Theoretical study of complex systems receives more and more attention as most sciences broaden their perspectives. The paper first briefly overviews a few important complexity approaches, then it presents a triple-level model for describing and analyzing collaborating enterprises. The environment is treated as a stochastic process, the core topology of the collaboration is represented by a graph and, finally, the dynamic behavior of collaborating enterprises is modeled as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS). Complexity measures for the different submodels are suggested, some complexity drivers are investigated and it is argued that the model can be effectively analyzed by simulation.
