Abstract

Abstract: From the perspective of network embeddedness theory， the influence mechanism of supply-chain network on corporate entrepreneurship was explored. The results showed that organizational learning plays amediating role in the relationship between supply-chain network and corporate entrepreneurship. The two characteristics of relationship and structure exert their effects on corporate entrepreneurship by affecting exploitative and exploring learning. Specifically， the relationship strength and network density of supply-chain network have positive effects on corporate entrepreneurship by promoting exploitative learning， but have negative impacts on corporate entrepreneurship by inhibiting exploitative learning. A conceptual model which reveals the influence mechanism of supply-china network on corporate entrepreneurship was then established accordingly. The present study broadens the application scope of network embeddedness theory， enriches the research on the antecedents of corporate entrepreneurship， and instructs firms to build a dynamic competitive advantage in the fierce market environment.

Key words: supply-chain network, network embeddedness, corporate entrepreneurship, organizational learning
