Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the utilisation of a multi-agent system in the field of supply chain management for electronic business. The research investigates the coordination and cooperation processes, and proposes a model for an enhanced and effective cooperation process for e-business. The result provides a theoretical solution and model for agents that adopt this strategy for e-business. Both large and small/medium sized enterprises will benefit by increasing and expanding their businesses globally and by involving and sharing in business to achieve the desired goal. As a consequence, the organisations involved will each earn more profit.
