Abstract :
In the field of network science, current primary interest is collaboration relationships. Differently, this paper focuses on the competition networks that are constructed on the basis of the competition behaviors. The topology of a firm competition network has been investigated empirically and theoretically. The obtained results are significant for further network analysis of the omnipresent competitive phenomena.
