A Coevolutionary Model for Stabilizing Collaboration Trust in Supply Chain

This paper presents a coevolutionary model of collaboration trust in the setting of supply chain. The collaboration trust mode in supply chain is treated as a complicated large dynamic system, rather than a state, involving the simultaneous evolution of collaboration trusts among partners in supply chain. On the basis of coevolutionary analysis of collaboration trust, the paper proposed a coevolutionary model for stabilizing collaboration trust. The model reflects collaboration trust relationship among partners in supply chain. Accordingly, the arithmetic of coevolutionary model is outlined. The result shows that the coevolutionary model and optimizing arithmetic accordingly can well express the fact of collaboration trust in supply chain.
