Digital-Driven New Quality Productivity and Its Impact on Supply Chain Resilience: A Complex Network Approach Integrating the Hadamard Product

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Technological decoupling, geopolitical tensions, and carbon neutrality pressures have created systemic risks, making supply chain security a global concern. Digital-driven new quality productivity (NQP), as a key driver of supply chain upgrading, plays a crucial role in restructuring modern supply chain systems and enhancing resilience. Based on data from Chinese supply chain data from listed companies (2012–2023), this study integrates enterprise-level NQP and applies complex network methods and the Hadamard product model to analyze how NQP regulates supply chain resilience. The results show that NQP affects network resilience through three nonlinear coupling mechanisms: strengthening defense at fixed points, promoting recovery through chain reinforcement, and enhancing sustainability via network expansion. Its impact is stage-dependent—showing partial vulnerability during early technology diffusion but significantly improving overall resilience at maturity, with structural imbalance remaining a potential risk. This study provides theoretical and practical insights for optimizing supply chain structures and improving risk prevention and collaborative capabilities.
