Abstract:

Under the background of China’s increased focus on the stability and security of its industrial and supply chains, as well as the growing challenges faced by Chinese enterprises in a dynamic market environment, there is a pressing need to systematically evaluate the impact of smart supply chain construction on supply chain resilience optimization and enterprise performance improvement. Employing the panel data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies over 2013-2020, the implementation of supply chain innovation and application policies is approached as a quasi-natural experiment in this study. To estimate the impact of constructing a smart supply chain on enterprise performance, a robust DDD model is utilized.The empirical analysis results demonstrate that the construction of a smart supply chain has significant influences on enterprise performance. Firstly, it significantly enhances enterprise performance, thereby indicating that the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the supply chain can assist enterprises in achieving sustainable performance improvement. Secondly, supply chain resilience optimization serves as a key mechanism through which a smart supply chain enhances enterprise performance. This mechanism facilitates the development of dynamic capabilities enabling professional division of labor, control of transaction costs, internal and external financing, and innovation synergy. Thirdly, the policy effect exhibits significant heterogeneity. The construction of smart supply chains has a greater impact on the performance improvement of growing period enterprises, non-state-owned enterprises, labor-intensive enterprises, and technology-intensive enterprises. Moreover, the policy effect is more favorable in situations where there is a lower degree of market segmentation for goods and labor, and when the enterprises are located in the eastern region. The findings of this study have important policy implications for expediting the intelligent transformation and upgrading of supply chains, ensuring the continuous enhancement of supply chain resilience, and accelerating the high-quality development of enterprises.
