Abstract:

Based on complex network theory and cascading failure theory, a cascading failure model appropriate for cluster supply chain networks is proposed from the initial node load, node minimum capacity boundary, node failure probability, and “underload and overload” failure mechanism. The proposed model is aimed to understand the chain reaction process of risk propagation in clustered supply chain networks under deliberate attacks on node enterprises. Then numerical simulation is used to analyze the chain reaction process of cascading failure in cluster supply chain networks under deliberate node attack. It is found that the competitive ties between horizontal peer firms as well as the degree of cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises affect the durability of clustered supply chain networks. To increase the resilience of cluster supply chain networks, these factors—strategic flexibility, external dependence, and competitiveness among horizontal firms—must be taken into consideration. Not only a new area is established for cluster supply chain network research, but also fresh perspectives on the sustainable growth of industrial clusters are offered from the perspective of complex networks.

Key words: cluster supply chain network, resource dependence, coopetition relationship, cascading failure
