Abstract

The article posits that a well-developed logistics network is pivotal in ensuring business efficiency in the current context of economic globalization and escalating competition. The author’s central hypothesis is that the logistics network’s architecture is instrumental in realizing the competitive advantages of a business. The article aims to develop theoretical and methodological foundations for constructing and optimizing the architecture of a logistics network within production cooperation, focusing on achieving a specified level of international competitiveness for business entities. The modeling of the logistics network architecture is based on the ArchiMate meta-model. The selection of elements for the architectural model is derived from the harmonized application of market, resource, and institutional concepts to gain competitive advantages. The model of logistics flow movement is presented as a component of the synergy between structural and functional approaches to understanding competitive behavior. These logistics flows are tools for realizing a business entity’s dynamic capabilities in the international market environment. A distinct advantage of ArchiMate lies in offering diverse perspectives on a single corporate architecture model. To demonstrate this advantage, two architectural models were developed. The first model elucidates establishing a list of dynamic capabilities of the logistics network as a basis for international competitiveness. The international aspect is introduced through the architectural element of location, tied to the institutional characteristics of the network node’s geographic area. This model aligns with the Business Capability Map concept and does not contradict the TOGAF standard. The developed architectural model substantiates the author’s hypothesis that competitiveness ensures the value the logistics network delivers to the market. It also illustrates the connection between business capabilities and the system of constraints defined as rules for conducting logistics activities. The second architectural model depicts the movement of logistics flows organized to implement one of the previously introduced business capabilities. It further reveals corporate architecture through the interconnection of logistics system components. The model provides characteristics of modularity, necessary for achieving the desired level of corporate architecture adaptability. The existence of these developed models facilitates various architectural decision-making processes. For example, a component is highlighted to determine the parameters of corporate control distribution.
