Supply chain is an organizational form that is demand-driven by customer needs, aims to improve quality and efficiency, and uses resource integration as a means to achieve efficient coordination in the entire process of product design, procurement, production, sales, and service. At present, the development of supply chains is shifting from emphasizing process optimization at the individual enterprise level to collaborative progress along the entire industrial chain and value chain. Domestic and foreign practices show that promoting the innovation and development of supply chains and promoting the efficient flow and feedback of logistics, capital flow, information flow, and商流 in the operation of the economy can effectively reduce the operating and transaction costs of enterprises, promote cross-border and collaborative development of industries, and is conducive to deepening industrial division of labor and improving integrated innovation capabilities. Promoting the innovation and development of supply chains has become an important measure to implement the new development concept and an important grasp to promote the structural reform of the supply side.

　　In recent years, China has placed great importance on the innovation and development of modern supply chains. In 2017, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Actively Promoting Supply Chain Innovation and Application", making a comprehensive deployment for the innovation and development of China's supply chain. In 2018, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and other eight departments jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying Out Pilot Projects for Supply Chain Innovation and Application", launching pilot projects for supply chain innovation and application throughout the country. In terms of practice, the development plans of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other regions will include the acceleration of supply chain industry development, optimize public services, and create a good environment for collaborative development among industries and regions. Large enterprises continue to strengthen their synergy and integration with upstream and downstream enterprises, improve their own supply chain systems, and a number of supply chain platforms with strong integration capabilities and high synergy efficiency are being formed. At the same time, as the level of supply chains of Chinese enterprises accelerates, the position of enterprises in the international market has also significantly improved. However, from a general perspective, the development of China's supply chains is still in the stage of catching up, and there are still many shortcomings. The main manifestations are in the following aspects:

　　First, the application of information technology in enterprises is insufficient. At present, the new generation of information technology is widely used, the user's dominance is increasingly highlighted, the way of value creation is changing, the "small core and large periphery" type of organization based on connection is becoming more and more mature, which provides a rare opportunity for the innovation and development of supply chains. However, the current application level of information technology in Chinese enterprises is uneven, the degree of management optimization of information, capital, logistics and other internal information in enterprises is insufficient, it is difficult for enterprises to form effective connection and interaction, and the efficiency of collaboration is not high.

　　Second, the effective division of labor and outsourcing supply between industries are insufficient. The key to supply chain management is to connect, integrate, and coordinate stakeholders, to re建立 an effective transaction structure, and to improve the efficiency of industrial synergy. In this regard, it is important to separate some products and services from the original enterprise and to re-effectively divide and outsource them among enterprises. For a long time, the management operation mode of most Chinese enterprises has been self-contained and relatively closed, paying less attention to open supply chain management, and there has been no sensitive and efficient agglomeration and interaction pattern among the various links in the industrial chain.

　　Third, there is insufficient innovation in supply chain service models. Currently, most supply chain services in China are confined to one or two functional links, focusing on traditional functional elements such as trade customs clearance, circulation processing, and transportation and warehousing. In terms of models, they are mostly positioned as "second-hand" players, with profit models mainly based on logistics companies "charging freight", traders "making a profit from price differences", and retailers "charging rent for property". There are still shortcomings in the practice of embedded services and value-added services. The industries of trade, distribution, and logistics are still in a state of being small, scattered, and superficial, with a scarcity of leading enterprises, which is not matched with the size of the domestic market. Analyzing most of the supply chain service enterprises listed in the China Top 500 Enterprises list, their growth in scale is mostly attributed to the diversified development of industries, rather than in-depth distribution and services in a certain industry, which makes it difficult to form a strong support for the development of the entire industry.

　　Fourth, there is insufficient capacity to participate in global markets. The ability of Chinese enterprises to deeply participate in global markets, serve global users, and obtain global profits is insufficient. Many industries are still in the middle and low-end of the global supply chain and value chain in global competition.

　　Promoting the innovation and development of China's supply chain requires a coordinated approach in terms of policy environment and infrastructure, as well as the active participation of enterprises. Enterprises should take the lead in enhancing supply chain management capabilities through technology application, service innovation, and resource integration.
