内容简介:

E-commerce platforms are playing an increasingly important role in influencing manufacturers’ supply chain and product decisions. An emerging supply chain innovation, known as the platform-based consumer-to-manufacturer (PC2M) model, has been initiated by several large e-commerce platforms based on the established digital links between consumers and manufacturers. These links enable consumer inputs on manufacturers’ operations, indirectly by capturing consumers preferences from platform-accumulated big data, and directly by enabling consumers to interact with manufacturers through the e-commerce platform. Although we observe manufacturers increasingly integrate PC2M into new product development (NPD), there is little research on operations innovations surrounding the PC2M model and its impact on manufacturers’ new product success. To fill this research gap, we investigate the PC2M model of JD.com, a leading e-commerce platform that launched the PC2M model in 2018. We first identify two uses of PC2M by manufacturers to facilitate their product development, which we labeled the platform-enabled big data analytics (PBA) and the platform-enabled simulated product trials (PST) respectively, and explore how PC2M enables operations innovations in NPD processes. Next, drawing on the knowledge-based view, we develop research hypotheses and empirically examine whether manufacturers’ adoption of PC2M improves their new product performance using a large-scale, transactional dataset from JD.com. The results indicate that the integration of PC2M, either in the form of PBA or PST, into manufacturers’ NPD processes improves new product performance. In addition, we explore how these effects vary across product types and markets with varying new product introduction rates. The findings offer important managerial insights for improving new product success in today’s data rich environment.
