In supply chains, which are organizational systems that integrate complex behavioral interactions, partners adopt bipolar strategies that join paradoxical and constructive behaviors to evolve in nowadays environment. This enables them, on one hand, to converge towards common interests through the development of cooperative actions and strategies; and on the other hand, to deviate on their own interests by adopting competitive maneuvers. This dynamics generates an ago-antagonistic system where both of these two concepts, namely cooperation and competition, simultaneously drive the supply chain. In the present article, this system is analyzed by using ago-antagonistic systems theory in order to have a new apprehension of the supply chain approach.
