This paper highlights a work under development on a regional competitiveness project. We report on a multi-lateral, multi-scale perspective for building cooperative relationships that enhance competitiveness Regionally. The approach mimics a System of Systems methodology whereby entity relationships are captured and defined along several dimensions involving multiple constituents and multiple domain concerns. We build a serious game that is a distributed business simulator to approach the prototyping of this crossroads between supply chain management, geographical economics and information systems.
