公司所有权网络中的自发集中控制
Spontaneous centralization of control in a network of company ownerships
摘要:
我们介绍了一个模型的适应性演化的网络公司所有权。最近的一项研究表明,公司控制的经验性全球网络的特点是由控制着全球经济很大一部分的少数大公司组成的一个中央的、紧密相连的“核心”。在这里,我们展示了一个简单的,自适应的“富人更富”的动态可以解释这一特点,它结合了更有影响力的公司的购买力增加,反过来又导致更高的控制。我们的结论是,这种集中式结构可以在没有明确目标的情况下出现,或者是组织良好的战略的结果。
英文摘要:
We introduce a model for the adaptive evolution of a network of company ownerships. In a recent work it has been shown that the empirical global network of corporate control is marked by a central, tightly connected "core" made of a small number of large companies which control a significant part of the global economy. Here we show how a simple, adaptive "rich get richer" dynamics can account for this characteristic, which incorporates the increased buying power of more influential companies, and in turn results in even higher control. We conclude that this kind of centralized structure can emerge without it being an explicit goal of these companies, or as a result of a well-organized strategy.
