Email this article Research on Evolution of Chinese Telecom Industry System Based on Dissipative Structure Theory
Abstract
In this paper, the self-organization evolution mechanism of the telecom industry which is regarded as a complex system is studied based on dissipative structure theory by taking into account the telecom industry's characteristic and practical problems . First, hte characteristic of the dissipative structure of the telecom industry system is proposed through qualitative analysis. Second, the Brusselator model of the telecom industry system is built, and the dynamic condition needed for the telecom industry system to evolve into a dissipative structure is summarized by quantitative analysis of teh evolution equation. Finally, the self-organization evolution mechanism of the telecom industry system is illustrated withe the China telecom industry. Different from traditional qualitative analysis, the dynamic and quantitative method adopted by this study gives a deep insight for the evolution mechanism of the telecom industry's system,and guides the telecom market towards rational development.
