Abstract

Enterprises in the prefabricated building supply chain (PBSC) only share information according to their interests, which is bound to cause conflicts of interest and reduce the efficiency of supply chain operations. To promote information sharing (IS) in PBSC, it is necessary to construct an evolutionary game model that fits the realistic network. In this paper, based on the integration of existing research, 13 influencing factors of IS in PBSC are analyzed comprehensively from the perspective of information ecology theory. In addition, due to the complexity and uncertainty of the PBSC, enterprise interaction and supply chain network structure affect the IS decision. Therefore, this paper builds an evolutionary game model of IS in PBSC under a scale-free network, and conducts numerical simulation analysis with MATLAB 2017 software to analyze the evolution law of enterprise IS under different situations. The results show that (1) when the network scale is large, the density of information sharers generally increases, and the speed of network evolution to a steady state generally slows down; (2) eight factors can promote the increase in information sharers’ density, and five factors can inhibit it, but factors have no significant effect on the speed of network evolution to reach the steady state. Based on the simulation results, this paper proposes countermeasures and suggestions such as strengthening the support of the policy environment and social environment, setting up the demonstration benchmark of leading construction enterprises, establishing a directional information resource database, and improving information technologies and risk management systems to provide the scientific basis for government supervision and enterprise decision making.
