Evolutionary Game Analysis of Cooperation Mechanism for Collaborative Product Development in Supply Chain

Abstract

For a two-tier supply chain system consists of manufacturer and suppliers,cooperation mechanism between bounded rational manufacturer and suppliers through long-term collaborative product development is studied on the basis of evolutionary game theory.Firstly,cost and income allocation mechanisms are analyzed;then,supervision and punishment mechanism is explored.Through the analysis of equilibrium results and data simulation,result shows,the probability of cooperation of both sides has a positive correlation with excess income of cooperation and independent product development,and a negative correlation with total cost of development and betrayal income;there is an optimal proportion of excess income allocation that maximizes the probability of cooperation;cost shared by both sides is positively related to the excess income they obtaine;under the condition of supervision,reasonable punishment will effectively reduce betrayal.
