Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The influence of horizontal supplier-supplier competition and cooperation in the supplier network on the ego buyer’s innovation has been investigated, combining network theory with transaction cost theory and resource dependence theory. The cross-sectional data of 130 listed Japanese manufacturers and their supplier networks in 2016 has been collected, and the negative binomial regression has been conducted. The results of negative binomial regression indicate that both S-S competition and cooperation have inverted U-shaped effects on buyer innovation, although the result of S-S competition is not robust.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The study is conducted as the detailed research plan. The data has been successfully collected through the University database. The results of data analysis mostly support the hypothesis.
|
Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Since the interplay between competition and cooperation remains under-researched, the study is aimed to explore how supplier-supplier competition and cooperation jointly drive buyer innovation.

Causes of Carryover |
Because of Corona virus, I could not go abroad for international conference. This year, I am planning to submit a paper to international journal. I am going to use the money to revise the English.
