Supply chain knowledge innovation in Chinese computer manufacturing industry

Abstract

The factors of the knowledge innovation in computer manufacturing industry supply chain is analyzed in this study based on the literature on computer manufacturing, supply chain and knowledge innovation and a influencing factor system of service oriented manufacturing industry supply chain knowledge innovation is constructed. Then, the ability of knowledge innovation of technical, management and market is taken as the input factors and the income rate of net assets is taken as the output factor to construct a Data Envelopment Analysis mode (DEA) according to the characters of supply chain. According to the quantity relationship of the input and output factors in DEA model, the effect to computer manufacturing supply chain knowledge innovation from the ability of knowledge innovation of technical, management and market can be analyzed. The communication equipment industry is taken as a typical example to verify the effect of the influence factors. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
