Cooperation and Competition in the Innovation Ecosystem From the Perspective of Evolutionary Psychology

Abstract

The innovation ecosystem is distinct from innovation itself; the former is based on technology, talent and markets, as well as many other elements of innovation that form the organisational system. Current research on the innovation ecosystem has primarily focused on theoretical discussions of the concept and analysis of evolution mechanisms and influential factors; however, research on mechanisms that influence cooperation and competition within the system is limited. Corporation and competition are the critical elements in the acquisition value of the innovation ecosystem and the realisation of innovation breakthroughs. Given the dynamic nature and complexity of the innovation ecosystem, this research is based on the “value co-creation” theory of innovation ecosystems and consistency with the “reciprocity” principle of evolutionary psychology. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie corporation and competition in the innovation ecosystem from the perspective of evolutionary psychology may foster more efficient cooperation and competition among enterprises, enabling them to realise the value of co-creation and innovation breakthroughs.

A New Grey Target Evaluation Method of Science and Technology Talents Considering ‘Dominant-Implicit’ Reference Points

“…There are two ways to express interval grey numbers, one being the conventional data range expression (see the data on the left of each column in the table) and the other being the combination expression of a kernel and the degree of greyness (see the data on the right of each column in the table). [15,20] 17.5 0.25 [9,10] 9.5 0.08 [4,6] 5.0 0.33 [22,30] 26.0 0.13 [10,15] 12.5 0.17 S 2 [20,22] 21.0 0.10 [12,14] 13.0 0.15 [4,7] 5.5 0.50 [30,35] 32.5 0.08 [25,32] 28.5 0.24 S 3 [16,30] 23.0 0.70 [11,13] 12.0 0.15 [5,8] 6.5 0.50 [40,50] 45.0 0.17 [18,28] 23.0 0.34 S 4 [25,30] 27.5 0.25 [13,18] 15.5 0.38 [7,9] 8.0 0.33 [60,65] 62.5 0.08 [20,35] 27.5 0.52 S 5 [22,24] 23.0 0.10 [10, 13] 11.5 0.23 [4,6] 5.0 0.33 [45,50] 47.5 0.08 …”

“…The improvement in regional carbon efficiency is crucial for regional ecological protection and plans to build a leading demonstration belt of ecological civilization [15]. Firm ecology and competitive environment are key elements for innovation ecosystems to capture value and achieve innovation breakthroughs [16]. HRM research can be divided into three themes, namely HR enablers (technical and organizational), HR applications (description and diagnosis) and HR value (organizational value and talent value) [17].…”

How Military Executives Shape Digital Transformation of Firms—The Moderating Role of Symbiosis Orientation and Market Power

“…Previous studies have focused on industrial symbiosis [46], platform business ecosystem symbiotic strategy [47], the symbiosis of innovation ecosystem [48], and stakeholder symbiosis [49]. Current research also suggests that symbiotic changes in the innovation models, such as the interactions between enterprises with scientific research institutes [50], further promote DTF.…”

Orchestrating Multi-Agent Knowledge Ecosystems: The Role of Makerspaces

“…Therefore, the evolutionary processes of knowledge orchestration could be summarized as the four stages of knowledge exchange, knowledge coordination, knowledge cooperation, and knowledge orchestration (Al-kumaim et al, 2021 ). Particularly, interactive activities and different stages are distinguished by the extent of knowledge interaction and integration, such as exchange, coordination, cooperation, and orchestration, requiring agents to share joint knowledge-based activities for the purpose of value co-creation in a helix shape (Zhao, 2021 ). Compared to linear evolutionary stages of the past, the spiral model of orchestrating processes imply a dynamic and continuous changing balance among independent agents to meet fierce knowledge challenges and competition.…”
