Evolutionary Game and Simulation of Collaborative Green Innovation in Supply Chain under Digital Enablement

Abstract

The deep integration of digital technologies has given rise to the development of new industries and models in various sectors, as well as new opportunities and challenges. Whether digital transformation can drive collaborative green innovation in the supply chain has also become an important topic of great interest, which has not yet been resolved. In this paper, we study the impact of digital enablement on collaborative green innovation in supply chain enterprises in order to assist in reasonable strategic decision making. An evolutionary game model is constructed for both upstream and downstream supply chain companies under digital enablement, following which the model is solved and systematically simulated. Our main findings are as follows: The influencing factors of collaborative green innovation in the supply chain can be divided into driving factors, blocking factors, and regulating factors. After digital enablement, the effect of the drivers of collaborative green innovation is more obvious, the side-effects of the deterrents are weakened, and the threshold of the positive effect of the moderators is expanded. Overall, digital enablement helps to promote collaborative green innovation in the supply chain, and companies should apply digital technology to enable collaborative green innovation.

Dynamic Incentive Mechanisms for Collaborative Innovation of Green Supply Chain Considering Digital Capability and Consumer Green Preference

“…Businesses obtain consumers' preference information through big data, thus influencing the optimal decision making of supply chain members [1,37] and affecting the financing activities of the supply chain [38]. Digital empowerment also has an impact on the green collaborative innovation of the supply chain by constructing an evolutionary game model [39]. Digital process optimization in the digital supply chain can bring economic and environmental benefits to the supply chain [13].…”

Understanding the Role of Collaboration in Mitigating Price Inflation in Renewable Energy Supply Chains

“…In addition, the intense competition and changing market conditions may cause industry participants to be hesitant in sharing confidential information or participating in cooperative projects that could potentially undermine their competitive edge (Borland et al, 2020). The viability and extent of joint endeavours can be affected by regulatory frameworks and policy actions, which can either encourage cooperation or create obstacles to participation (Liang et al, 2019). Therefore, successfully navigating these intricacies necessitates a sophisticated comprehension of the contextual elements that influence collaboration within the renewable energy industry.…”
