Research on the Strategic Alliance Between Hospitals and Suppliers Based on Evolutionary Game Theory

Abstract

This paper analyzes the evolution process to build strategic alliance between hospitals and suppliers based on evolutionary game theory. The first stage, the single group evolutionary game is used to analyze the situation whether the hospitals or suppliers will select the cooperative strategy and build the supply chain strategic alliance. The second stage, double groups’ evolutionary game theory is adopted to demonstrate the evolution process of the cooperation relationship between hospitals and suppliers. At last, the related parameters which influence the equilibrium of are analyzed.
