, through the introduction of two factors, namely SCFC and DTA.

Supply Chain Specific Investments and Enterprise Performance of SMEs: A Resource Orchestration Perspective

Pricing of platform service supply chain with dual credit: Can you have the cake and eat it?

Industrial agglomeration is currently an important mode of industrial organisation in China’s regional economic development. Many provinces rely on their favourable resource and location advantages to formulate corresponding industrial agglomeration policies. Industrial agglomeration policies produce agglomeration effects, which enable enterprises in the agglomeration area to gain external advantages such as labour, resources and technology, effectively improving productivity and promoting sustainable local economic development. Based on the inter-provincial industry panel data from 2008 to 2017, the static benchmark regression model and dynamic GMM model are constructed to study the relationship between industrial agglomeration, labour productivity and exports, and to explore their interaction mechanism and practical effects. The study shows that, firstly, industrial agglomeration in China significantly contributes to industrial exports. However, in the long run, industrial agglomeration has a positive and then negative effect on industrial exports, with an inverted U-shaped curve. Secondly, the relationship between industrial agglomeration and industrial exports is negatively influenced by labour productivity. Finally, based on the perspective of regional heterogeneity, the impact of industrial agglomeration on exports is not significant in industrial base regions, but shows a significant promotion relationship in non-industrial base regions. Moreover, the impact of industrial agglomeration on industrial exports is not significantly different between coastal port regions and non-coastal port regions. Based on the research results, this paper puts forward targeted policy recommendations such as changing the competition model, increasing the introduction of talent and adjusting the industrial structure.
