ABSTRACT
With the economic globalization and informatization, the development of technology changes rapidly and the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, only share information with suppliers and make full use of information resources can Chinese manufacturing enterprises reduce costs, meet customer demand for diversification and individuation and improve innovation performance steadily. Based on a survey of Chinese manufacturing enterprises and the existing research results, this study proposed conceptual model, carried out an empirical study. Results show that, first, the three dimensions of information sharing between manufacturers and suppliers can have positive impact on innovation performance directly, it can also have a positive effect on manufacturer innovation performance indirectly through relationship commitment, second, the mediating effect of trust on the three dimensions of information sharing and innovation performance is not significant, information quality and information technology can have a positive effect on trust, the effect information content on trust is not significant, the direct impact of trust on manufacturers innovation performance was not significant but trust has an indirect positive effect on innovation performance through relationship commitment. The results provide methods and enlightenment for manufacturers to improve enterprise innovation performance.
