Simulation for Forming Service Society

Abstract

This paper proposes mathematical forms of service model based on service dominant logic, in which the origin of the services is explained as work exchange between persons for living. If a person is not good at working for a specific task, the person can exchange this task to the other person who are good at working. When many tasks are exchanged between many persons, a service market is established. In this market, service prices are determined from the balance of demand and supply. A person who wants to decrease their working cost by exchanging their tasks with proper persons can move to a proper market in which his strong task is highly priced. Such movement builds up a small community where partner members can exchange their tasks for mutual benefits. This paper conducts service exchange simulations for deep investigation of service community formation, and as a result, it shows that the small communities are generated on their own account, but their sizes are limited. This limited-size communities, however, decrease the persons' average workload to an extent.
