Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises should take innovation activities if they will get development well, at the same time, making collaboration with other firms is the key for their innovation. This paper discusses several different motivations for SEMs supply chain to make innovative collaboration: (1) the needs of innovation development for SEMs; (2) risks sharing and complementary resources; (3) threats and temptations from innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. While SEMs accounted for most of the total of enterprises, so their development is related to the economics of society. Making effective measures for SEMs supply chain’s innovative collaboration is important.
