The impact of supplier innovation on buyer innovation and the moderating effects of geographic distance, financial interdependence and technical similarity

Abstract: PurposeThis study aims to examine the extent to which a buying firm can leverage the firm's supplier's innovations to boost the firm's own innovation performance and key moderators to this relationship.

Different geographical locations of suppliers bring the spatial complexity (Ates ¸and Memis ¸, 2021;Elking et al, 2022). If several suppliers can provide the same products or services, the closer they are to the focal firm, the more it can enhance mutual understanding, define common goals and implement joint innovation projects.…”
