Abstract

Information sharing is one of the important ways to improve the overall level of collaboration and performance in the supply chain. The social network structure of structural holes has an important impact on information interaction in supply chain networks. Based on information sharing theory and structural holes theory, we expound the related influencing factors of information sharing in the supply chain and summarizes the relevant characteristics of structural holes. Then, based on the structural hole theory, the supply chain information sharing model is established. On the basis of summarizing the previous studies, the network structure characteristics of structural holes and their influence on the information sharing process in the supply chain network are discussed. Studies have shown that in a mature supply chain network, structural holes affect the stability and trust level of members, but can bring heterogeneous resources. The supply chain needs to choose different strategies according to the external environment to improve the level of information sharing.
