Research on the Trust in Supply Chain Dynamic Collaboration Based on MAS

Abstract:

On the basis of dynamic trust theory, the paper proposes a staggered theoretic model which describes dynamic collaboration trust in supply chain from the view of collaboration relationship, which studies the dynamic dissimilar effect of institution-based trust on collaboration trust and cooperation intention in differential stage. More than forty supply chain companies in different fields are chosen to be the objects of experimental research and a sample data of more than three hundred actual members is finally collected. Fact or analysis and structural equation modeling are implemented to validate the hypothesized relationship between institution-based trust, collaboration trust in supply chain trust, and cooperation intention in theoretic model.
