Features: With the acceleration of economic globalization and the rapid development of information technology, business models have undergone fundamental changes. Shifting from the past one-to-one chain-like supply-demand model to the current multi-to-multi network-based collaborative business model, collaborative business represents an advanced stage of e-commerce development. This book, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China project "Theoretical and Methodological Research on the Network Collaborative Business Chain (Project No.: 70172016)" and the Shanghai Key Discipline Construction Project (Project No. T1201), is based on the theoretical foundations of systems theory, information theory, and cybernetics. It employs the ideas of synergetics, harmonious systems, and the agent model as its methodological focus, with the goal of developing a prototype system with practical application value. The book systematically elaborates on the fundamental theories, model methods, key technologies, and application patterns of collaborative business.
