Topic:
Measuring complexity in business networks
Presenter:
Sharon Purchase & Doina Olaru, UWA Business School
Abstract:
This seminar will explore complexity measures and there association
to business network performance and structures. This exploratory
research considers complexity benefits to business networks
focusing on interdependence. The data was generated from an
existing agent based model (ABM). The ABM simulates exchanges
processes within an innovation network. We generated 100
scenarios across 450 network systems. After calculating Shannon’s
Entropy, multiple regression and neural networks were used to
explore associations with network structure and exchange
processes. Results indicate the complexity is weakly associated with
network performance. Our contribution explores how complexity can
be measured within business networks.
