| Summary: | Material procurement could have a key role in originating and leading
innovations. Firstly, new materials and suppliers can be searched and sourced by material
procurement to reduce their own product price. Then, the consideration and coordination
to introduce those new materials generate pressures to bring innovation for other parts of
the product and manufacturing technologies as chain reactions. Responding to these
pressures, finally, innovative products can be created. These phenomena are highly
possible to occur logically. However, to our knowledge, the study attempting to elucidate
the theme of this study has hardly ever been seen. In previous studies, though “technology
push” and “demand pull” have mainly been focused as origins and causes of innovation
processes, material procurement has hardly been focused. In the 21st century,
modularizations and globalization of supply chain have been progressing in various
industries. Under the circumstances, activities in material procurement for originating
innovation are being intensified especially in practitioners such as in electronics industry.
Accordingly, in this study, an abstracted hypothesis of innovation process originated with
material procurement is proposed as the result of the introductory study. |
