Game Analysis of Determinants of Stability of Semiconductor Modular Production Networks

Abstract

In today's rapidly changing environment, semiconductor manufacturers compete more in the area of modular production networks. However, the instability of semiconductor modular production networks can to a large extent lead to the failure of these networks. The aim of this paper is to discuss the significance and explore the maintenance of the stability of these semiconductor modular production networks. Firstly, this paper qualitatively and quantitatively defines the stability of semiconductor modular production networks. Based on this, by establishing game models, this paper analyzes the influence mechanism of the main factors: external market fluctuation, the internal benefit allocation mechanism, and opportunism, which can jeopardize the stability of these networks. We find that: the greater the benefits a member enterprise derives from the common benefits, the more likely it is the member enterprise will not exit the modular production network; the adaptive ability of the networks to the external environment is closely related to the stability of the modular production networks; the supervision and punishment in networks can be substituted for each other and the level of supervision, punishment and trust can exert great influence on the stability of semiconductor modular production networks. Lastly, we propose some specific suggestions.

Exploring the Upgrading of Chinese Automotive Manufacturing Industry in the Global Value Chain: An Empirical Study Based on Panel Data

“…It is normally believed that such a modular value chain could offer benefits to both supply and demand sides. It can further facilitate industrial upgrading [40], by parallel innovations, the exchange of codified information [41], the reduction the industrial entry barriers, and the reorganization of the industries [42,43]. All these findings imply that ELs have high impact on industrial upgrading in the context of the global automotive value chain.…”

The Influencing Factors of Enterprise Sustainable Innovation: An Empirical Study

“…Incentive mechanism refers to a particular method or management system, which maximizes employees' commitment to organizations or work. Empirical studies also showed that the motivation of knowledgable workers such as rewards, recognition, work freedom, cooperative team, work challenge and pressure [45], cooperative trust, participation in decision, compensation, and broad career path [46], the goal-oriented compensation system, and way a team is organized can positively influence innovation performance [27].…”

Coevolution of Interorganizational Psychological Contract and Interorganizational Relationship: A Case Study of Manufacturing Company in China

“…There are mainly three theory sources to study IORS. The first is the transactional cost perspective: they understood the IOR as way to reduce the uncertainty caused by market failure and the high cost related to hierarchical system [7][8][9][10][11]. The second is the resource-based perspective: they posited that it was the resources and the core resources in particular that shaped the IOR [12].…”
