Abstract
Despite the wideness of the literature on technological innovation, the
diffusion of the supply chain collaborative technology innovation has
not still received much attention. This paper is an attempt to answer
the question that how the supply chain collaborative technological
innovations emerge and diffuse. An agent-based model of collaborative
supply chain technological innovation including the supplier agents, manufacture agents and customer agents is established in this paper, and
the simulation experiments are conducted in terms of two kinds of the
competitive technology innovation diffusion process under four
scenarios. The results show that the supply chain collaborative supply
chain technological innovation diffusion is different from the
traditional technology innovation diffusion, and the relationship
between suppliers and manufacturers has important influence on diffusion
speed and efficiency.
