Overview

The article demonstrates how supply chain network centrality and structural holes affect innovation performance, indicating supply chain stability may alter these effects.

Key Points

  • A U-shaped relationship exists between supply chain network centrality and innovation performance, promoting both very low and high levels.
  • Structural holes in the supply chain also show a U-shaped effect on innovation performance, enhancing creativity under specific conditions.
  • The stability of the supply chain network moderates the effects of network centrality and structural holes on innovation performance.
  • Strategic optimization of supply chain embeddedness and stability can significantly boost innovation performance among firms.
