  • Abstract
    Logistics system plays a key role for the success of an enterprise in gaining competitive edge, markets demanding agility and quick market responsiveness, which represent complex phenomena in global competition. To discover the behavior and mechanism of organization, nowadays, more and more people have paid attention to the complexity theory such as self-organization, dissipative structure theory, synergetic theory, etc. The paper introduces the concept of self-organization theories and logistics system firstly. Then enlightened by the systematical methodology, the paper puts forward the concept of sustainability of organization on the basis of analyzing the characteristics of self-organization logistics system. A thorough analysis of the mechanism of logistics system sustainability has been made accordingly. Finally, the paper adopts the logistics system of TCL Group as an example, indicating that the success of TCL Group is mostly due to its effective and efficient self- organized logistics system.
