Investigating the Intelligent Logistics Innovation System and Its Innovation Behavior Pattern within Complex Adaptive System(CAS)Theory
Based on the complex adaptive system(CAS)theory,we establish an analytical framework covering the linkage between subjects in the comprehensive micro to macro system within the stimulus-response model,the echo model and the emergent restricted generation model,and focus on the restricted generation process of the intelligent logistics innovation system and its innovation behavior patterns through the quantitative descrip-tion of the stimulus-response process,resource flow,strategy selection and nonlinear feedback among innova-tion subjects.By applying the three research models in the CAS theory,we get the following results:The inno-vation system of intelligent logistics is a complex adaptive system in dynamic evolution;The innovation behav-ior pattern is the result of the cumulative emergence of all active and adaptive innovation subjects,including in-telligent logistics enterprises and the government,both responding to the"stimulus"of internal and external environmental factors and making effective"responses",and the successful innovation behavior pattern will be shared and spread;the"active adaptation"of each innovation subject dominates the"hidden order"of the inno-vation development of intelligent logistics and the continuous innovation of its innovation behavior pattern.
