Differential game analysis on university-enterprise cooperation considering social responsibility (Q2059266)

Summary: Aiming at not only economic benefits but also social benefits in university-enterprise cooperation, this paper considers both technological innovation and social responsibility in university-enterprise cooperation. By using differential game theory, this paper provides three models of Nash noncooperative game, Stackelberg game, and cooperative game and discusses the impact of these three models on university-enterprise cooperation. Our results show that the Stackelberg game model can improve the innovation level of the university based on innovation cost-sharing and does not change the social responsibility level of the university without sharing the social cost. Among the three game models, the cooperative game model can bring the greatest innovation level and social responsibility level to the university-enterprise cooperation and make the whole system realize Pareto optimal. Our research can provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for university-enterprise cooperation.
