This study explores the interplay of microscopic dynamics and macroscopic structures within large-scale distributed supply networks, focusing on the New York garment industry from 1985 to 1995. It analyzes firm interactions, resource layers, and the significance of embedded versus market ties. Key findings discuss degree distribution, betweenness, and connectivity dynamics relevant to supply chain management. Supported by the European Commission's NEST Pathfinder project, this research provides insights into population dynamics and the future of supply networks, suggesting potential pathways for improved efficiency.
