Research On Evolution Of Network Power Based On The Theory Of Life Cycle Of Organization

Network organization is a kind of special form which many enterprises establish competitive advantage and enhance market position to adapt environment which is complex and changing.Selecting corporate development has becoming an unstoppable trend for enterprises.With the emergence of network organizations,the research on the power of the network organization is gradually extended from a single enterprise to a network organization composed of enterprises.Along with the development of the network organization as well as the coupling interaction among businesses,the potential difference of power presents gradually.Enterprises which control crucial resources gradually form a kind of influence to other enterprises and others began to develop relying on the formers.In the end,it causes a kind of asymmetric power.However,this kind of network power is not fixed,because the ability of each node enterprise is changing constantly,and the value and key of the resources are changing.Therefore,network power is dynamic.This paper studies the evolution of network power based on the theory of life cycle of organization.The literature review is used to comb the previous research results and summarize the general theory of network power.By using the field research method,the author interviews with senior managers deeply in the actual network enterprises,and gets the factors of power evolutionary.By using evolutionary game method and by assuming the costs and benefits to construct the replicated dynamic equation of the game both sides.Using jacobi matrix to get evolutionary equilibrium,and using Matlab7.0 software to simulate the evolution trend of the power game simulation.In the end,it concludes the evolution path of the network power.By using case study method,the author choices Huawei and uses text data,survey data and collecting relevant data to analysis evolution characteristics of power.Through researching the evolutionary of network power,this paper draws the following conclusions.Firstly,at different stages of the network organization life cycle,the influence factors of network power are different--the needs of the partners,network benefit maximization,the promotion of study ability and the restriction of organization routine.Secondly,basing on the evolutionary dynamics,the node enterprises choose the game in the first three stages,and the game path presents the compound type.In the recessive stage,the power subject no longer plays the game.Thirdly,through the case study,it is concludes that the evolution effect of network power is multiple--the power size and the position of the power subject are all changed.Through the research on the evolution of network power,this paper finds the characteristics of power evolution.At the micro level,it can help the enterprise power of each node in network organization to be appropriately configured and the network location is appropriately promoted.On the macro level,it can promote the smooth development of network organization.
