Abstract

A firm network behavior analysis framework is proposed from the resource-oriented perspective;the power distribution rules are applied to the regulations simulation of firm network behaviors, and a multi-agent simulation model on the network evolution of SMEs cluster is constructed. The results show that (1) the network structure of SMEs cluster is determined by the common network behavior. (2) With the network evolution of SMEs cluster, the disequilibrium of firm power distribution will be deteriorated, however the appearance of dominant firms is not inevitable. (3) The long term trajectory of evolution for SMEs cluster is irrelevant with the initial structure of the cluster, and it is destined to format subgroups during the evolution;(4) The network evolution of SMEs cluster is an alternate process of self-organizing and self-chaos, the determinants of system stability are firm behaviors and the duration of evolution.

Key words
