The Study on Integration of Supply Chain Based on the Symbiosis Theory

Abstract

The increasingly fierce market made it more difficult for the enterprises to survive. Multinational giants such as Wal-Mart had already used the supply chain integration to deal with difficulties and improve their competitiveness.Symbiosis theory provided a new way to ensure it stable and lasting. First,this paper expounded the basic connotation of symbiosis theory, Then,based on the symbiosis theory which came from ecology and supply chain integration theory, this paper attempted to explore a model of the supply chain integration——a model of multi-level,integrative, equipoise and symbiotic integration(MIESI-Model).Finally,this paper did focuses on the realization mechanism of the model from two dimensions which were symbiosis internal integration and symbiosis external integration.
