Abstract
Purpose: In information economy era, innovation is the key to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. The traditional way of enterprise innovation is outdated and supply chain collaborative innovation has becoming popular. This paper aims to analyses the mechanism of knowledge sharing between enterprises in supply chain collaborative innovation. Design/methodology/approach: This paper analyzes the supply chain members’ willingness to share knowledge by using the game theory. And the result of knowledge sharing between two companies is analyzed by using the evolutionary game. Findings: We broke the knowledge sharing process in supply chain collaborative innovation into knowledge mining and knowledge transferring. We got the best knowledge sharing strategy of each supply chain member. We gave the influencing factors of knowledge sharing between members for the knowledge sharing mechanisms in supply chain collaborative innovation. Research limitations/implications: We didn’t study the willingness of more than two supply chain members to share knowledge and the result of knowledge sharing between them. And this situation is more realistic. Practical implications: Our findings can help to improve the effect of knowledge sharing in supply chain collaborative innovation. Originality/value: The paper introduces the game theory to knowledge sharing between members in supply chain collaborative innovation, deepens the understanding of knowledge sharing in supply chain collaborative innovation, and gives some interesting findings.
Highlights
From the late 20th century to the early 21st century, the rapid development of computer technology, especially the rapid application of the internet, has made the transfer and the sharing of information more quickly and
In the supply chain collaborative innovation environment, there is a collaborative innovation goal, because the result of collaborative innovation may vary according to each different type of collaborative innovation, which leads to companies get different benefits
In order to achieve the goal of collaborative innovation, supply chain members will provide the majority of their knowledge, including their core knowledge
Summary
From the late 20th century to the early 21st century, the rapid development of computer technology, especially the rapid application of the internet, has made the transfer and the sharing of information more quickly and . The development of the information technology has accelerated the transmission of information between all enterprises in the supply chain and facilitates knowledge sharing between them. The most important purpose of supply chain collaborative innovation is to promote the interests of supply chain members. How to distribute benefits among all supply chain members is the most important problem. Each enterprise has its own unique corporate culture, and supply chain collaborative innovation requires companies to work together, it is important for supply chain members to integrate their cultures. The third problem is knowledge sharing between supply chain members. Knowledge sharing between supply chain members is a more difficult problem. In order to solve these problems, this paper analysis the knowledge sharing mechanism of enterprises in the supply chain collaborative innovation
