“…By integrating customers and suppliers into the green FIGURE 1 Conceptual model innovation process, more accurate and up-to-date customer demand and supply information can be considered in advance (Koufteros, Vonderembse, & Jayaram, 2005). In addition, including customers and suppliers in green innovation teams adds knowledge and expertise regarding new ideas and technology and helps to better coordinate communication and information exchanges (Kou & Lee, 2015), which further enhances green innovation performance.…”

Although green customer and supplier integration have gained much attention, how it affects green innovation performance is still unclear. This study examines the direct and interaction effects of green customer and supplier integration on green innovation performance and the moderating effect of internal integration, using data from 176 Chinese manufacturing firms. The results reveal that green customer integration, green supplier integration, and their interaction are all positively related to green innovation performance. In addition, internal integration moderates the relationship between green customer integration and green innovation performance, but does not moderate the relationship between green supplier integration and green innovation performance. Further analysis indicate that the effects of interaction term on green innovation performance and the moderating effects of internal integration on the relationship between green supplier integration and green innovation performance are significantly different across different firm sizes, providing useful insights for firms. This study provides novel insights for making environmental policies.

“…This finding put ahead, other studies look more into detailed interrelations and can confirm the positive link between supply chain integration and new product success, for example Didonet et al (2014). The influence of cooperation and the supply chain coordination on the launch success has been target of research effected by only two studies, namely Kou and Lee (2015) and Song, Song and di Benedetto (2011). Kou and Lee (2015) show that the cooperation within the supply chain (chain architecture) positively affects the new product performance, because it is a driver for lean launch strategies, wherever it does not have an influence on market share or customer satisfaction.…”

“…In this respect, it is of vital importance with regard to the prospects of success and risks of an innovation project. Nevertheless, only 4% of the literature on new product development still deals with the question of product launch (Kou and Lee, 2015). The current situation is a drastic change, triggered by the fourth industrial revolution, which also has a lasting impact on the aspects surrounding the product launch of new products (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2014;Simon, 2012).…”

This review article deals with the current state of knowledge on the topic of launching new products on the market and the success factors that constitute launch success. As things stand today, it can be stated that the existing research work already covers a broad range of topics and that there is an extended pool of relevant results, which, however, appear rather confusing for the most part due to the lack of comparability of methods and indicators and a large number of specific topics dealt with. It also reveals many gaps of science for future research. The method of this article uses integrative review approach with elements of semi-structured methods to analyse the content of studies concerning the research topic and is thus providing an up-to-date overview of the object of research, which reflects the state-of-the-art on questions relevant to practice and science. Therefore, databases like Google scholar and the university catalogues of the university in Dortmund and Cologne have been used, focussing only on sources that were also listed in Scopus and the Web of Science. The current change through megatrends like the digitalization is also taken into account. Literature on this topic is evaluated to determine the influence of current and future megatrends on the optimal design of product launches. The result is that on the one hand there is already a secure pool of success factors, best-practice methods, typologies and investigation of phenomena encompassing the product launch. On the other hand, the introduction of products to the market is a complex process whose orientation towards the maximum prospects of success must be individually aligned to the respective specifics of the market, product, business model and target group (internal and external), so that there can be no general recipe for success, which applies to every situation. The new opportunities provided by digitisation will also play a key role in this respect.

Green Component Procurement Collaboration for Improving Supply Chain Management in the High Technology Industries: A Case Study from the Systems Perspective

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The impacts of high technology industries have been growing increasingly to technological innovations and global economic developments, while the concerns in sustainability are calling for facilitating green materials and cleaner production in the industrial value chains. Today's manufacturing companies are not striving for individual capacities but for the effective working with green supply chains. However, in addition to environmental and social objectives, cost and economic feasibility has become one of the most critical success factors for improving supply chain management with green component procurement collaboration, especially for the electronics OEM (original equipment manufacturing) companies whose procurement costs often make up a very high proportion of final product prices. This paper presents a case study from the systems perspective by using System Dynamics simulation analysis and statistical validations with empirical data. Empirical data were collected from Taiwanese manufacturing chains-among the world's largest manufacturing clusters of high technology components and products-and their global green suppliers to examine the benefits of green component procurement collaborations in terms of shared costs and improved shipping time performance. Two different supply chain collaboration models, from multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) and universal serial bus 3.0 (USB 3.0) cable procurements, were benchmarked and statistically validated. The results suggest that the practices of collaborative planning for procurement quantity and accurate fulfillment by suppliers are significantly related to cost effectiveness and shipping time efficiency. Although the price negotiation of upstream raw materials for the collaborative suppliers has no statistically significant benefit to the shipping time efficiency, the shared cost reduction of component procurement is significantly positive for supply chain collaboration among green manufacturers. Managerial implications toward sustainable supply chain management were also discussed.
