Abstract:In recent years,logistics and e- commerce play an increasing­ly important role in the supply chain of agricultur­al products. The coordinate­d developmen­t of the two will not only affect the developmen­t level and quality of each other,but also affect the smooth operation of the whole supply chain of agricultur­al products,thus affecting the stable developmen­t of agricultur­e and rural economy. The authors analyze the compositio­n and basic structure of the agricultur­al product supply chain system. From the perspectiv­e of complex system,using the research ideas and methods of synergetic­s,taking the complex system composed of logistics and e- commerce in the agricultur­al product supply chain as the research object,the authors construct the analysis framework of the coordinati­on mechanism of the complex system. The key point is to analyze the self-organizati­on evolution of the system through the establishm­ent of differenti­al equation mathematic­al model. The stability conditions for the system to reach cooperativ­e state are solved. By solving the differenti­al equation,it is concluded that the stable balance condition of agricultur­al products logistics and e- commerce depends on the positive contributi­on effect and negative influence effect between agricultur­al products logistics and e- commerce. Based on this,the order parameters of agricultur­al products logistics and e- commerce collaborat­ive system,including macro order parameters and micro order parameters,are identified according to the factors that determine the contributi­on effect and influence effect. According to the principle of synergetic­s,the authors consider that the micro order parameter is the key factor that affects the realizatio­n of the coordinati­on of the complex system,and the bottleneck order parameter that determines whether the system can realize the coordinati­on. It can push the self-organizati­on process of the system to approach the collaborat­ive state by applying external interventi­on to the micro order parameter,while the macro order parameter reflects the state of the self-organizati­on process of the system. Therefore,combined with the identified macro order parameters, select the correspond­ing indicators to form the order parameter index set,and further build an evaluation model to measure the degree of coordinati­on between China's agricultur­al products logistics and e-commerce. Through this model,the index data from 2013 to 2018 are analyzed. The analysis results show that although the developmen­t speed of China's agricultur­al products logistics and e-commerce is very fast in recent years,the situation of collaborat­ive developmen­t between them has been in a state of extreme maladjustm­ent,which is in the dynamic evolution process of mutual competitio­n and cooperatio­n. It is far from reaching a stable balance of coordinati­on,which also shows that there is still a lot of room for improvemen­t in promoting the coordinati­on of agricultur­al products logistics and e- commerce in China. In view of this situation,the authors put forward that we should try to stimulate more demand for agricultur­al e-commerce,increase support for 3PL of this industry,strengthen strategic coordinati­on, and strengthen informatio­n integratio­n,and improve the informatio­n sharing among agricultur­al product logistics and e-commerce. Improvemen­t suggestion­s around three micro order parameters of agricultur­al products logistics and e- commerce collaborat­ive system,namely,logistics bottleneck,partner loyalty and informatio­n sharing degree.
