Abstract :
This paper provides a toolkit based on NK fitness landscape to model complex supply chains and to carry out behavioral research analyzing the impact of decision makers´ behaviors on supply chain management. Whereas this methodology has been largely applied in organizational studies, very few applications exist in supply chain contexts. Main research questions that could be addressed by means of the proposed methodology are also outlined.
