Abstract
The main contributions of this paper are the presentation, verification and simulations of the e-sourcing cluster strategies. For the experiment needs there were distinguished four sourcing strategies which refer to the level of agent’s empathy (willingness to search for resources that meet requirements of other companies) and the method of the resource distribution. The evaluation of each e-sourcing cluster strategy was simulated in the NetLogo environment.
