Abstract
The present paper investigates the evolution of technology cooperation networks in different industries and the factors influencing them. Based on the cooperative patent data, the technology cooperation networks of the steel, pharmaceutical and solid waste treatment industries are constructed, and the networked evolutionary games model is proposed to study the evolution process of the technology cooperation networks. The effect of cooperation costs, technology spillover, and government support on the evolution of technology cooperation networks is revealed. The results show that reducing cooperation costs and technology spillover and increasing government support can improve the cooperation level and efficiency of technology cooperation networks. Furthermore, there are differences in the impact of these three factors on the evolution of technology cooperation networks in the steel, pharmaceutical, and solid waste treatment industries. This study broadens the research perspective on the evolution of technology cooperation networks and provides practical references for different industries to determine their technical cooperation strategies.
期刊介绍:
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
