Evolutionary game analysis of problem processing mechanism in new collaboration

Abstract

This paper analyzes a problem processing mechanism in a new collaboration system between the main manufacturer and the supplier in the "main manufacturer-supplier" mode, which has been widely applied in the collaborative development management of the complex product. This paper adopts the collaboration theory, the evolutionary game theory and numerical simulation to analyze the decision-making mechanism where one upstream supplier and one downstream manufacturer must process an unpredicted problem without any advance contract in common. Results show that both players ' decision-makings are in some correlation with the initial state, income impact coefficients, and dealing cost. It is worth noting that only the initial state influences the final decision, while income impact coefficients and dealing cost just influence the decision process. This paper shows reasonable and practical suggestions for the manufacturer and supplier in a new collaboration system for the first time and is dedicated to the managerial implications on reducing risks of processing problems.

“…In the study of airline alliance game problem, Zhu et al explored the evolutionary game problem of corporate competition and cooperation with multiple situations strategic decision-making approach [9]. Zhang et al analyzed the impact of external uncertainties on the stability of air cargo alliances based on evolutionary game theory [10]. Yan et al analyzed the impact on the evolutionary trend of airline alliance cooperation when the participants adopted different decision-making behaviors based on loss aversion prospect theory [11].…”
