Study on the cooperative game model of a customer collaborative innovation agreement

Customer collaborative innovation(CCI) is the chief form of an enterprise's innovation activities,whose successful implementation depends on the method of cost and profit sharing among different participants and the resulting collaboration agreement.This study presents quantitative analysis for the drafting of an agreement based on a static cooperative game.Then,given the fact that compulsory implementation of many agreements is difficult to carry out,the cooperative differential dynamic game model was established and the characters and performances of these two models were compared.Results show that the cooperative differential dynamic game model does not require the compulsory implementation of agreement and could guarantee the instant payment of both benefits and costs for each participant,which is more rigorous in theory and closer to reality,thus more advantageous than the static cooperative game model.The outcome of the study has strengthened the application of cooperative models in customer collaborative innovation and supported the improvement of collaborative innovation agreements.
