Research On Resources Coordination Of Enterprise Network

With the rapid development of networking and economic globalization, great changes have taken place in environment and existence manner of enterprise, the system boundary of an enterprise expands constantly. As a kind of intermediate organization different from market mechanism and enterprise structure, enterprise network grows rapidly worldwide. The dissertation is mainly based on complex adaptive system (CAS) theory and social network theory (SNT) and integrates various theory achievements. And using multiple methods and tools, which includes literature review, case study, survey and network hierarchy analysis, the dissertation explores the enterprise network and its resource component elements. Furthermore, the dissertation analyzes the influencing factors of enterprise network resource coordination, presents its coordination process model and puts forward the coordination maturity model. The main conclusions are as following:The first part covers chapter 1 and 2. It mainly introduces the theoretical basis, reviews the literature and put forward the research issue. Firstly, it studies the research background and urgent issues of enterprise network, such as complex adaptation, interaction with environment and resource corrdination. Secondly, it reviews the research archivements of enterprise network and its resource corrdination and presents two main theoretical basis - CAS theory and social network theory. Then, it summarizes the research trends and defines the research emphasis of enterprise network coordination in this dissertation.The second part covers chapter 3. It mainly concerns the definition of basic concepts and problems involving the enterprise network resource coordination. Firstly, it analyzes the enterprise network and its composements. By combining the resource concepts in CAS theory and resource-based theory, the concept and connotation of enterprise network resource and its coordination are redefined. In the view of social network theory, it explores the components of enterprise network. Meanwhile, complex adapatation and behavior modle of enterprise network are present as well.The third part covers chapter 4, 5 and 6. It's the core part of this dissertation. First, it studies the concept and connotation about coordination of enterprise network resources. And it has explored the influencing factors by questionnaire and cases analysis which include network stability, network location, trusts among members, exchange of Information, coordination costs, cultural compatibility and environmental uncertainty. Second, it builds coordination process model including opportunity discovery process, communicate process, countermeasures consultation process and network learning process of enterprise network resources. Third, it studies the corresponding conclusions through improves the mathematics model system of countermeasures consultation process, which is that initiative overflow part of the resources promotes the cooperation between agents in the enterprise network, and in corresponding Improves the competitiveness of enterprises. Finally, it builts innovative the coordination maturity model based on four dimensionalities and levels. And the main quantitative study methods are fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and ANP.The fourth part covers chapter 7. It deals with the overall dissertation and the follow-up research work prospects.
