RESEARCH ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL, SUPPLY CHAIN KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND ENTERPRISE INNOVATION ABILITY
Keywords:
Intellectual capital, Supply chain knowledge sharing, Innovation ability, Relationship researchAbstract
Taking supply chain knowledge sharing as the intermediate variable, this paper constructs a conceptual model of intellectual capital's influence on enterprise innovation ability and explores its mechanism. Based on 288 questionnaires and structural equation models, the theoretical hypotheses are tested. The results show that: Three dimensions of intellectual capital, namely human capital, relational capital and structural capital, have a direct impact on knowledge sharing in supply chain and firm innovation ability. Knowledge sharing in supply chain plays an intermediary role in the impact of intellectual capital on firm innovation ability. Finally, on this basis, this paper gives some suggestions on how enterprises in the supply chain should promote their innovation ability through intellectual capital and knowledge sharing.References
