PurposeThis paper aims to examine the impacts of corporate entrepreneurship, national policies and supply chain collaboration on the innovativeness of manufacturers of light emitting diode (LED) in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected by using questionnaire survey from the manufacturers involved in the various echelon of the supply chain. The data collected were analyzed by using partial least square (PLS).FindingsCorporate entrepreneurship plays a moderating role in the relationship between national policies, supply chain collaboration and innovativeness.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is only focusing on the supply chain of LED in Malaysia; hence, the results may not be suitable to be generalized to wider populations.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study could help the local companies to understand on how, as entrepreneurs, they could expand from small scale to contract manufacturers through enhancing innovativeness. This is important as failure to do so may cause them to be excluded from the global supply chain.Originality/valueThis study expands the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from the perspective of an emerging country, namely, Malaysia. It also attempts to close the gaps by examining the role of corporate entrepreneurship as the moderating variable.

企业创业、国家政策和供应链合作：马来西亚 LED 制造商的实证研究

目的本文旨在研究企业创业、国家政策和供应链合作对马来西亚发光二极管 (LED) 制造商创新能力的影响。供应链的各个层次。收集的数据采用偏最小二乘法（PLS）进行分析。发现企业创业在国家政策、供应链协作和创新性之间的关系中起着调节作用。研究局限/启示本研究仅关注马来西亚的LED供应链；因此，结果可能不适合推广到更广泛的人群。实际意义 这项研究的结果可以帮助本地公司了解，作为企业家，他们如何通过提高创新能力从小规模扩展到合同制造商。这很重要，因为不这样做可能会导致他们被排除在全球供应链之外。原创性/价值本研究通过从新兴国家（即马来西亚）的角度提供经验证据来扩展现有文献。它还试图通过检验企业创业作为调节变量的作用来缩小差距。原创性/价值本研究通过从新兴国家（即马来西亚）的角度提供经验证据来扩展现有文献。它还试图通过检验企业创业作为调节变量的作用来缩小差距。原创性/价值本研究通过从新兴国家（即马来西亚）的角度提供经验证据来扩展现有文献。它还试图通过检验企业创业作为调节变量的作用来缩小差距。
