Supply chain stability- the extent to which the composition of the firms supply network remains unchanged over time. In other words, only a few suppliers exit from the relationship with a firm. For instance, company A has 12 major suppliers that have been continuously working with them for the last 5 years, and only 3 new major suppliers were added in these years, while company B had 7 major suppliers that stopped working, and 8 new major suppliers joined in the last 5 years. In this case, company A has a more stable supply base than company B.

Innovation Performance: is defined as extent of radical or incremental innovations (e.g., new product development, number of patents etc.). Take a case of how Japanese automakers usually convince their suppliers to collaborate on product development and obtain supplier led innovations.

Objective # 1: Prediction (Just say:- POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE)

(Relationship between supply base stability and innovation performance)

• Positive or Negative

Objective # 2: Reason (Just mention in a few words in below bullet points - A and B). Maybe you can think about the context of Radical vs. Incremental Innovations. Do some Google search on Radical vs. Incremental innovations and see what examples you may find out.

• A
• B
