Research on partner combination selection of the supply chain collaborative product innovation based on product innovative resources

With the transformation from traditional innovation to open innovation, supply chain collaborative product innovation has become a new and promising product innovation model for companies. Partner selection as the primary link of collaborative product innovation in supply chain is the key problem to be solved in its operation management. At present, the research on partner selection of the supply chain mainly focuses on single partner selection. The focus of the evaluation is on the supply chain operation and collaboration capabilities. This is difficult to meet the requirements of supply chain collaborative product innovation on partner combinations. Therefore, according to the objectives and characteristics of supply chain collaborative product innovation, this paper constructs a supply chain collaborative product innovation partner selection index system based on innovative resources, and designs the method to determine the innovative resource attribute weights and supply and demand weights. Considering the capabilities of the alternative partners themselves, the conflicts between different partners, and the complementarity of the innovative resources, a scientific and rational partner combination selection process and method is proposed, and an example calculation is used to verify the advancement and practicality.
