摘要

The study introduces a new theoretical framework for analyzing production systems and their resilience, linking output complexity to specific network architecture and the market form that can support it. In particular, it is pointed out that connectivity shapes the ability to generate complex outputs. This idea is integrated into a model of vulnerability and redundancy (Ninivaggi and Cutrini, 2025), highlighting that (a) High-complexity outputs require markets closer to oligopolies, with centralized and quasi-decomposable networks; (b) Low-complexity outputs can be produced in more competitive and fragmented markets. In this context, the analysis of entropy provides fundamental insights into the informational structure of networks and the capacity to handle and generate relevant knowledge. Effective information management allows for reducing entropy, improving productive efficiency, and ensuring the resilience of the resulting market form. The conclusions provide practical insights for resource management and economic policy design, while also pointing to new research directions on how innovation has the potential to reshape connectivity architectures and market forms.
