ABSTRACT
Complex networks theory grows rapidly since 1998 and has attracted various researchers in the world. The research on supply chains evolution has great theoretical and practical importance in a global logistics supply chain and to a simple enterprise in the supply chain. In this study, based on the knowledge of complex networks and Multi-agent simulation, supply chain networks of enterprises, as well as statistical analysis, were established and researched. On different optimal conditions for the establishment of cooperative networks of different companies, the statistical nature of the obtained co-operation between enterprises was analyzed. When the degree preference was considered, an interesting supply chain network was got with bimodal distribution in degree, uniform distribution in clustering coefficient and hierarchy topological structure. The present model extends previous approaches to the development of supply chain management.
