Abstract

In the last years Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) were driven to aggregate in industrial networks, due to the need to compete in a globalized market, but also to the aspiration to provide sufficient stability for their own small business. SMEs belonging to networks share objectives and strategies with the other SMEs, while preserving their own individual autonomy. One of this network type is the supply chain, where companies collaborate with one or more other companies depending on the sector they belong. A typical problem in this context is to evaluate the place of a new SME inside the network, i.e., the number of potential clients, suppliers and competitors that the SME would have. The goal of this work is to offer an method to analyze the potentiality of existing SME networks based on public information available on the Web.

供应链网络中潜在客户、供应商和竞争者的识别

在过去的几年里，由于需要在全球化的市场中竞争，中小型企业(SMEs)被推动在工业网络中聚集，但也希望为自己的小企业提供足够的稳定性。属于网络的中小企业与其他中小企业共享目标和战略，同时保留自己的个体自主性。这种网络类型之一是供应链，公司根据所属部门与一个或多个其他公司合作。在这种情况下，一个典型的问题是评估一个新的中小企业在网络中的位置，即，该中小企业可能拥有的潜在客户、供应商和竞争对手的数量。这项工作的目标是提供一种基于Web上可用的公共信息来分析现有中小企业网络潜力的方法。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
