Abstract
This paper deals with competition diffusion of multiple-advanced manufacturing modes in a cluster environment, to reveal the competition diffusion rules of the advanced manufacturing mode. First, the influencing factors on advanced manufacturing mode diffusion in a cluster environment are analysed. Second, the diffusion properties and the diffusion mechanism are analysed, and the competition diffusion model of multiple-modes is established. Third, the model is analysed and the qualitative results are presented. Finally, the application of the diffusion model is exemplified and simulated (by matlab 7.1), producing results that are consistent with qualitative analysis that also verifies the correctness of the model. In addition, the influence of the cluster environment is discussed. The diffusion model helps enterprises understand the diffusion rules of the advanced manufacturing modes and provides a decision-making basis for enterprises and government.
