| Online Supply Chain Finance occurs with the combination of the traditionalSupply Chain Finance and the Internet. Its external environment, participations andthe industrial chains constitute the Online Supply Chain Finance system. Thedevelopment of the system in our country is still in its infancy and it inevitablyencounters some problems. To solve these problems, we must find out the origin, thestatus quo and development trend of the Online Supply Chain Finance system. Onlyexploring the whole evolution process including the external and internal mechanismof the system can we deeply understand the root causes of the problems and promoteits sustainable development. Meanwhile, how to keep the Online Supply ChainFinance system evolving in the orderly direction is still a problem to be explored andsolved. This paper sets the study object as the Online Supply Chain Finance systemand introduce the theory of dissipative structure to research the evolution mechanismof the system and discriminate it’s ordering. It matches the needs of the economicdevelopment and national strategy at the present stage. It also has a certain theoreticaland practical significance on promoting the healthy and sustainable development ofthe Online Supply Chain Finance system. On the basis of consulting a large numberof literature, this paper does following researches:First, completes related theory analysis of the Online Supply Chain Financesystem. Defines the Online Supply Chain Finance system. Discusses the content ofthe Online Supply Chain Finance system evolvement. Analyses the applicability ofusing complex system and the dissipative structure theory on exploring the evolutionof the Online Supply Chain Finance system. Second, analyses the externalperformance of the Online Supply Chain Finance system evolution. Throughintroducing the history of the system, summaries the evolution of financing modesfrom traditional to online Supply Chain Finance, and points out the characteristics ofthe system’s evolution: platformization and ecologization.The evolution of theOnline Supply Chain Finance system also plays a positive role in promotingindustrial upgrading. Third, reveals the inner mechanism of the Online Supply ChainFinance system evolution. Finds out that trust, cooperation and information technology are the basis of the evolution. According to the theory of dissipativestructure, inputting of the negative entropy flow is the essence of the systemevolution, and analyzes the approaches to the negative entropy. The main forcepromoting the evolution of the system is the competition and collaboration among theparticipants. Forth, builds the ordering discriminant model for the Online SupplyChain Finance system evolution. Based on the relationship between the entropychange of dissipative structure and the orderliness of the system, builds model thatdiscriminant the orderliness and establishes positive and negative entropy flow indexsystem. Then puts forward suggestions on how to promote the Online Supply ChainFinance system develop in order.This paper has the following innovation points:(1)applies the dissipativestructure theory to the Online Supply Chain Finance system, and uncovers the basis,essence and dynamic of its evolution.(2)establishes a model that discriminant theorderliness of the evolution of the Online Supply Chain Finance system based on therelationship between the entropy change of dissipative structure and the orderliness ofthe system. The model is to judge whether the system evolves in order over a periodof time.It lays a theoretical foundation for the sustained and healthy development ofthe Online Supply Chain Finance system. |
