An effective way to deal with high-risk and low-probability disruptions is to create a resilient cluster supply chain, in which the study of resilience lies in its recovery mechanism when failures occur. First, the paper describes the representation method of cluster supply chain resilience. Second, a cluster supply chain network structure generation model is proposed. And based on cascading effect model, it makes analysis of dynamic evolution process when cluster supply chain failure happens. Then it focuses on the self-organization characteristic, which contributes to cluster supply chain emergence overall resilient recovery through local self-organization reconstruction behavior. We also make theoretical analysis of cluster supply chain network characteristics and its effect on the resilience, which helps to illustrate that the root of vulnerability lies in cascading failure while self-organization is the key to resilient recovery. Besides, with the study of self-organization characteristic, it provides theoretical guidance for local control and further achievement of overall resilient optimization.
Linguistic landscape provides a gateway to capturing unnoticeable changes that are taking place in a given region. As economic globalisation is now expanding in the world, it is of research significance to see how the trend has been reflected in actual language practice. To find out the answer, this paper examines the code choice and the code patterns of shop signs in a less-affluent street of Zhanjiang. Despite the strong presence of Chinese in public space, the competition between Romanised scripts is evidently witnessed. Though English and Hanyu pinyin are popular Romanised systems in public signage, research findings show that on bilingual signs, English instead of Hanyu pinyin has won the favour of local shop owners because it is associated with internationalisation and high quality. As the influence of English continues to expand in China, the study suggests that even in less-affluent regions, English has begun to challenge the status of Hanyu pinyin in sign design at non-official level.
With the increasing complexity of the supply chain, it brings benefits as well as increasing vulnerability to the supply chain. Research on the cause and characteristic of vulnerability is prerequisite for effective management measures. First, a supply chain network model based on Poisson distribution and preference selection mechanism is established, of which the interactions are further studied. On this basis, the cascading failure process of supply chain network i analysed, and then the impact of supply chain network topology on the system vulnerability and the determination of node vulnerability are further discussed. Finally, an example of certain automotive group supply chain is used to verify the effectiveness and practicality of this method. The study finds that the root of supply network vulnerability lies in cascading failure and there is a certain power-law relationship between its scale and frequency, namely supply chain network owns self-organised criticality, which affects the vulnerability of supply chain network. Meanwhile, the node vulnerability assessment method could provide an effective basis for taking effective preventive measures.
