Evolutionary Game Analysis of Shared Manufacturing Quality Innovation Synergetic Behavior Considering a Subject’s Heterogeneous Emotions

Abstract

Shared manufacturing provides a new path for the transformation and development of the manufacturing industry, but challenges such as low quality and poor positivity for quality improvement limit the positive role of shared manufacturing. Considering the influences of heterogeneous emotions of subjects on quality decision making, the theory of rank-dependent expected utility (RDEU) and evolutionary game theory were integrated to establish an evolutionary game model of shared manufacturing quality innovation synergy with multi-agent participation and analyze how sentiment affects motivation for quality improvement. The study showed that: (1) emotions, an irrational factor, can significantly change the stable state of the evolution of the shared manufacturing quality innovation synergetic system by influencing the decision-making behavior of decision makers; (2) in terms of the specific microscopic influence mechanism, rationality is the key to ensuring that the behavioral decisions of decision makers do not enshrine large systemic deviations. (3) In terms of the mechanism of heterogeneous emotions, when one party is optimistic, the deepening of the other party’s pessimism tends to bring positive effects; when one party is pessimistic, the deepening of the other party’s optimism tends to bring negative effects. The main management insights are as follows: (1) correctly recognizing and treating heterogeneous emotions of decision makers and regulating the formation and role of heterogeneous emotions of decision makers; (2) appropriately creating an atmosphere of pessimistic emotions, and guiding shared manufacturing to pay attention to manufacturing quality innovation synergy; (3) appropriately releasing favorable information about quality innovation synergy, and continuously promoting high-quality development of shared manufacturing. This study broadens the path of quality improvement in shared manufacturing and the scope of application of emotion theory in a certain sense.

How Does Public Sentiment Affect the Socially Responsible Behavior of Construction Enterprises?

“…For construction enterprises, optimism will always amplify the public's understanding and tolerance of malpractices and generate perception bias, thus ignoring the possible negative impact of the current state of social responsibility fulfillment and restricting their social responsibility practice behavior. This finding differs from those in previous research, showing that "optimism leads to excellent outcomes" is conditional [50], and optimism can moderately increase the probability of decision makers choosing positive strategies [66]. This further demonstrates the uniqueness of the construction industry and the deeper reasons for the lack of social responsibility in this industry.…”

“…In this paper, numerical simulations were conducted using Matlab software to investigate evolutionary paths under various emotional combinations and emotional parameters. The specific parameters are provided in Table 9 and were determined using the gain relationship and the work of references [15,65,66]. Section 3 of the article analyzes the stability of the strategy combinations in four contexts-(rational, rational), (emotional, emotional), (rational, emotional), and (emotional, rational)-based on the different emotional states of the construction companies and the public.…”

Evolutionary Game Analysis of Shared Manufacturing Quality Synergy under Dynamic Reward and Punishment Mechanism

“…Traditional game analysis, due to its inherent limitations, makes it impossible to ensure the robustness and scientificity of the conclusions. Based on the theory of unexpected utility, reference [9] conducted an evolutionary game analysis on the quality improvement of shared manufacturing, but the evolutionary game model built, only involves two game subjects. This research incorporates prospect theory and mental account theory into tripartite evolutionary game analysis, allowing rationality to pervade the entire process while evaluating the law of development of each game subject's behavior under the combination of numerous reward and punishment mechanisms.…”

“…Quality, as the lifeblood of the manufacturing industry [7], is increasingly becoming the key to improving manufacturing enterprises' core competitiveness. Shared manufacturing, an emerging intelligent manufacturing model, is still in its early stages of development, and its quality management process is highly uncertain [8], with issues such as low-quality level, difficulty in quality improvement, and uncertain product quality [9], particularly given that consumers are usually sensitive to the quality of shared products [10], which can pose a significant challenge to the industry if not handled properly. As a result, it has become an urgent issue for shared manufacturing to improve product quality levels in collaboration with each other by all shared manufacturing participants.…”

Key stakeholder perceived value’s influence on autonomous vehicles’ privacy and security governance – an evolutionary analysis based on the prospect theory

“…However, the theory ignores the influence of individual subjective differences and other factors on decision-making. And recent research has found that variations in the values, perceptions of profit and loss and risk attitudes among decision-makers result in significant disparities in psychological preferences (Zhang et al, 2022). These differences directly impact the perceived value of stakeholders for making APJIE 18,2 decisions.…”
