Supply chain network enables the enterprises to achieve the purpose of knowledge diffusion complementary. Based on the complex network theory, using the method of combining qualitative analysis and model deduction, we established a knowledge diffusion network model that view staff of supply chain as network node, discussed the mechanism of knowledge diffusion, analysed the main control paramete...
