Innovation of Supply Chain Collaboration Models from the Perspective of Business Ecosystems

Abstract

In today’s global economy, competition has shifted from individual firms to networks of ecosystems. This change requires supply chain collaboration to move beyond the limits of traditional linear models and embrace new forms of cooperation. This paper explores supply chain collaboration through the lens of business ecosystems. It examines the key components of ecosystems, analyzes how they drive collaboration and identifies three innovative models: platform-based, modular and value co-creation. The study also discusses the challenges of interest imbalance, data security and instability, while proposing coping strategies including dynamic benefit-sharing, secure data frameworks and strengthened cultural identity. By adopting a conceptual and analytical approach, the paper integrates insights from existing literature with ecosystem theory. The findings highlight the significance of diversity, interdependence and adaptability for modern supply chains. They provide both theoretical contributions and practical guidance for firms seeking more resilient, innovative and sustainable collaborative models. This paper provides suggestions for the development of supply chain.
