Supply chains are evolving from a typical “chain” structure to a network structure where interconnections between network members are increasing in number, diversity, and strength. These highly connected networks are focused on information flows so that materials and services can be provided that add value to the customer and society as a whole.

These highly connected networks are focused on information flows so that materials and services can be provided that add value to the customer and society as a whole. This research focuses on understanding how a supply network, which is a complex adaptive organizational system, is able to communicate quickly and effectively via information transmission. The paper looks to the Biological Sciences to help understand the evolutionary and structural aspects of such complex systems. » weiterlesen» einklappen
